Something from Nothing is a cookbook built around the idea of cooking from a well-stocked pantry. Recipes rely on shelf-stable ingredients such as oils, grains, canned goods, and condiments, with an emphasis on adaptable methods rather than strict instructions. The approach is intuitive and practical, encouraging home cooks to work with what they already have.
