So here we are, the end of the pantry-stocking world. It’s all about the dried goods. It may not seem that exciting but let me tell you, when the world collapses these are the items that are going to save your life.

Part 3 of Violet Séverine Blanchard’s guide to getting your pantry in order.

Okay, you’ve accumulated all the spices you need. Now what? Violet Séverine Blanchard schools you on the wet stuff: oils for fattiness and vinegars for acidity and flavor.

Are you one of those people who complain about how expensive it is to cook for themselves? Or perhaps you have a friend who says that all the time. I say to you (or your sad, hungry friend), that’s nonsense! The problem is this, beginner cook. You don’t have a stocked pantry.

Our target audience are not foodies or chefs or gardeners, though we love you and worship at the same altar. We’re interested in appealing to people who eat out a lot, who stalk the deli section at QFC, who say they “can’t” cook as they pop a Pizza Pocket in the microwave, who think nothing of basing a diet on nutrition sourced thousands of miles away, or indeed, who purchase blackberries.
