Other People's Pantries #24
From George (Culinary Travels of a Kitchen Goddess), in Staffordshire, UK:
Originally the pantry wasn’t part of the kitchen plan, but as my culinary adventures continued at such a rapid rate I was eager for more space, hence the extension of the kitchen to give a small pantry area (from where I also do all my writing).
It was a long and fraught event what with cowboy builders and all but eventually we got it done. I don’t know how I managed without it. The downside? Well that’s obvious, I keep filling it up and running out of space, but I guess no matter how big the pantry I’d find a way to fill it up. (Read more here.)
On Saturdays, we peek into Other People's Pantries.
Come on -- show us your pantry.

Thanks Cindy & Paz, I just love my pantry. Have been on holiday (soon to be blogged) and am just about to restock.

I love the small spice tins! Your pantry is lovely.

Sherri they're from The Spice Shop in London, rather expensive but worth it for the look/effect. I got one as a free gift and then couldn't resist getting more and more.

I'd love to able to read all the labels! Looking at your site, I was pleased to see your book list and book shelf.
Lydia, maybe that's the next project -- how do we handle all our cookbooks?

Hi Susan,
Glad you liked seeing the book list and book shelves too. The bookshelves are always changing, making way for new books or ones that are back in favour - there are cookbooks all over my house not just in the kitchen, I so need to sort them all out.

That is a very grand pantry! And I'm also one with the coffee pot in my pantry: somehow it really works just right there!

Hey I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one preparing coffee in the pantry :D
