Winter is the perfect time to take stock of your pantry, especially with soup, stews and slow-cooked meals on high rotation. A quick 20-minute tidy can make weeknight cooking faster, easier and far more satisfying.
Group your staples. Keep broths, lentils, pasta, canned tomatoes and beans together.
Declutter expired items. Check dates and toss what can no longer be used.
Decant bulk items, such as rice, grains and soup mix in jars or containers. It looks great and keeps things fresh.
Create a ‘winter meals’ basket with spices (think cumin, paprika, bay leaves), garlic, and quick add-ins like noodles or miso paste.
With a well-stocked, organised pantry, hearty winter meals are only ever a few steps away.
