Whether you’re an accomplished cook, just spreading your culinary wings or hoping to reignite your inspiration in the kitchen, we all need a repertoire of hassle-free dishes for when life is demanding. Forget juggling a hob full of bubbling pots and a daunting mountain of washing-up - throw a handful of quality, seasonal ingredients into a roasting tray and voila! With a little preparation and store-cupboard seasoning to lift the flavours of your ingredients, you can rustle up wholesome meals without having to slave over a hot stove for hours.
In chef and food writer Rosie Sykes’ new book, Roasting Pan Suppers: Deliciously Simple All-in-one Meals (Pavilion, £14.99), you’ll find plenty of nutritious and affordable tray-bake recipes, ideal for when time is of the essence and energy is waning. We warmly welcome her vibrant oven-baked risotto, which eliminates ladling and stirring, and the celebration of autumnal flavours in her baked vegetables with gnocchi. Yes please to tasty, easy dinners and less frazzle in the kitchen!
