Tarian Pantry Kitchen Diary

Our focus is on growing, purchasing and cooking with good plant based foods. Food and cooking doesn't need to be complex. It's about enjoying the simplicity that nature has to offer and reminding you not to loose sight of where food comes from.

Just 'beaning' around

Beans are loaded with protein, fibre and are low in GI so are the ideal food source and start to your day.

Tarian Pantry are all about homemade so our homemade baked beans are the BOMB! For the past two days, we have soaked our cannellini beans, boiled them to complete the cooking process and this morning combined them with our basic tomato sauce to complete the dish.

We served the beans on La Madre shallot and garlic sourdough, sprinkled with home grown parsley and then drizzled the dish with premium olive oil. The only problem with the meal I was told, there was not enough!

Toasty toasty....

"Comfort food" by definition (according to Webster's Dictionary, in 1977): foods consumed to achieve some level of improved emotional status, whether to relieve negative psychological affect or to increase positive feeling.

We all have our favourite comfort foods and the team here at Tarian Pantry is no different. Ours has to be the old favourite, the toasted sandwich. We here at Tarian are all about wholefoods, eating foods for maximum nourishment however there are some exceptions!

Our toasted sandwich 9 times out of 10 needs to be toasted on white bread, or as we like to call it 'trashy white'. The outsides of the bread need to be buttered (nuttalex ofcourse) and the insides, well our favourite range from baked beans to our toasty toasty of the moment: tofutti cream cheese, corn relish and tomatoes.

Warming: All comfort food should be consumed in moderation, you can't have too much of a good thing now!!!!

Tarian Pantry. Because not all food consumed should be 100% healthy.
