We only recommend things we love. If you buy something through our site, we might earn a commission.
We taste a lot of food here at Sunset, all in the line of duty. Whether itâs testing recipes, trying out the latest gluten-free this or keto that or alternative nut milk, or just, you know, eating lunch at our desks (at home, obviously), thereâs never a dull taste bud. Weâve also been cooking more than ever before. While we love a laboriously lovely kitchen project that takes hours and hours (name check: sourdough), fast flavor and satisfaction are often the name of the game. So when we vetted, tasted, and selected this yearâs winners of the Pantry Awards, itâs no wonder that sauces, pastas, condiments, and snacks figured so heavily in the final selection. We want comfort. We want convenience. And, yes, we want major flavor. So, without further ado, here are the winners of the 2021 Sunset Pantry Awards.Â
