"Whether you're short of time or just prefer to keep things simple, From the Oven to the Table shows how the oven can do much of the work that goes into making a great meal. Diana Henry's favorite way to cook is to throw ingredients into a dish or roasting pan, slide them into the oven, and let the heat behind that closed door transform them into golden, burnished meals. Most of the easy-going recipes in this wonderfully varied collection are cooked in one dish; some are ideas for simple accompaniments that can be cooked on another shelf at the same time. From quick after-work suppers to feasts for friends, the dishes are vibrant and modern, and focus on grains, pulses, and vegetables as much as meat and fish."--Page [2] of cover.
