The Dry Mix Pantry Cookbook: One Jar a Day: 161 Make-Ahead Seasoning Blends, Sou

Stop Paying for a Packet of Salt and Flour.

A dry mix is the boring part of dinner done ahead: measured, combined, and sealed in a jar on a quiet afternoon, then left on the shelf for the Tuesday night when you don't want to think. Open the lid, and the hard part is already over.

The Dry Mix Pantry Cookbook gives you 161 make-ahead mixes, each presented with a picture of the jar and finished dish, the jar size it fits, make-it and use-it steps, and an honest storage time.

Start with 56 days of pantry staples—one jar a day—then explore 105 bonus jars across three collections: The Italian Pantry, The Everyday Packet Shelf, and The Global Pantry, featuring flavors inspired by Italy, the Middle East, and cuisines from around the world. What makes it different

• 10 Master and All-Purpose Mixes that do the heavy lifting across soups, skillet dinners, gravies, sauces, bakes, and more.
• A 56-day plan that builds a working pantry in a sensible order. Follow the plan from day one or jump around—each recipe stands on its own.
• Three bonus pantries. The Italian Pantry, with 32 jars; The Everyday Packet Shelf, with 34 homemade alternatives to popular packet mixes; and The Global Pantry, with 39 jars inspired by flavors such as za'atar, ras el hanout, garam masala, furikake, jerk seasoning, Swedish meatballs, and more.
• One clean layout, every time. Each recipe includes a chef's tip, a “perfect for” line, and an estimated…
