Ingredients every cook should have in the kitchen

  Anyone interested in cooking and wishing to be a chef, from the amateur to the great chef, should always be stocked with the ingredients that we will present below: - CITRUS FRUITS. Lemons and their derivatives can be used for a wide variety of foods. They should never be missing from your kitchen. - CHICKEN BROTH. With the ability to add a delicious flavor to anything it touches, chicken broth will transform even your simplest dishes into masterpieces. Ideally, you should prepare it yourself and not buy it pre-made or use an instant one. You will really feel the difference. - ANCHOVIES. It's true that their flavor is not accepted by many palates, but they do add something special to meals. A component known as umami, which can easily be created using fish sauce in your kitchen, is almost the mythical fifth taste of glutamate and nucleotides. This will add dimension and depth to your salad dressings and pasta sauces. - WHOLE PEPPER. Generally, people have ground pepper at home. Experts say this is a big mistake; it's best to use whole peppercorns and grind them yourself just before using them. - BACON. It can simply be used for everything. Crumble it in a salad, chop it up and mix it with pasta, use it as a flavor enhancer for seafood, or whatever you want to experiment with. - SEA SALT. Unlike traditional salt, this salt does not dissolve when it comes into contact with liquids like oil and water. This way, it stays crunchy and gives another texture to your dishes. - WINE. For cooking, not just for drinking. How to know which wine to choose? If it's good enough to drink, it's good enough to use in cooking.
