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.

Imperfect is perfect


After adopting an organic lifestyle over 5 years ago, it soon became apparent that the produce I was purchasing did not look like that found in conventional supermarkets, featured on TV or pictured in magazines.

It wasn't to say that the organic produce I was buying was sub standard, it just meant I was buying produce that fell naturally off trees when ripe and that the produce was grown without the use of pesticides and insecticides. What I noted I was and still eating, was and is nature.

Nature gives us the gift of food, warts and all. I would much prefer to find dirt on my mushrooms, a worm in my lettuce and dark marks on my oranges than buy something that looks like its been airbrushed!
