In a time where ‘self-isolation’ has become a catchphrase, retailers are running out of supplies, and hand sanitiser has become the most coveted item, we’re all searching for comfort – something that food definitely provides in abundance.

Finding yourself in a situation that warrants an extended home stay may lead to stocking up on non-perishable items and products with a lengthy shelf life. The challenge is creating hearty, delicious meals that are affordable and drool-worthy.

We’ve rounded up our favourite recipes that you can make with what you have in your pantry right now – that includes spices, condiments, pastes, pre-made sauces and canned foods; grains such as rice, quinoa, couscous, polenta, pap, pasta; dried pulses such as lentils; as well as seeds, nuts, dried fruit, flours and beans. (Freezer items like frozen veggies also included!)
