Shelf life | Monocle

thumbnail text

As autumn draws near, it is time to restock our larder with all the long-life victuals required to season our sauces and add crunch to our katsus. While we spend a great deal of time sniffing and squeezing the fresh produce at Portobello Road market, we also spend a great deal of money on pantry staples at Globus in Zürich. It’s all very well nipping into a local butcher’s, baker’s or grocer’s for fresh chops or crisp veg, but some ingredients sit happily on the shelf for months until the occasion arises.

In addition to the obvious – good quality extra-virgin olive oil, soy sauce and Tabasco – no pantry would be complete without an eye-watering wasabi, a bar of extra-fine dark chocolate, a bottle of easy-squeeze Kewpie mayo or a tube of Kalles caviar. Rustling up something from nothing couldn’t be easier.
