What is Empty Pantry?

Empty Pantry is a cost-effective, waste-reducing resource to offer meal idea inspiration. We have a large database of recipes to suit your empty pantry needs.

Our mission is to provide a huge database of recipes that are affordable, nutritionally-balanced, easy to prepare and fun to eat! We work with a variety of up-and-coming chefs to make easy recipes with some possibly bizarre food combinations. We believe using Empty Pantry can help reduce food waste and encourage healthier eating with its approachable recipe instructions. There's really nothing better than a home-cooked meal made with love and some straggler ingredients!

We are underway with a development for you to subscribe to our premium version of Empty Pantry for cooking videos, meal-planning tips for busy weeks and more. The premium version will allow you to search for recipes based on your dietary needs like vegetarian, vegan, low-sugar, kosher and more. Each subscription will pay for a low-income family to also have the premium version of Empty Pantry and a weekly produce delivery. Everyone deserves a healthy home-cooked meal!
