In her most intimate and compelling cookbook yet, Alice invites readers to step not into the kitchen at Chez Panisse, but into her own, sharing how she shops, stores, and prepares the pantry staples and preserves that form the core of her daily meals. Ranging from essentials like homemade chicken stock, red wine vinegar, and tomato sauce to the unique artisanal provisions that embody Alice’s unadorned yet delightful cooking style, she shows how she injects even simple meals with nuanced flavor and seasonal touches year-round. From fresh cheeses to quick pickles to sweets and spirits, these often-used ingredients are, as she explains, the key to kitchen spontaneity when combined with simple grains, vegetables, and other staple items. With charming pen-and-ink illustrations by her daughter, Fanny and Alice’s warm, inviting tone, the latest book from our most influential proponent of simple, organic cooking ensures a gracious, healthy meal is always within reach. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #164,978 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #261 in Canning & Preserving (Books) #294 in Organic Cooking #345 in Seasonal Cooking (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 372 Reviews | ## Images ![My Pantry: That Make Simple Meals Your Own.

So you can already get a good idea of what to expect. However, I already have a few thick cookbooks that cover most of the basics, and I think this book fills a very particular niche. The top critical review of the book is from a “huge canner, and obsessive pantry manager,” but I think that if you’re not the kind of person who already makes your own yoghurt, cheese, preserved tomatoes, vinegar, almond milk, etc., then you will find it useful. For certain, it’s not an exhaustive treatise on these skills, but I feel that it provides enough information on how to do all of these things. And simplicity is actually a good thing in some cases - I think this book will introduce each reader to at least one new idea, and probably several, by making them accessible. Most of the things described in the book (aside from the chapter on fish and meat) are vegetarian.I didn’t expect to love this book, but I did. And I think it’s great that she used her voice to spread the word. Because, when it comes down to it, the book is about self-sufficiency and independence from corporations that produce mediocre food that’s not produced in harmony with the planet or society. And some of the things that she describes (such as yoghurt or vinegar or even basic cheeses) can be made so simply that it does raise the question of why we have allowed ourselves to become so dependent on giant food corps.She doesn’t preach on topics, but provides just enough information to make you aware of social or environmental issues associated with certain foods (for example, with the importance of buying organic almonds because of the danger to bees posed by the conventional almond industry, or her discussion on seasonality of fish). And she also makes good cases for including certain foods in your diet (like beans and lentils and whole grains) on the basis of not only sustainability and independence but also their sheer deliciousness. I agree with other reviewers that she has blurred the lines a little between pantry staples and regular recipes, by including dishes that are really one-off meals. But I don’t mind this – I think the overall goal is to get people into the kitchen and learning new skills without being overwhelmed. Including a few recipes for simple dishes like lentil soup help to round out the book, I think. She has convinced me on how easy it is to make things like apple peel cider vinegar, avoiding food waste at the same time, and she has also introduced me to some new things like noyeau extract that I look forward to trying. ### ⭐⭐⭐ but recipes pretty basic -lovely to look at and handle *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 October 2015* Delightful illustrations and well-designed lay-out and font, but recipes pretty basic -lovely to look at and handle, but not for culinary inspiration. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 January 2016* good but not as good as the others --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/57385755-my-pantry-that-make-simple-meals-your-own-a-cookbook](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/57385755-my-pantry-that-make-simple-meals-your-own-a-cookbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
