The produce aisle can be a little overwhelming. You've got your super-fresh stuff, your local stuff, your organic stuff, your what-the-heck-is-that stuff. Maybe you have a baby in the cart, or a kid tugging on your hand to get to the cereal aisle as fast as humanly possible. Perhaps you have a short list because you do most of your produce shopping at the farmer's market or you're in a CSA-a particularly smart move this time of year.
果蔬市场的食物玲琅满目。有你想要的新鲜食物、当地特产、有机食品，还有其它一些没见过的新鲜玩意儿。也许，你把婴儿放在了推车里，或者牵着一个小孩，他/她正拖着你去买麦片。也许你列了一份简短的购物清单，因为大多数时候你都是在农贸市场或社区支持农业店购买农产品--这是今年较为明智的一项举措。
Regardless of your supermarket strategy, there are fresh foods I suggest you always pick up from this aisle. Nowadays, as a cook who makes Thai and Indian recipes as frequently as she does Italian ones, I find that I need these the most frequently, and curse myself when I do not have them.
无论超市的营销策略如何，我都建议您多买这些新鲜食材！我是一名厨师，经常做泰国菜、印度菜和意大利菜，我发现自己经常需要用这些食材，若身边没有这些食材，我会十分恼火。
Lemons
柠檬
Man, what can't you do with a lemon? You can squeeze them to brighten the flavor of fish, chicken, vegetables, or beans. You can use them for dressings and for cocktails. After juicing them, you can re-use their rinds to make a lemon-sugar oil called oleo saccharum. You can slice them thinly and use them as garnishes for the punch or for whole fish. Limes are great, sure, but lemon is a clean, bright flavor; there's a reason they use the fake version of it in air fresheners and the like. Always have lemons, if you can, and store them in the refrigerator to make them last longer.
兄弟，没有什么菜是不能加柠檬的。你可以挤出柠檬汁，给鱼肉、鸡肉、蔬菜或豆类提味。还可以用柠檬做调料，放在鸡尾酒中做装饰。榨完汁后，还可以用柠檬皮制作一种名为oleo saccharum的柠檬糖油。可以将柠檬切成薄片，点缀一整条鱼。青柠虽说不错，但柠檬更清新、味道更淡，所以才会有柠檬味的空气清新剂（当然是假的柠檬）。如果可以的话，多买些柠檬，而且要放在冰箱里，使其保鲜。
Garlic
大蒜
You saw this one coming. My favorite pizza sauce contains nine whole cloves of garlic. One needs garlic for Thai, Indian, Italian, Greek, Chinese, Israeli, and all sorts of other cuisines. Its flavor shifts and morphs depending on how you cook it. (Have you had it confited or roasted yet? Let today be the day.) Look for plump, firm bulbs. You don't want soft or shriveled cloves. Though we're supposed to store whole heads of garlic in a cool, dark place away from other foods, I tend to pop mine in the fridge, and haven't had issues.
你也想到大蒜了是不是？我最喜欢的披萨酱含9瓣大蒜。泰国菜、印度菜、意大利菜、希腊菜、中餐、以色列菜、以及各种各样的菜系都需要使用大蒜。它的味道会根据你烹饪方式的变化而变化。（你有没有焖过或烤过大蒜？今天就试试吧。）挑一些颗粒饱满的、硬实的大蒜。千万别买软捏的或干瘪的大蒜。尽管我们需要将大蒜放于凉爽的黑暗的地方，不与其它食物一起放置，但我往往把它放在冰箱里，一点问题都没有。
