From the oven to the table : simple dishes that look after themselves by Diana Henry "Throwing ingredients into a dish or roasting tin and popping them in the oven is Diana Henry's favourite way to cook. This approach requires little effort and leaves the oven to do the work, transforming simple components into golden, burnished, irresistible meals. In this wonderfully varied collection, simple one-pan dishes mean you can just close the oven door, then bring a delicious meal straight to the table. Diana makes full use of everyday ingredients, from chicken, chops and fish fillets to plenty of vegetables, pulses and grains. With ideas such as Chicken Thighs with Miso, Sweet Potatoes & Spring Onions, Roast Tomatoes and White Beans with Caper, Mint & Chilli dressing, and Moroccan Roast Vegetables with Preserved Lemon Yoghurt, From The Oven is packed with giant flavours and recipes that are simplicity itself."
