Onions	always useful to have and are included in most recipes
Tomatoes	again, used in most recipes
Olives	a very tasty and healthy fruit to have
Yoghurt	get natural, pure Greek yoghurt (obviously!)
Honey	a natural sweetener full of goodness. Organic is best
Eggs	always useful to have in. Free range of course
Wine	for cooking (and drinking!)
Garlic	such an important flavour
Chick Peas	a good staple in the Cretan diet
Dried Beans	a selection of dried beans for delicious combinations
Vinegar	again, another flavour important in some recipes
Lemon Juice	try to get fresh lemons wherever possible
Bay Leaves	an important ingredient for many top chefs
Cinnamon	sticks preferably
Cumin	a good flavour used by the Greeks
