Last week, a new cookbook landed on my desk called Dinner's in the Oven: Simple One-Pan Meals. The recipes are unfussy; the design is bright and approachable; it's shot by David Loftus (one of my favorite photographers) and I loved it almost immediately. I love it for the underlying promise, of course -- who doesn't want to throw a bunch of things on a roasting pan, set the timer and have a glass of wine while dinner cooks? I love it for the "pantry" section which is organized by the elements you need in every dish (sharp, sweet, crunch, etc.) instead of the predictable old list of flours and alternative oils. But mostly I love it because I was consistently surprised by what the author, Rukmini Iyer, decided to place on a sheet pan. A few examples: Uncooked spelt goes right into a mix of chorizo, sweet potato, red onion, and chicken broth for a one-pan dinner (no dishes)...
