A well-stocked pantry makes it easy to cook at home, even on busy days. Start with rice, pasta, lentils, oats, canned tomatoes, a good cooking oil and a few spices.

Buy staples in larger packs when they are on offer, store them in airtight jars, and keep a simple list on the fridge so you never run out.

Our Pantry Essentials Bag is a quick way to start.
