You can find almost anything in Afghanistan, particularly in Kabul. The issue is that is can take HOURS to locate and you can rarely count on finding it more than once. So following is a growing list of items I’d recommend bringing in with you.

Kitchen Supplies

• Oven Thermometer
• Meat Thermometer
• Wisk (good solid wisk – maybe two)
• Heat-resistant spatulas
• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Pie plate (if you’re into pies)
• Garlic Press (in love with my Zyliss)
• Silicone (…anything – but I’m in LOVE with my cupcake cups)
• Wax Paper

Consumables

• Cream of Tarter
• Corn Meal (though I’m hopeful I’ll find it here)
• Rolled Oats
• Cloves
• All Spice
• Vanilla (good quality)
