Why I don't have the perfect capsule pantry
|
Hello there, what's cooking this week? I talk a lot about keeping things simple in the kitchen: improvising simple meals with what you have, making fewer decisions, and just in general trying to make life easier for ourselves without sacrificing nutrition and taste. And yet, if you peek inside my pantry - as you get to do if you watch the replay of my "Build your capsule pantry" free workshop - you'll see that chaos is also part of my kitchen life. As a professional meal planner and healthy vegan cooking educator, I don't have the perfect capsule pantry or meal planning system. Even my batch cooking habits sometimes leave to be desired (though it's been 200% better since I started Cooking Club in 2023). And you don't need to be perfect either!! What we all do need is a system that works for our real lives. A system that makes cooking less overwhelming and more like a second nature, something we can do almost without thinking... while also being fully present (at least when we can). A system that makes it more likely that we will cook really good food at home from wholesome plant ingredients. What's missing from your system? Hit "reply," I love to hear from you (and I reply to all messages... eventually!!). Keep on cooking, Brigitte p.s. What's for dinner next week? Help yourself to some ideas from the Mini Vegan Meal Plan for late-February and early-March. If you'd like the full recipes, shopping list, prep steps, and direct access to me by text message when you have questions (seriously!), consider subscribing. (Canadians use this link.) |

Hey there, what's cooking? What a ride we're on at the moment. I admit that I've had a hard time focusing on creating new videos and articles over the last few weeks. My cooking hasn't been particularly inspired, either. Anxiety and overwhelm aren't great companions in the kitchen. Still, we have to eat. And even just cooking something small can empower and nourish us. So let's head to the kitchen together. Close our eyes and take three deep breaths. Connect with all the other beings and...
Hello there, what's cooking? This month's free workshop is about adopting a minimalist approach to stocking your pantry: In this 1-hour Zoom event, you'll find out what ingredients I keep inside my kitchen cabinets... and maybe rethink what you should keep in YOURS. You may be surprised to learn that, as a full-time cooking professional, I don't actually have a big kitchen and no separate pantry!! I have to be very intentional about what I stock. We chose to live in an apartment in part...
Hello there, what's cooking? Any plans to batch cook this weekend? While meal plan subscribers will be working from the 07-08 meal plan (see the menu at the bottom of this message), I'll be following the free sample plan you can download.
