The Roasting Tin: Simple One Dish Dinners (Rukmini’s Roasting Tin)

Product Information

Has some minor issues as a self-published cookbook, but there are some good recipes in here for vegetarians or flexitarians who are looking to mix things up a bit. Rukmini left the law to retrain as a chef, working for Tom Kitchin at 'The Kitchin' in Edinburgh before moving to London to do what she loves best - food styling, recipe writing and development. I love the way Rukmini encourages you to experiment with different combinations with the clever infographics at the start of each chapter, which gives confidence to even the most recipe-bound cook like me. The perfect gift for any baker, our limited edition The Sweet Roasting Tin gift set includes a copy of the book and a stylish yet practical baking tin from the iconic enamelware brand, Falcon. What really annoys me is that this book is really a vegetarian book with the vegan-friendly recipes put at the front.

Almost all the recipes have a colour photo as well which makes it much more likely that I will choose to try it.The butternut and bulgur wheat was tender, aubergine deliciously soft and the halloumi still delightfully squeaky. This way it makes around five portions, which suits us as we’re happy to eat leftovers several days in a row.

But this and its sister book have done just that and for the better with less food waste, less energy and a wider range of foods getting eaten by Other Half.

The Roasting Tin Around the World’ was named in The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the Daily Mail’s Best Cookbooks of 2020, with ‘The Green Roasting Tin’ listed as a The Sunday Times Bestseller of the Year in 2019.

ON A RELATED NOTE: if anyone has intel about whether cherry tomatoes have suddenly gone extinct, i would be interested in hearing it. I’d perhaps let the author get away with ‘plant based’, but since the author is a carnist it is clear she does not really understand veganism and really, I see the positioning of this book as trying to jump on the ‘vegan’ bandwagon without putting the effort in and seeing ‘vegan and vegetarian’ as separate but ‘two sides of the same coin’.

Nervous but undeterred, I tried a second recipe, "Chickpea, Halloumi and Red Onion Salad with Coriander and Giant Couscous". Each chapter also includes a helpful infographic for how to build you own roasting tin dinner using whatever is in your fridge tonight.

We talk comfort food, family cooking memories and why Rukmini is obsessed with the concept of one-tin cooking.

Dit kookboek is eenvoudig en gebruiksvriendelijk en geeft enorm veel goesting om te eten én te koken. Ze geeft ook tips die ik nog nergens las zoals het steeltje van tomaten op de rijst leggen als smaakmaker tijdens het bakken (niet om op te eten).
