Celebrity designer Bobby Berk of Queer Eye fame has just launched a new blog encompassing design, lifestyle, health and wellness, and shopping. In an inaugural post on pantry essentials, Berk outlines his kitchen must-haves, favorite spices, and go-to sauces, explaining, "As much as I try to plan my meals and be prepared, sometimes life gets in the way. When that happens I have two choices, splurge on Postmates (rarely on something healthy) or throw something together with whatever I have in my pantry."
Keep scrolling to see the accessories Berk deems indispensable for the kitchen and pantry, and then head to his post to read the rest.

ShopMepal Microwavable Nested Storage Bowls
Four-bowl wonder. We don’t always (okay, almost never) have time to set a full dinner table each night, complete with silverware and cloth napkins and vegetable sides in nice serving platters. These are the bowls that adapt to how we live and eat pretty much the rest of the time. Use them to store food in the fridge or freezer. Come dinnertime, heat your fixin's in the microwave (sans lids), and serve directly out of the bowls. After you’re done, stick them in the dishwasher, then nest or stack ’em for compact storage. The 100% airtight and leak-proof design makes it a handy not-sad desk lunch accessory—and, with multiple color options, a handsome one, too.
