Pantry
Anthony is an excellent cook, and we used to put a lot of effort into finding and trying new recipes. Eventually we started noticing that our favorite foods were the simplest. The sandwich in Paris that was just butter and jambon on a baguette and the best thing we’d tasted. Sardines on a Triscuit. A simple piece of salmon perfectly cooked with just a pinch of flaky sea salt.
Actually, these days, we don’t even really eat structured meals, we simply eat when we’re hungry, and we eat simply.
Our fridge and coat closet (pantries are not a thing in tiny NYC apartments) are stocked with just a few favorite items for when we get hungry.
