Best basic kitchen food "staples" ?I'm learning to cook from scratch, mostly because my family does not do very well with pre-packaged foods (due to sensitivities to dyes, preservatives, food allergies). What are the best kitchen basic "staples" that I need to cook stuff from scratch? e.g. salt, corn starch, flour, etc. I've just got introduced to yellow corn meal and fell in love. There has to be more out there! Thanks.
