Weâve all had that moment during the day when we ask with a pit in our stomach, âWhat am I going to make for dinner?â We stand in our kitchens having a conversation with ourselves (hopefully silently), âI donât have anything to make.... What I planned doesn't sound good.... I donât have any time to cook let alone get to the store.â
Families across the country are continually searching for a way to make the process easier. Many get discouraged into pre-packaged complacency, which doesnât satisfy any real cravings. Bookstores contain myriad cookbooks toting catch phrases like âQuick and Simpleâ or âCheap and Easy.â The recipes may be quick, but they often require readers to purchase random ingredients they'll never use again. As a result, home cooks find themselves burdened with cluttered pantries, refrigerators, and cupboards filled with hundreds of dollars of cookbooks and specialty items like âred pepper pasteâ and are still left without an easy to use, versatile, and effective system for getting dinner on the table. That's where Sarah Kallio, Stacey Krastins, and The Stocked Kitchen comes in!
The Stocked Kitchenâą is the first complete meal creation system with only one standard list of groceries. If your kitchen is "Stocked" with these ingredients you will always have what you need to create any of the 300 delicious recipes found in this book. These recipes have been used for all of the authors' own dining needs, including meals for drop-in guests, special occasions, and every-night family dinners. The Stocked Kitchen encompasses all parts of the meal creation process from shopping, to storing, to cooking, to serving. The results are delicious, âguest worthyâ meals made from real, basic ingredients.
Sarah and Stacey have proven The Stocked Kitchenâą system works. It has reduced their grocery bills, stress levels, trips to the market, and food waste. Create more delicious meals while removing the handcuffs of pre-planning. One grocery list, endless recipes!
