Here’s a list of items that I stocked up on this month:

Spices: Nutmeg, Parsley, Thyme, and Salt/Pepper

Potatoes and root vegetables

Butter! I thought French cooking required a lot of butter, but German cooking (at least this cookbook) does as well. Make a lot of Beurre Noisette (essentially browned clarified butter) at the beginning of the month and you’ll be set. Some recipes called for Beurre Noisette and butter added.

Cream. Yummy cream

Stocks- Beef, Chicken and Vegetable

Bread! Yummy bread to have open faced sandwiches with different spreads. I’m still disappointed that this cookbook didn’t include any bread recipes.
