Ergo, a vegetarian cookbook can have recipes suitable for vegans but a vegan cookbook cannot also be a vegetarian one. 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’. It may seem a minor thing but it did annoy me quite a lot.

My review of the first Roasting Tin book is here. When I got the first book, we were living with my parents just before we moved into our house and I was suffering with a knee injury and couldn't run. My overriding memory of this time is how I would put a roasting tin meal in the oven and go for a walk in the park while it cooked. I loved that I could just leave it to it, get some fresh air and enjoy a walk after work. BUT, and this is merely a good-natured gripe—this book WANTS me to fail. it WANTS me to feel the sting of inadequacy resulting from the comparison between my finished product and the book’s. it thumbs its nose at me as it dances around its spacious, well-appointed kitchen. because as lovely as this picture is, it is also a filthy liar. sure, that’s what it maybe looks like after you take it out of the oven, but THEN the recipe instructs you to stir it all up with olive oil and salt and herbs, which makes it look like THIS

The only sad thing about this book, she admits, "is that it hasn't got cakes in it". Maybe next time. She found food styling more attractive than the relentlessness of restaurant cooking though and began assisting on shoots ("Which means a lot of washing up"). Iyer now runs her own - hence why the boot of her car is awash with blenders, gas burners and electric whisks. "It's amazing because you get to work with your hands."

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). Upon first read of the book, everything is presented really well, the photography looks awesome and the recipes seem to make sense. I’ve not seen anything in the vegan section that I thought I’d never cook – so that’s a big plus! The combinations look sensible and everything seems easy to follow (I have seen some criticism of the author in other books for poor proof reading of recipes – this is absolutely critical in cookbooks and something that happens all the time. I hate it when cookbooks have missing steps!) One of my favourite recipes from The Green Roasting Tin is the dal (it might be my favourite recipe of all the Roasting Tin books), but it takes, in total, about an hour and half once you've peeled all of those pesky, but delicious, shallots. Which means I don't cook it quite as much as I should. Some of my other favourites also have long cook times, which isn't always what you want after a long day at work. I knew I was going to love Green. Green is all vegetarian and half vegan. I could eat every single recipe in this book!

Introducing The Green Roasting Tin – this is the kind of cooking I like. Put a whole bunch of healthy veg into a roasting tin, pop into a hot oven and return an hour later to serve dinner. Minimal washing up is an added bonus. This filling gratin, with its crisp feta topping, is perfect comfort food - the dining equivalent of sitting cosily on the sofa under a blanket," says food writer and one-tin dinner expert, Rukmini Iyer. there’s no need for the sabotage, book! i was already at a disadvantage—we were never in competition, i promise you! i couldn’t even find cherry tomatoes on the vine at the one place i had time to shop for dinner-groceries! i live humbly in the shadow of your tiny tomatoes. I have found that the times are a little bit short, perhaps it’s my oven or personal preference? But I’m really pleased to have bought this book
