Every chef, from novice to expert, has certain prized ingredients they cannot and will not live without. And being someone who holds the kitchen quite dear to her heart, I have my own list of Must-Have Kitchen Ingredients that a chef of any skill is likely to require.

Though a chef’s ingredients will vary depending on the type of cooking they do, it’s safe to say that certain STAPLE ingredients are necessary for giving the food we all know and love that special something. So stick with these TOP 10 Must-Have Ingredients and you’ll be whipping up chocolate souffles before you know it. Well, maybe not souffles, but something close to it!

TOP 10: Must-Have Kitchen Ingredients

1.   Kosher Salt

• Great for seasoning just about anything from meat and fish to soups and veggies. I prefer Kosher Salt over Iodized Salt as it has better texture and adds greater flavor.

2.  Olive Oil

• This versatile and flavorful oil is great for sauteeing fish, vegetables, or meat. It’s also commonly used in salad dressings, marinades, soups, and even baking!

3.   White Flour

• Aside from being a staple used for baking, white flour is used as a base for soups and stews, fried foods, and thickening sauces.

4.   Garlic

• Adds depth and flavor to any dish without the added salt and calories. Garlic can be used in almost any dish and is especially tasty when roasted and paired with pasta!

5.   Chicken Broth

• Another great flavor booster without the extra calories or fat. Chicken broth is a great subsitute for olive oil and butter in salad dressings, marinades, and sauces.
