What we eat,
drink, and keep
in the pantry.

The long read01
A sourdough starter, kept alive for three years.
It's been fed twice a day, travelled between three kitchens, and survived one very close call in a fridge that got unplugged for a weekend.
It's called Beryl. This is what we've learned from keeping her alive.
Pantry
Currently on the shelf.
The things we keep close because they make almost everything else better.
Recipes
Things we cook more than once.
Not complicated. Not precious. Just very good things that have earned their place in the rotation.
