Kit list
Basic pantry checklist
Enough in the cupboard to make a dozen meals without shopping. Keep a running list on the fridge and restock anything half used.
Where it lives: the kitchen cupboard, newer items behind older ones. The reasons behind each item are in what to keep in a basic pantry; every skill is on the master list, and the guides show where each kit fits.
