A one-pan oven dish remains my favorite. Also Jamie Oliver is one of my ❤. Comforting rosy rice is a fabulous recipe which I adapted to 2p, and to docVsstyle ( more vegetables). For 2p, wash 700 grams of those pointed sweet bell peppers. Halve them and remove the seeds. Chop. Slice 1 red onion. … More Simple one- pan wonders by Jamie Oliver

All-in-one dishes are the new hype, but are already since decades my favorites. Donna Hay’s book, One Pan Perfect, is an incredible source of inspiration.

Brush the mixture … More All in one oven dishes with mainly vegetables are my absolute favorites
My weekly chat with Mirco, the fishmonger, is often related to ‘what I will prepare with the fish I ordered’. This week he was really surprised I was going to prepare ray in the oven. He tried to convince me to prepare a typical pasta/soup (minestra) where you boil the ray wings in the stock … More A little conflict with the fishmonger
