Everything You Need to Know About The Capsule Pantry

I want to save you money and time whilst reducing food waste
Here’s the deal.
For $5 a month or $50 a year, I’ll send you at least one highly adaptable recipe a week that you can personalize based on what you love to eat and what’s (probably) already in your pantry.
Free subscribers? You’ll get at least one recipe a month.
The recipes will have countless variations so you can adapt them to what suits you.
I’ll teach you:
How to adapt a recipe to what you have in your own pantry.
The principles of cooking so you know how to successfully substitute one ingredient you don’t have for one that you do.
What to do with about-to-perish ingredients.
How to look at your whole fridge and pantry as one big ecosystem. No more throwing out food because you didn’t know what to do with it. No more ingredients that don’t work with anything else in your food stash.
I call it “thinking like a chef.”
Chefs are masters at reducing food waste because their profit margins can’t afford them not to be. They know how to make myriad dishes from one market-fresh ingredient and their own small, focused pantries.
Soon, you’ll know how to do this too.
All this means you’ll never have to say “I’ve got nothing to eat” ever again.
$5 a month for saving potentially hundreds on your monthly grocery bill? Sounds like a good deal to me.
Who’s behind the Capsule Pantry?
My name is Charlie Brown (yep, like the Peanuts character).
I’m a wine professional, supper club cook, and hospitality pro who, after 8 years of owning what was once awarded the UK’s best independent wine store and bar — Vino Vero — sold everything including the business for a life on the road.
I’m now a full-time traveler and writer. I also write Featured Substack Publication Simple and Straightforward.
The Capsule Pantry was born both from my wine bar’s kitchen (I couldn’t afford to waste anything!) and living on the road. Moving home every few weeks or months means I can’t buy a huge number of ingredients but I still want to cook incredible food, even in poorly-equipped Airbnbs.
And if there’s anything that will make you a better, more flexible cook, it’s cooking in an Airbnb kitchen with few ingredients.
I’ll teach you how to do this in the comfort of your own home.
Believe me, your wallet — and the planet — are going to love you for this.
