One-dish cooking has become the ultimate cook’s hack in recent years. Thanks in no small part to the hugely popular Roasting Tin series, kitchens up and down the country are doing away with over-complicated dishes that demand hours in the kitchen in favour of fresh, flavourful recipes assembled in a single trusty pot, pan or tin and left in the oven or on the stove to do its thing. Demanding minimal fuss, delivering maximum results and requiring next to no washing up, they have the power to completely transform the way we cook. Discover our pick of one-dish cookbooks here.
One Pot, One Portion
With her debut cookbook, Eleanor Wilkinson shows that cooking for yourself is the ultimate act of self-care, providing recipes for people who love food but don’t want to choose between eating leftovers for days or buying expensive ready meals and takeaways. What’s more, one-pot cooking makes cooking for yourself even easier, saving you time and effort and without leaving a sink full of washing up. And there are further wins: the recipes all give potential variations and useful ingredient swaps and substitutions, so that you can reduce food waste and make your ingredients – and your money – go further.
Over 100 simple one-dish recipes.
Make your life easier without any compromise on flavour.
Chapters include chicken, pasta, batch cooking and more.
One
Having transformed the way we cook with books like 15 Minute Meals and 5 Ingredients, Jamie now turns his attention to the ever-popular one-pan method, applying the same principles of ease, accessibility, and convenience to this naturally fuss-free style of cooking. One presents simple, budget-friendly solutions to everyday cooking conundrums with over 100 recipes, all designed to be cooked in one pot, pan, or tray. To make things even more straightforward, each recipe involves no more than eight ingredients, meaning you’ll be able to whip up flavoursome meals without an exhaustingly long shopping list.
With recipes for batch cooking, easy dessert ideas, and a whole chapter dedicated to frying pan pasta, One is guaranteed to liven up your recipe repertoire, minimise time spent in the kitchen, and cut down on your washing up too.
