There are pages dedicated to stuffed parathas, and others to chaat, with instructions on how best to tackle a chaat station should you be fortunate enough to attend an Indian wedding with one in place. Her latest book, The Sweet Roasting Tin, focuses on easy, accessible and flavour packed one-tin baking.

Iyer grew up eating similar things to any other child of the Eighties in the UK: “pasta, chicken nuggets, the usual trashy food that people would eat then,” she rattles off.

Having grown up in a time when travel was restricted to local holidays, she has spent her adult life fulfilling a desire to see the world. 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. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Now, Iyer has written India Express, From Kolkata to Chennai, which is filled with 75 vegan, vegetarian and fish dishes. India Express is a substantial book packed with great ideas for quick-to-prepare dishes with some punchy flavours that are not overly spicy.

But there was also rice and vegetable curries – some readers may be surprised, upon reading India Express, to discover that the Iyer family “cook with only the barest pinch of chilli”.In this new release for 2022, Rukmini introduces 75 gorgeous South Indian and Bengali inspired recipes that are quick and easy to make at home. Keeping with her ethos of 'minimum effort, maximum flavour', these dishes are vibrant, achievable and moreish. This collection follows Iyer's wildly successful roasting tin series, rightly considered cookbooks for our times. Her books include: 'The Roasting Tin; 'The Green Roasting Tin', 'The Quick Roasting Tin', 'The Roasting Tin Around the World', 'The Green Barbecue', and her latest title 'The Sweet Roasting Tin'.

They’ve transformed the cookery space in the UK, leading the one-tin, one-pot and one-pan revolution, and remain firm favourites among fans of maximum-flavour, minimum-hassle cooking. There are six books in that collection ranging from one on vegan and vegetarian dishes, another on barbeque and one on desserts. This is another fabulous book by Rukmini - bought after watching her wonderful talk at the Hay Festival.

There are few households without one or more of the books in the series, which consists of The Roasting Tin, The Green Roasting Tin, The Quick Roasting Tin, The Roasting Tin Around the World, and The Sweet Roasting Tin.When I said I wanted to scan some of the originals for the book, she was very much like, ‘These are the only letters I have’. This was so easy to prepare that I was slightly concerned about how much curry flavour there would be. There are at least twenty one-tin recipes in India Express, as well as many more recipes that will be ready in thirty minutes or less.

One of them, from my grandad, must have been written when I was little; he was like, ‘Thank you for sending pictures of baby Rukmini. There are plenty of punchy flavours here and the beauty of this kind of cooking is that it requires so little preparation. There are plenty of recipes to occupy the weekend – making puris, methu vada (fried lentil doughnuts) or homemade paneer. Here to show you that you can still indulge in bakes, puddings and sweet treats, this collection of lighter recipes is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth.THE SWEET ROASTING TIN One tin cakes, bakes and cookies, with options for gluten-free, diabetic and vegan bakers. Alongside family news they would include recipes, comforting normalities from home that have become the most precious of heirlooms. Inspired by a train journey between her parents' home towns of Kolkata and Chennai, India Express is a collection of 75 south Indian and Bengali recipes, and Rukmini Iyer's seventh book.
