The Green Roasting Tin: Vegan and Vegetarian One Dish Dinners (Rukmini’s Roasting Tin)

Product Information

These are simple recipes explained clearly, and we think this collection would be particularly well-loved by families that rely on a rotating weekly menu. miso aubergines with tofu, sesame and chilli; and crispy tamarind sprouts with peanuts and shallots. The Green Roasting Tin is the vegetarian and vegan follow-up to her debut, The Roasting Tin, created for time-poor home cooks. She is a die-hard Francophile – speaking French helps tremendously – but put her anywhere and she is happy.

It does show a lack of awareness of veganism and vegetarianism and shows this book is written by someone wanting to cash in rather than understanding it’s alleged audiences. Eaten piping hot and straight from the pan we loved the savoury Mauritian crêpes served with satini cotomili, a zesty cilantro chutney, which were so addictive and easy to make that we ate three batches in the space of a week, while a warming bowl of plantain and egg-plant stew was doable for a Sunday afternoon and completely delicious. Although some of the dishes are a little lacking when it comes to complexity of flavour, it’s because, well, they aren’t complex to make, and they certainly still amount to more than the sum of their parts. For my fourth dish, I tried out a recipe from the vegetarian section – cannellini bean falafel with potato wedges, spinach and pomegranate. Sprinkle the potatoes and vegetables with the coriander and serve warm or at room temperature, with the dressing alongside.

In the book, you'll find warm Indonesian gado gado potato salad that is pure assembly, drizzled with a quick peanut sauce; an earthy leek and puy lentil gratin with a crisp, cheesy topping; and scored aubergines slathered in miso. Expect a familiar, humorous tone across helpful notes and inspiring pairings aplenty (tahini and Marmite just works). Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed, dollop on the ricotta and scatter with the parsley before serving hot. 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. No one cuisine is focused upon and there are enough great combos in here to keep you going for a few months.

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).

But if you’ve been around the (Violife) block a few times, and are confident in your substitution skills, you’ll be able to make some very tasty plates indeed. What really annoys me is that this book is really a vegetarian book with the vegan-friendly recipes put at the front. Pretty sure I will continue to use this book but not sure it will become one of the 'loved' cookbooks on my shelf.
