Food Needs

I started this assignment with the realization that I live alone and work long hours. I have access to food via work and don’t have a definite schedule for dinner. With that said, I tried to estimate as well as I could.

Food Needs

Some of the items seem like a lot for a single guy, like the carrots, onions, and garlic. I’ve added a large amount because of their usage in standard recipes, such as stock and soups. Just a side note in cooking they are called arromatics.

Also, I added a large amount of berries for making jams and chutneys. If your interested in a good cookbook for canning and jarring the perseveration kitchen is a good one.

Lastly, I added a large amount of Nappa cabbage so I could make my mothers traditional kimchi recipe. There really is nothing like growing, salting, seasoning, jarring, aging, then finally eating a perfect kimchi.
