my plant based pantry

This list isn’t the whole of what I normally stock up on but this should get you started.  It goes without saying you should always have some good coffee and tea for the mornings and pop over guests.  Also a quality vegan chocolate and coco powder is necessary.  Fresh fruit and veggies are great and I always keep frozen blackberrys for the last minute crisp.
