Of course, the "universal set of products" - it sounds like a "single wardrobe for all." Absolutely impossible, because each person has his own model of power (someone refuses to meat, the other does not eat dairy products, and the third "sweeps" all in a row), favorite foods and eating habits and, unfortunately, allergies. Still, you can make life easier, if you collect a certain product "base" from which it will be easier "bungled" dinner, even if I forget to go to the store or have no money.
So, the kitchen should always be (restock regularly - for example, on payday):
1. Vegetable oil. This is one of the main kitchen "consumables". Suitable for frying, baking, salad. Better if it will be olive oil, the "correct". But the sunflower is perfect. Also, corn, flaxseed, walnut, etc. Here are just a coconut is better not to buy - from him more harm than good.
2. Legumes as a source of protein and fiber useful. By the way, this is a great alternative to meat for nutritional value. If the kitchen "registered" inexpensive lentils, chickpeas and peas - so you can prepare dozens of dishes, when it would seem, "not from something."
3. eggs. Excellent product for permanent location in the refrigerator. Of these, only what you can not cook! And fried eggs and scrambled and poached, and "Viennese", and so forth. In addition, eggs can always add to the salad, put on a sandwich, send in rice or noodles.
4. Greens. It will add "life" to any, even the most boring dish. The "base set" should include dill, basil, parsley and rosemary (to him perfectly, "is" a baked potato). By the way, the greens can be grown at home, on the windowsill.
5. Bank of chopped tomatoes. They say that fruits and vegetables should make up a third of the daily diet. Of course, sliced tomatoes - not the most luxurious option, but opens great possibilities in terms of color and taste of the "here and now", when nothing else just is not at hand. This is the basis for the salad, and the base for the sauce and broth for risotto, etc. and etc.
6. A basic set of spices - a great way to turn into something unusual dishes, already trite. Selection of spices - of course, the problem of the individual, but there is a general recommendation: do not take large sets, if accustomed to using only 2-3 "grass". The rest in a few months just to lose flavor and sharpness.
7. Whole grain pasta. There is nothing that can brighten up night after night to pay as a pack, carefully hidden away in the kitchen cupboard. The paste is often criticized, but in vain, because it is quite capable of becoming part of a balanced diet. The main thing is to choose the right sauce and / or stuffing. Well, of course, choose wholegrain varieties.
8. Cereals. Another simple possibility to vary the menu. Especially now on the shelves not only rice and buckwheat. Buy couscous, bulgur, spelled, quinoa, etc.
9. Frozen vegetables. All dream of a fresh course. But these - not worse. In any case, most of its beneficial properties after freezing they retained. The main thing is to keep correctly (see packaging).
10. Flour. Even if you do not bake, this product is always useful - cheesecakes roll or bechamel sauce prepared, for example, to the same pasta.
