It is possible to make a wonderful meal by throwing ingredients into a dish or roasting tin, sliding them in the oven, and letting the heat behind that closed door go to work. From quick after-work suppers to feasts for friends, James Beard Award-winner Diana Henry presents vibrant, modern dishes that make the most of your oven. Included here are Chicken Thighs with Miso, Sweet Potatoes & Spring Onions, Roast Indian-Spiced Vegetables with Lime-Coriander Butter, and Roast Stone Fruit with Almond and Orange Flower Crumbs.
