‘A must-have’ Rachel Roddy 
 
Discover 75 simple, fresh and delicious Indian recipes that take 30 minutes maximum to cook. 
 
From quick snacks and weeknight dinners to simple desserts, Rukmini Iyer has created a collection of South Indian and Bengali-inspired recipes with a modern twist that are as delicious to eat as they are easy to make. 
 
Keeping with her ethos of 'minimum effort, maximum flavour', these dishes are vibrant, achievable and moreish including Crisp-Topped Marinated Sea Bass with Green Chilli, Lime & Coriander, all-in-one Aubergine, Tomato & Nigella Seed Curry, mini-Naan Pizzas with Lime & Coriander Paneer, Cheddar, Cumin & Nigella Seed Cheese Straws and so much more.

'Rukmini's best book yet' Stuart Heritage

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. The first thing I made from it was Chingri Macher Malai, spiced prawns in coconut milk, which took minutes to prep, simmered quietly for just under half an hour, and was perfect on buttered white rice. Semolina pancakes were similarly successful. This collection follows Iyer's wildly successful roasting tin series, rightly considered cookbooks for our times. What was it about them? Accessibility? Minimum fuss/maximum flavour? Layout? Trust in the likable, reassuring person who guided you through? All of the above - which, together with more personal material than her previous work, makes India Express a must-have.

Rachel Roddy, The Guardian 'Best Books of 2022'

I am a huge fan of Rukmini Iyer's Roasting Tin cookery books, but her new one, India Express, is my favourite yet... an absolute joy of a book ... It maintains the ease and simplicity of the tin books but is chattier, more complex and goes off in all sorts of interesting directions. Nothing in it is difficult and everything is really, really nice to eat.

The most delicious things I ate this year were 'chop' from [Rukmini Iyer's] India Express ... The book is a practical and inspiring delight. Iyer brings her trademark clarity and fuss-free instruction to some of the South Indian and Bengali recipes she ate growing up. It's veg-leaning and full of flavour. I have used the book a great deal and am keeping it in the kitchen because this is the kind of food I want to make after Christmas indulgence.

As the postergirl for easy, fuss-free, veg-forward recipes that will seamlessly fit into your busy lifestyle, Rukmini has done it again with The Green Cookbook. A soothing guide in our more-hectic-than-ever lives.

From the author of the bestselling "Roasting Tin" series, which sold over 1.75 million copies in five years and are described by The Guardian as "cookbooks for our times"... You won't need takeaways when you can sort the "ridiculously moreish" miso butter noodles with tomatoes and spring onions in 12 minutes. There are still the one-pot and one-tin recipes that have made Iyer's name, but the "cook once, eat twice" chapter, and family recipes that adults and toddlers can both eat are great additions
