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.

Essentials for the fridge


At times we can become a little lazy in the kitchen but we must limit these moments as this can result in poor eating. Having a few pre prepared food items in your fridge will help you create tasty and nutritious meal in minutes not hours.

Roasted tomatoes
Add to pasta, tofu, green beans and lentils giving your dish a lovely sweetness and caramelised flavour.

Tomato sauce
Use as a sauce for your pasta or gnocchi, a base for your pizza or even a tomato concentrate in an indian curry.

Grated carrot & beetroot
Add to sandwiches, burgers, muffins, salads and the list goes on.

After a weekend market shop, I spend half an hour on a Sunday afternoon roasting the tomatoes, cooking the tomato sauce and grating a few carrots & beetroots. This half an hour saves me hours in the week and ensures good healthy eating for the working week ahead.
