Easy one-pot dinners for the whole family? This book proves it's possible

Jamie Oliver’s new cookbook is full of easy one-pot dinners for the whole family.

Want a weeknight dinner hack? Try leaning on easy one-pot dinners for the whole family. 

Quick, delicious and with minimal washing up involved, it almost sounds too good to be true. 

Leave it to Jamie Oliver to prove it’s possible. 

While you might already know him as the king of weeknight cooking, Jamie’s new cookbook ONE takes his premise of simple eats to the next level. With each recipe requiring only one pot, pan or tray, it’s the pared-down cooking resource you need to master simple and delicious meals for kids and adults alike.  

About ONE

In ONE, Jamie Oliver takes quick and easy cooking to the next level by using only one pan, pot or tray for each dish. Not only does this make for a streamlined cooking experience, but imagine how much time you’ll also save on the washing up. Just one dish to soak? Yes, please! 

To make things even easier, each recipe requires only eight ingredients. This means super-simple, budget-friendly work-from-home lunches and quick dinners. There are even a few dessert recipes included for those with a sweet tooth. 

With over 100 recipes inside, this book will teach you simple one-pan techniques you never knew were possible. Minimal fuss, maximum results! 

The one-pan premise

By cutting down on the dishes and utensils needed to make each of the dishes in the cookbook, Jamie Oliver has saved us all a lot of time and money. 

The techniques in ONE will teach you so much more than the recipes included, and open your mind to the possibilities of what easy cooking can look like. 

Expect to have your eyes opened to new techniques including

  • Frying pan pasta 
  • Traybakes
  • Batch cooking 

. . . and so much more. 

Meals for one

But what about those times when you don’t want to cook for the whole family?

ONE includes a few simple recipes for solo dinners or work-from-home lunches. Say goodbye to eggs on toast, with dishes like Smoked Salmon Pasta for one – you’ll never look back.

By swapping out shortcut ingredients for otherwise complicated components Jamie makes things a whole lot easier, without sacrificing flavour. Think lasagne sheets instead of fresh pasta – what a brilliant hack!
