Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Tomato, bulgur, and red pepper soup

    • Orleams on June 03, 2026

      Good, basic, and healthy. Served with a grilled cheese sandwich for protein.

  • Soba noodles with pork, scallions, and shichimi togarashi

    • Bessp on September 05, 2024

      This was a great weeknight meal. I velveted the pork, which was a great decision. I also added some bell peppers, spinach, and red onion. Next time I'll up the veggies and reduce the soy sauce down to 1/3 or 1/4 cup, it ended up being a lot saltier than I wanted.

  • Singapore noodles

    • Ycool on October 28, 2025

      Really yummy but be warned, it takes a lot of dishes and a lot of concentration to pull off. This is not a recipe you can ignore while it cooks. For me, and I admit, I'm a slow cooker, it took about 90 minutes but some of that was waiting for the water to come to a boil.

  • Black beans and rice

    • KarenPR on February 02, 2026

      Easy, fast and tasty.

  • Chana masala

    • Orleams on May 28, 2026

      Good, easy, healthy recipe. Precooked 1 cup dried chickpeas in Instant Pot instead of 2 cans.

  • Charred cabbage salad with torn tofu and plantain chips

    • Acarroll on November 08, 2023

      I was excited for this recipe but it didn't deliver. Red curry and ginger were overpowering.

  • Spicy chilaquiles with fried eggs

    • dorothy_2zgupb on March 07, 2026

      Would give this recipe 4.5. Really good but we used ingredients we had leftover from the week. We replaced cotija with cheddar. Think the cotija and crema Fresca would have made this a 5.

Flexibility is at the core of pantry cooking—when every cook needs to improvise. The Complete Modern Pantry captures the ethos of true pantry cooking with a unique approach: clear blueprints for building simple dishes (brothy vegetable soup, one-pot pasta, Thai-inspired curry) combined with hundreds of flavor combinations and improv ideas that leave you plenty of room to play (and use up what you have on hand).

• A pantry is more than canned beans. Expand your pantry horizons with recipes like Butternut Squash and Spinach Galette, Frozen Veggie Frittata, and Bottom-of-the-Box Pasta (go ahead, mix together bow ties and rigatoni). • Recipes focus on what the ingredients do, not just what they are. Because no two pantries are the same, every recipe gives you ideas for simple swaps. Trade bread crumbs for toasted nuts when you just need something crunchy to finish a dish, and sub soy sauce for Worcestershire for that umami boost. • This book adapts to any pantry. Instead of calling for a finite list of ingredients, we encourage thinking by categories (such as grains, noodles, umami condiments, root vegetables) and write recipes accordingly. • Become your own test cook. With 6-10 ways to vary every recipe, you'll gain the confidence you need to get creative in the kitchen.
