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

Product Information

Ik kook graag maar het moet makkelijk zijn, snel én met veel groenten. Ik heb dan ook zelf al de geneugten van alles in één pan in de oven ontdekt (rijst onderaan, groenten erop en vleesvervanger bovenaan). Maar dit boek tilt dat alles naar een veel hoger niveau. Hierin staan recepten die niet alleen lekker zijn maar er ook goed uitzien én die je aan bezoek kan voorschotelen, zonder schaamrood op je wangen (wat met mijn uitvindingen niet echt haalbaar is). Ik had als fantasievolle restjeskok al het één en ander samen gegooid maar in De groene bakplaat kwam ik geweldige combinaties tegen waar ik zelf nooit op zou komen. En Rukmini bakt dingen in de oven waar ik nog nooit aan gedacht had, zoals avocado en eieren. 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). I shouldn’t have worried. The recipe turned out perfectly. The butternut and bulgur wheat was tender, aubergine deliciously soft and the halloumi still delightfully squeaky. I should’ve realised really, this busy midweek evening was the perfect road test for Rukmini’s cookbook, and I’m pleased to report it passed with flying colours. It now has a place on my ‘tier one cookbook shelf’. And that’s no mean feat. Pantry Pasta Bake: Crispy Red Bell Pepper & Cannellini Beans with Gorgonzola - I liked it, my gf not so much. Would recommend cutting up the tomatoes a little smaller and I used too many olives (more than the actual recipe called for) 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.

These recipes aren't as one-dish as I'd hope, because often they are just a side dish, and you need to add a carb or another whole thing with many of the lighter salads. Perfect for: Loyal fans of Rukmini already familiar with her uncomplicated, one-tin cooking style. Amateur and experienced bakers on the search for a fresh set of recipes. I'm very into this book on many levels, but mostly because it is such an easy, fun and cheap way to eat more vegetables. Which we all need to do, for reasons of health and environment. I love to cook as many friends and family will attest. I also like to read cookbooks. I rarely cook *from* them; the contents just marinate away in my head and eventually form themselves into dishes all of their own accord.I use a roasting tin that's roughly 20 x 30cm (8 x 12"), which comfortably manages 200-300g of couscous.

Het boek bestaat uit 2 grote delen en 1 klein deel. Het eerste deel zijn vegan recepten, (het kleine) deel twee bevat schema’s met combinaties die je zelf kan gaan samenstellen en deel 3 draait om vegetarische recepten. Deel 1 en 3 zijn telkens onderverdeeld in snelle (30 minuten), iets meer tijd (45 minuten) en alle tijd (een uur of langer) recepten.i’m not someone who needs the food i make to be pretty. i’m just me—flinging ingredients into chipped bowls in my tiny kitchen and hoping it all tastes good. i can appreciate the pretty food of others in books and on internet, and i understand that visually appealing food sells more cookbooks than ‘real-life’ food made by people like me without fancy cameras, food stylists, a tableware budget, or even adequate lighting. I liked this book and its recipes so much that I also bought the other books in the series. There are some similar meals, but overall I really like this set of books. this is not a monthly project, but a book i will dip into periodically, sharing my successes and failures as they occur. There are some good ideas in here, but also some really weird and off-putting flavour combinations, especially if like me you hate licorice as there's a lot of licorice flavours in this book (fennel, chicory, celeriac etc). Also radishes and cauliflower, both of which I find unpleasant. I found this author has very different tastebuds to me. I've never been alarmed by so many recipes in any other cookbook. The one with chicory, radish and orange sounds like my nightmare. And too much hot avocado! Yet, there is genuine inspiration in some of the tarts especially. I bought because I now have a vegan in the family, and because I made a new year's resolution to try one new recipe a week to get out of my own cooking rut, but this book has earned its keep already.
