New to Cooking? A List of Must-Have Food Items for Your Kitchen

This is my must-have food items list for the kitchen. It is based on a European cooking style, so take it with a grain of salt particularly when it comes to spices. If I have these items in the house, I can always cook a tasty meal in minutes.  I have everything I need here for a fruit salad or a tasty apple with biscuits. I can make a rice meal or quickly prepare some deviled eggs.
