These hotel chefs will customize a recipe to whatever's in your pantry

Velas Resorts
Velas Resorts chefs will create recipes based on what's in your pantry.

Even the best home chefs might be starting to lose their creativity. And with limited trips to the grocery store it can be tricky to create anything that feels fresh.

But the chefs of Velas Hotels are on hand to help.

First, people can go to the What's In Your Pantry? page on VelasMagazine.com. Next, submit a list or a picture of the ingredients that are currently in your kitchen. Or you can DM the same information on Instagram.

One of the resort's 25 world-class chefs will create at least one recipe from the ingredients shared and the recipe will be published on VelasMagazine.com.

From a simple tuna and avocado open-faced sandwich to creamy lemon shrimp over asparagus or Mexican tortas and spaghetti carbonara, the site is already filled with nearly 100 recipes from guests who are looking for inspiration.
