From the Oven to the Table by Diana Henry

This cookbook, which came out just about a month ago, is the November cookbook of the month in the Food 52 cookbook club.  Henry is a well loved cook within this group, and while this book does seem to have a fair amount of failures to it's credit within the group's home cooks, everything that we have made out of it has been great.
The overarching concept of the book is that you add the ingredients into an ovenproof pot and pop it in the oven.  When it comes out, you have a meal.
There are dozens of intriguing recipes in this book, and I will be cooking out of it for some time to come.  There are lots of vegetarian options, some of which could be the center of the meal and others that could be assembled into a meal.  There are some fussy dishes, and some that do not have quite enough instruction (like what sized pot, and whether it should be baked covered or uncovered are sometimes missing).  Read through it first, and then pick a place to start.  Recommended.
