About us

Matthew and Alexa Simpson

We are a Husband and Wife team with an appreciation for home-cooked, whole sustainable food. While both of us lead busy lives as we build our careers in New York, we strive to cook for ourselves and make delicious, healthy meals. Sustainable Pantry is a showcase of our approach to food, from the market to the plate.

Alexa grew up cooking and learned at an early age that good food comes from fresh ingredients. She has worked in the kitchen of some of New York’s finest restaurants, spent time as a chef at a vineyard in France, and has stocked healthy meals in the fridges of busy New York families.

Matthew learned to hold a knife in Neuroscience class and has been eager to chop things ever since. More recently, he began baking home-made artisinal bread, and after a few early successes, he is now officially hooked.

We hope our blog inspires you to get into the kitchen and make something you can be proud of. Feel free to share any comments, questions, recipes and successes you might have.
