Every home cook has a few trusted tools and ingredients they can’t live without. Here, I’m sharing some of the products I rely on to feed my family of four, focusing heavily on quality and true value for money.

Pantry Essentials

Emma Panko Breadcrumbs – I use these for a number of dishes including my meatballs, katsu style chicken and chicken schnitzel. Use what you need and reseal the pack for next time! Looking back at my own Amazon account, I’ve purchased 7kg of these! I switched from buying a meagre 70g box from my supermarket and I’ve worked out that for the same amount that I’m buying here, I’d have to pay over £17 per kg for the supermarket option.
