First published in the UK as The Roasting Tin, London-based food stylist Iyer's latest cookbook offers fresh takes on sheet-pan suppers and other one-dish meals. Each chapter begins with an illustrated chart from which readers can mix and match ingredients to create their own recipe. The colorful dishes that follow—including oven-roasted coq au vin, baked egg pasta Florentine, and spiced pears with almond-chocolate creme fraiche—will serve between two to eight people and are generally easy to prepare. A few suffer from vague instructions; it's up to readers to determine how to clean sardines or select the right-sized "roasting pan or large baking dish" called for in many recipes.
VERDICT Bold visuals and wide-ranging recipes are highlights of this low-prep, low-cleanup title.
