This list can be used as a guide to ingredients needed
for favorite or new recipes.
Keeping your pantry stocked with vegetarian staples
helps give one the confidence of a good cook, and can even help create a
meal-in-a-hurry. It is very important to read labels of seldom-used
products to be sure it is properly vegan.
This list can be modified with your own preferences, and
you might find some of your favorite pantry items missing. While some
recipes will require a trip to the ethnic grocery, after a period of
time you will come to know your most-used specialty ingredients to keep
on hand.
