Hey there!
We’re Jasmine & Peter.
Welcome to Cozy Peter Pantry — where simple ingredients turn into comfort food you’ll actually
make again. This blog is our shared notebook of weeknight wins, slow Sunday favorites, and “pantry-to-table”
recipes built for real life.
Expect clear steps, cozy flavors, and smart shortcuts that never taste like shortcuts.
Our story
Cozy Peter Pantry began the way a lot of good meals do: with a nearly-empty fridge, a well-loved pantry shelf,
and the question “What can we make that feels comforting?”
We started testing small changes — a different simmer time, a better spice order, one extra squeeze of citrus —
and writing down the versions that made us pause mid-bite and say, “Okay, that’s the one.”
Over time, friends asked for those recipes. Then friends-of-friends did too. This site is our way of sharing
what we’ve learned: how to cook cozy food without needing a long shopping list or a free afternoon.

Fun facts
- Our “test kitchen” is our real kitchen — so recipes are built for real timing and real dishes.
- We keep a running list called “Next time” where tiny tweaks become the final version.
- If a recipe can be prepped ahead, we’ll always include the shortcut.
- We’re happiest when the pantry is stocked and the oven is already warm.
FAQs
How did Cozy Peter Pantry start?
It started as our shared “pantry challenge” — making cozy meals from what we already had, then writing down the
versions we’d genuinely repeat. The blog grew from there.
