Kitchen staples and basic recipes are the nuts and bolts of every cook's kitchen

They are what I like to call the toolbox recipes. They are the flavoursome, nourishing base components and little extras that can finish a dish to make it sing.

Rid your cupboards of readymade, processed staples and change the way you cook with this essential collection of healthy recipes for stocks, sauces, spice mixes, butters, oils, ferments, cultures, chutneys and more.

Create your own kefir, kimchi and pickles. Discover how to make nut milks, creams and cheeses. Customise your favourite dishes with a wealth of spice mixes, marinades, dressings and dips. Indulge in sumptuous fruit butters and seasonal bakes. Enjoy raw chocolate, gut-healing marshmallows and tempting syrups and cordials.

Nutritious, delicious and unequivocally joyful, The Wholefood Pantry shows how recipes can be combined to expand your culinary repertoire and make everyday dishes extraordinary.
