How to Shop Your Pantry, 2021 style
The last two years have been a bit of a mess. Despite the chaos, cooking with what we have and nourishing our families continues to be top of mind.
The first edition of the How to Shop Your Pantry guide was created in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic to champion delicious and nourishing pantry-forward cooking techniques and recipes.
In addition, a portion of the proceeds helped raise $2,400 for Second Harvest, Canada.
That equals 5,714 meals donated to those who need it because people like you bought, cooked from and shared food from this guide.
This brings me to How to Shop Your Pantry, Volume 2, 2021 edition.
Real-life food that works for your family
Mac & “Cheese”
Vegetarian Coconut Milk Curry
#CleanYourFridge Fried Rice
Seriously Delish Quinoa Salad
Date & Oat Crumble Bars
Golden Salmon Patties with Oats

What can you expect in volume 2
New design, more recipes, tons of good-for-us, good-for-the-planet tips.
Like so much of what we do here, this guide too invites people into my world that blends real-life colour, accessible ingredients with health-boosting benefits and big flavours.
Ordinary foods that most people already have in their pantries are transformed into extraordinary meals. And we know what people have in their pantries because we asked way back in 2020.

Hi, I'm Puneeta!
author, educator, food advocate
I’m an unwavering guide for people seeking out real-life, earth-friendly, delicious solutions for everyday living. My recipes, tips and insights are based on an accessible, science-based approach that prioritizes the planet and keeps the well-being of all people front and centre.
I have extensive experience as an on-air media expert and have been featured on a number of prominent national and international media platforms like CTV, CBC, CHCH, BBC and Martha Stewart.
I believe that the kitchen is the heart of the home and that food is more than a sum total of its parts. I believe the best antidote to counteract the stresses and environmental impacts of modern, post-pandemic life is action — optimistic, hopeful, deliberate collective action. And like so many other good things, this action too begins with what we choose to put on our plate.
That is the spirit behind this digital cookbook and I'm grateful you are considering buying it. Through the purchase of this eBook you will not only better nourish yourselves and your family, you will also donate to a worthy cause that supports people who need our help.
No Waste. No Hunger.
Second Harvest is the largest food rescue organization in Canada and global thought leader on food recovery. They have a dual mission of environmental protection and hunger relief.
Every year 58% of the food produced in Canada is either lost or wasted.
This statistic is even more shocking in this climate of uncertainty when the impact of COVID-19 is being felt most severely by communities who were already living on the edge of food insecurity.
This digital pantry guide comes packed with recipes, meal ideas and tips and is our way to support those who need our help.
