What do you always have in your kitchen? When Nora Ephron wrote her famous list<\/a> of things she\u2019d miss and not miss, she said she\u2019d miss butter, pie, bacon, waffles, and the concept of waffles. And it made me wonder what foods bring other people joy.<\/p>\n

Curious, I texted cookbook author Dan Pelosi<\/a> this morning, and his list was: \u201colive oil, rigatoni, castelvetrano olives, lemons, anchovies.\u201d And our beloved Jenny Rosenstrach<\/a> told me: \u201chummus, yogurt, cabbage, cottage cheese \u2014 and this time of year, Mallomars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric Kim<\/a> and Adam Roberts<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Then I asked my friend Adam of The Amateur Gourmet<\/a>, and he said: \u201cblueberries, bittersweet chocolate, Frantoia olive oil, anchovies, and Aleppo pepper for that fruity heat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate Baer<\/a>, poet and mom of four, has \u201ctortilla chips, feta, roadside fruit, frozen peas, and sourdough bread from my sister in law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ali Slagle<\/a> just wrote about Samin Nosrat\u2019s 40 essential ingredients<\/a>, which include Dijon mustard, chickpeas, basmati rice, bone-in chicken thighs, and red onions. And from Trader Joe\u2019s? She stocks Taiwanese Green Onion Pancakes<\/a> in the freezer. \u201cThen I can \u2014 for breakfast or dinner \u2014 have a scrambled egg or two on a scallion pancake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, I had to ask Freddie<\/a>, my personal chef, and his list was: \u201capples, eggs, chicken stock, olive oil, and black pepper (in the mill, you have to grate it on the spot). Oh, and broccoli in the freezer, so I can saut\u00e9 it with garlic and oil for my boys.\u201d<\/p>\n

What five things do you always have on hand? I\u2019d love to hear. Our own list has stayed mostly the same: cheddar cheese, French yogurts<\/a>, honeycrisp apples, Gotham Greens pesto<\/a>, and cavatappi pasta. Plus, all the boxes of Cheerios for teenage boy breakfasts!<\/p>\n

P.S. My favorite lunch<\/a>, the best jarred tomato sauce<\/a>, and what are your pet peeves?<\/a> (I have a weird one.) Also, we asked this question three years ago<\/a> and nine years ago<\/a>! Have your answers changed?<\/p>\n
