India Express: easy & delicious one-tin and one-pan vegan, vegetarian & pescatarian recipes – by the bestselling ‘Roasting Tin’ series author

Product Information

As fans of Iyer’s previous books know, her recipes can be relied on to get dinner on the table with the minimum of fuss and washing up. Her latest book, ‘India Express’, focuses on quick, easy weeknight dinners, inspired by her Bengali and South Indian heritage. I was pleased to find that the recipes are pescatarian in that they are either vegetarian, vegan or fish based. She grew up in Cambridgeshire with the best of three food cultures: Bengali and South Indian food from her parents’ Indian heritage, along with classic eighties' mac and cheese, sponge pudding, and cheese and pineapple on a stick.

Everyone will feed you more than a full meal, be really offended if you don't eat right, then try and feed you more.It’s this combination of West and East, of dinnertimes as equally influenced by Nigella, Delia and Jamie as Madhur Jaffrey and much-loved airmail recipes, that makes India Express a uniquely accessible cookbook.

From flexitarians to families, this book is for anyone who wants to eat easy veg-based meals that fit around their busy lives. From alligator pepper seeds which, in the Yoruba culture, are given to newborn babies to taste a few minutes after birth, to charoli seeds, which are used in traditional Indian sweets eaten during the festival of Holi, and caraway seeds, which were added to medieval love potions, each spice has its own significance in the lives of the people who use it.In 2017, she released her first book, The Roasting Tin: Simple One Dish Dinners; since then, more than a million copies of the resulting series – The Green Roasting Tin, The Roasting Tin Around the World, The Quick Roasting Tin and The Sweet Roasting Tin – have sold, changing dinnertimes around the country as people realised nutritious, healthy and interesting food really was possible to put on the table, often with just 30 minutes' hands-free cooking time. She strongly believes that making time to eat well – for oneself or for family dinners – is an integral part of the day, and as a new mother with limited time but a good appetite, she’s passionate about helping other households cook great, minimum-effort dinners. I’m really excited about trying the rest of the recipes (and especially being able to use up our veg box potatoes on something more exciting than mash) - in the meal plan for next week are the masala frittata, the coconut rice with cashew nuts, the tandoori roasted sweetcorn and the prawn malai curry, and I’ll definitely be making some chai, some cheese stuffed potato cakes and the cheddar, cumin and nigella seed straws. She is a die-hard Francophile – speaking French helps tremendously – but put her anywhere and she is happy.
