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.

What's in your pantry? is part of a resort-wide initiative to bring online programming to past and potential guests called #BetterTogether and includes art and crafts for kids, cooking lessons, hotel-style bed making and more.

Velas Resorts feature six luxury properties in Mexico: Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, Velas Vallarta, Casa Velas, Grand Velas Riviera Maya, Grand Velas Los Cabos and Mar del Cabo in Los Cabos.
