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

Got the whole collection Of these The Roasting Tin cookery books. Almost made the mistake of purchasing a copy in a very well known book shop on the high street. But checked out Amazon first. Love the recipes , less washing up and amazing flavours I didn’t know existed!!! Get one and you’ll be hooked.

I can’t get enough of these books! Having lived on ready meals and snack foods for the best part of 40 years, lockdown drove me to trying to cook and reduce shopping trips. This book is revolutionary to those of us reluctant chefs. HEALTHY- On the wrong side of 50 I needed to address my diet to err on the much healthier side. This book enables me to eat healthy fresh food without having ANY culinary knowledge or stress. TASTY - I’m not a fan of spicy but like tasty and this book really hits the bells on the yummy scale. All so new and different - getting away from boring tasteless usuals. Anyone I’ve mackled one of these dishes up for has always been proper impressed. EASY - you literally just chop up the stuff she tells you and wack it on the oven! Walk the dog and it’s ready when you get home. All the ingredients are available at the supermarket and most are cupboard stocked. I can even bake PUDDINGS with this book! Having never successfully achieved anything edible in the baking department, these recipes work perfectly every single time! And all with a yummy twist (baileys in the coffee cake, cardamon in the chocolate puddings, cake layers in the apple crumble for just a few) I live alone so usually half the quantities which is enough for dinner and tea. I’ve bought all the books (except the world one as I’m not keen on spicy) and bought several for friends who have all been completely converted. Christmas presents sorted! Thank you Ms Rukmini for completely changing my life around for the better 😊

Good, quick food recipes, easy to use.

Excellent, very happy with it. Thank you.

I literally have hundreds of cookbooks; I’m always after recipes which will taste good, with fresh, easy to find ingredients that don’t take a lot of work. With three kids and lots of homework and after-school clubs, I simply have very little time but I’m determined to feed them real food, not processed things. This is the book I’ve been waiting for! The recipes are so easy, the ingredient lists are not long or complicated. You chop a few things, throw them in the oven and most of the recipes require very little watching, stirring or faffing with. Just set the timer and then go and do something else. Everything I’ve made has been really delicious! Prep time is minimal and clean-up is simple, only one pan and a chopping board and knife! This is my favourite cookbook....and you should see how many I have! It also gives guidelines for creating your own one-pan dinners and there are lists of cooking times for various ingredients. Sometimes I think the recipes don’t look particularly exciting, but when you taste them you get a surprise!

Love love love this book. I bought it for my sister for Christmas and she loved it so much she bought it for my birthday a month later! The simple concept is that all the recipes can be cooked in a roasting tin in the oven (occasionally you need something extra like a pan for rice, but that's about it). Most recipes you just stick it in and leave it to "do its thing", but occasionally you need to add things at later stages. This sort of cooking is great for a stay-at-home mum like me. I can prep things in the afternoon and then leave it to cook. I've tried quite a few of the recipes, savoury and sweet, and they've all been delicious. The cover recipe of chicken, avocado, pomegranate and rice is amazing. The puddings are all quite simple and rustic - tarts, crumble, cobbler - not exactly show-stoppers, but good nonetheless. Each chapter also has info on cooking times for various ingredients, and an infographic to help you design your own variations on the meals. Roasting tin cooking could become a way of life! I also thought the portion sizes were good for a normal hungry adult. Unsurprisingly, as the author is a food stylist, the pictures are beautiful, and this helps inspire you to do the recipes. I really recommend this highly!

I bought this book after another one by the same author (The Green Roasting Tin). I ordered this one as my first book returned out to be very good, and I wanted some meat recipes too. So far I’ve tried three recipes out of this one. All turned out great: guidelines are clear, ingredients are easy to get, preparation does not take long, and the dishes taste great. Contrary to what an earlier review says, the recipes I made were all full meals, with sides (roast sweet potato, or rice) included. Though other recipes may not include the side dishes, but that is fine with me. Highly recommended!

My wife bought me a copy of this for my birthday as a random choice. Turns out she hit on an awesome gift. This book is heavy on usable recipes that demand to be made. The simple premise of everything in a pan and throw it in the oven is perfect for busy families. Some of the options take as little as 5 minutes prep followed by 30 minutes in the oven. There's lots of options here, but our favourites in a household of veggies are; Baked gnocci (crispy and chewy) and many of the pulses recipes. Flavours on most of the recipes we've tried are punchy but not overpowering. Clean up is minimal too, with only one pan to go at. Since getting this book, we've now got the "Green" tin and "Quick" tin books too. Some great variations but the same principles. Super recommended, and super lazy.

A purchase after staying with a friend. I love simple dishes, this book has a lot & they’re tasty too

This was recommended by my daughter who lives in England

Plein de bonnes idées et de conseils pratiques sur les combinaisons et les durées de cuisson de plats uniques et complets - viande, végé... tout y est!

I've cooked SO MANY recipes from this book and they are almost all amazing. So quick and easy to prep and only one dish to wash up. It's also helping me eat more vegetables. If you have an oven and don't enjoy cooking, this is an essential cookbook which will make you love cooking.

Arrived with damage to front cover.
