Arguably, salt and pepper are the two most important things you need in the kitchen. As well as all of your kitchenware, a good set of knives, a range of pots and pans and some beautiful plates to serve it all up on, of course. But apart from that, salt and pepper are the most important things.
Serving up a freshly shaken bowl of salad? Add a grinding of coarse black pepper to give it a little pizazz. Set down a huge, steaming, glimmering tomato soup? A dash of fine black pepper is the cherry on top. Cooked fish, chicken, vegetables or literally anything else? You can’t go wrong with a bit of pepper.
