Melissa Clark brings her home cook expertise and no-fuss approach to the world of one-pan cooking. With most of the recipes being made in under one hour, the streamlined steps ensure you are in and out of the kitchen without dirtying a multitude of pans or spending more time than you need to on dinner.

Expect to find a bevy of sheet-pan suppers, skillet dinners, Instant Pot® pinch hitters, comforting casseroles that you can assemble right in the baking dish, crowd-pleasing one-pot pasta meals, vegetable-forward mains, and dozens of tips for turning a vegetarian or meat-based recipe vegan. And since no dinner is complete without dessert, you'll find a chapter of one-bowl cakes, too—from an Easy Chocolate Fudge Torte to a Ricotta-Olive Oil Pound Cake.
