Rukmini Iyer's The Green Roasting Tin has become a favorite in queer women's kitchens, recognized for its indulgent yet practical vegetarian and vegan recipes. The book emphasizes quick, oven-cooked meals that fit into busy lives, featuring simple yet flavorful dishes like roasted tomato orzo bake. Its appeal extends beyond mere functionality; the extravagant ingredients and focus on pleasure resonate deeply within queer culture. Many associate it with community and connection, as the book fosters shared meals among friends and partners. It embodies an inclusive cooking experience, blending convenience with taste and joy.
"The joy of this book is that its simplest offerings, such as the all-in-one roasted tomato and bay orzo bake or the crispy kale and bulgur wheat salad, take half an hour, most of which is baking time, when you can be doing something else."
