Pantry

OK.
So I've been doing the Gluten and Dairy free thing for a while now so I thought a good post to start with would be a pantry list. This list is fluid and will change as my tastes and experiences change. As I experiment with new and different flours and ingredients I will add, but I promise, never remove, certain ingredients. Notice that there are zero weird ingredients (no xantham gum/guar gum potato starch) everything on my list can be bought at a supermarket in New Zealand
