Pantry Cooking

Pantry cooking focuses on making the most of the ingredients already in your kitchen. I consider "pantry" recipes to be anything that can be made with kitchen staples that you might have in your cupboard, fridge or freezer.

Build your pantry out with my list of pantry essentials. Then, explore the bold flavours of star anise and miso paste, or get inspired by local favourites with my list of Canadian food brands.

With a well-stocked pantry, there’s always something delicious to cook up.
