Do we have a thread about this somewhere? This summer, for the first time in many years, we're renting an apartment for 3 months in Umbria. Normally we stay with a friend, who has American'style stuff, like vanilla extract, celery seed, plastic storage containers, measuring cups/spoons, and who-know-what-else. I probably won't do any baking (other than making a pie/quiche crust or two), but I really am wondering what I should take for our stay.
For other short term rentals I always take an apron, a sharp utility knife, a flexible cutting board, rubber gloves, a few dish scrubbers/sponges, a silicone ice cube tray, zip lock bags of assorted sizes, 2 freezer packs, one or two soft-sided coolers, and, if I have room, some cheap plastic storage containers that I can leave behind if need be. I also bring a few shopping bags, an insulated bag and a wine-carry bag for trips to the market/grocery.
If we do have this information somewhere and I couldn't find it, please direct me. If not, maybe we can assemble a basic list here.
