Flours + Starches

Blanched Almond FlourThe base of almost every baked thing I make. Blanched, not raw. The skins are what make a cake taste gritty.View on Amazon Organic Coconut FlourThirsty stuff. You need far less than you think, and always another egg. Worth keeping around for the days almond flour is too heavy.View on Amazon Cassava FlourView on Amazon Arrowroot StarchMy cornstarch. It thickens a sauce without the cloudy, gluey thing tapioca does, and it crisps a cutlet beautifully.View on Amazon Tapioca StarchView on Amazon Psyllium Husk PowderView on Amazon

Fats

Virgin Coconut OilView on Amazon Grass-Fed GheeView on Amazon Avocado OilMy high-heat oil. It takes a hard sear without smoking, which olive oil simply will not do.View on Amazon Extra Virgin Olive OilFor finishing and for dressings, not for a hot pan. If it does not taste peppery on a spoon, it is not doing anything for you.View on Amazon Coconut ButterNot coconut oil. This is the whole flesh, blended. It behaves like a nut butter, and it is what makes a dairy-free frosting work.View on Amazon

Sweeteners

Raw HoneyView on Amazon Pure Maple SyrupGrade A dark. Actual tree sap and nothing else. "Pancake syrup" is corn syrup wearing a costume.View on Amazon Coconut SugarView on Amazon Medjool DatesMy sweetener of choice when I want the fiber to come along with the sugar. Soft and sticky, not the dry ones.View on Amazon

Nuts + Seeds

Chia SeedsView on Amazon Flaxseed MealView on Amazon Macadamia NutsView on Amazon Pumpkin SeedsToasted with salt, they go on every autumn soup and salad I make. Cheap magnesium, too.View on Amazon Hemp HeartsView on Amazon Raw AlmondsView on Amazon Raw WalnutsView on Amazon Raw PecansView on Amazon Sunflower Seed ButterView on Amazon Almond ButterTwo ingredients: almonds, salt. If there is palm oil or cane sugar in there, put it back.View on Amazon TahiniView on Amazon

Spices + Herbs

Fine Sea SaltFine grain, so it dissolves into a dressing instead of sitting in it. Most "bland" food is just under-salted.View on Amazon Himalayan Pink SaltThe coarse one, for finishing. It is for the crunch on top, not for the pot.View on Amazon Ground Black PepperView on Amazon PaprikaView on Amazon Smoked PaprikaDoes the work of a grill when you do not have one. A teaspoon turns roasted vegetables into something that tastes like it took effort.View on Amazon Cayenne PepperView on Amazon Ground CuminView on Amazon Turmeric PowderView on Amazon Ceylon CinnamonCeylon, not cassia. It is the milder, sweeter one, and it is the one you want if you use cinnamon daily.View on Amazon Garlic PowderView on Amazon Onion PowderView on Amazon Ground GingerView on Amazon Dried OreganoView on Amazon Dried ThymeView on Amazon Dried RosemaryView on Amazon Pure Vanilla ExtractView on Amazon Organic Spice SetIf you are starting from an empty cabinet, this is the shortcut. Buying eighteen jars one at a time is how people give up.View on Amazon

Pantry

Coconut AminosThe single swap that unlocks the most recipes. Soy sauce without the soy, a little sweeter, so go lighter than you would.View on Amazon Raw Apple Cider VinegarWith the mother (the cloudy sediment is the point). A splash before a heavy meal is an old trick that happens to hold up.View on Amazon Coconut Water VinegarView on Amazon Full-Fat Coconut MilkFull fat, in a can, no gums. It is the backbone of every creamy dairy-free thing on this site.View on Amazon Coconut CreamView on Amazon Unsweetened Almond MilkView on Amazon Unsweetened Dried Coconut FlakesView on Amazon Baking SodaView on Amazon Raw Cacao PowderView on Amazon Dark ChocolateView on Amazon Nutritional YeastThe cheesy, savory note in a dairy-free sauce. Tastes like nothing on its own; do not judge it from the jar.View on Amazon Beef Bone BrothReal broth gels in the fridge. If yours stays liquid, it is stock with a marketing budget.View on Amazon Avocado Oil MayoThe only jarred mayo I buy. Every other one is soybean oil in a disguise, and it is worth reading the back of the jar to see it.View on Amazon Dijon MustardThe emulsifier that makes a vinaigrette hold. Check the label, because most supermarket dijon hides wine or sugar.View on Amazon Dried Shiitake MushroomsView on Amazon

Superfoods + Snacks

Spirulina PowderView on Amazon Beet Root PowderView on Amazon Matcha Green Tea PowderView on Amazon Dried Goji BerriesView on Amazon Unsweetened Dried CranberriesView on Amazon Grass-Fed Beef JerkyProtein you can keep in the glovebox. Read the label for sugar, because most jerky is candy with a chew.View on Amazon Kale ChipsView on Amazon Coconut ChipsThe lunchbox snack that survives a backpack. Toasted, lightly salted, and gone by Tuesday in my house.View on Amazon Kelp NoodlesView on Amazon Shirataki NoodlesView on Amazon

Protein

Grass-Fed GelatinView on Amazon Collagen PeptidesDissolves cold, tastes like nothing. It goes in my coffee every morning and that is the whole reason I actually take it.View on Amazon Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides (Chocolate)View on Amazon Grass-Fed Whey ProteinView on Amazon
