so, when i buy a cookbook because the pictures are so pretty that it doesn’t even matter that there’s no delicious meat in the recipes, i’ve already resigned myself to the fact that what comes out of my oven will not look like this:

Remove the tin from the oven – the veg should be charred all over and very soft when prodded. Rescue the garlic, and leave the rest of the veg to sit while you whisk the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and another teaspoon of sea salt together with the squeezed-out and mashed roasted garlic. Using a knife and fork, remove the inedible tops and stems, then roughly tear the softened vegetables apart. Give the coconut milk a good stir, then pour it over the beetroot and mix well. Return the roasting tin to the oven for 10 minutes. Tip the whole aubergines, red peppers, vine tomatoes, onion, thyme, garlic, olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt into a large roasting tin, then use your hands to coat everything really well in the oil and salt. So it’s almost unheard of for a cookbook (two by this author) radically to change the way I cook. But this and its sister book have done just that and for the better with less food waste, less energy and a wider range of foods getting eaten by Other Half.

The tomato, olives and aubergine was very good. Nothing I haven’t made before on the hon, but in the oven it’s much richer. I always adapt recipes a bit; adding some ingredients and removing others. They’re good for inspiration. Pantry Pasta Bake: Crispy Red Bell Pepper & Cannellini Beans with Gorgonzola - I liked it, my gf not so much. Would recommend cutting up the tomatoes a little smaller and I used too many olives (more than the actual recipe called for) Meanwhile, mix the oil with the tamarind paste and sugar. Once the vegetables are cooked, toss with the dressing, then scatter over the peanuts, fresh coriander and the chaat masala and/or mango powder, if using. Serve with the yogurt, piled into flatbreads or naan.

Tip the gnocchi into a roasting tin along with everything except the ricotta. Mix well – make sure you’ve used a tin big enough for everything to fit in one layer. Transfer to the oven and cook for 30 minutes, until the gnocchi is crisp and golden.
