Introduction
Back in 2006, when I sat down to write my first 4 Ingredients cookbook, my goal was to create for all of you what I wanted for myself: a simple guide to making home-cooked meals for my family. What could be easier than recipes that require only four or fewer ingredients? Im not one to brag (really!), but seven years and five books later, I have to say Ive outdone myself. One Pot, One Bowl is a glorious collection of sweet and savory dishes full of fresh, easy-to-find ingredientsno more than four in each recipethat require only one pot and one bowl. That means less cleanup and more time enjoying these fabulous meals with the friends and family you love.
In this book, full of gorgeous photographs by Stuart Quinn, you will find recipes for casseroles, roasts, soups and stews, pizza, pasta, pies, and desserts. Some of my personal favorites are the Creamy Bacon & Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken, the French Lamb Casserole, the Apple Crumble, and the Baked Rice Pudding. That said, everything in these pages makes my mouth water, and I know yours will, too! It is my intention with this cookbook to help every home chef rediscover the wonders of quick, easy, and delicious home-cooked meals. I truly hope you find some inspiration and a bit of kitchen wisdom within. Happy cooking! Kim

Bacon & Egg Pie
Recipe from Shane Hunia of Coromandel, New Zealand. Serves 4 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed 1/2 white onion, finely diced 4 slices bacon, coarsely chopped 6 large eggs Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a 10-inch quiche dish with parchment paper.
Fit 1 sheet of puff pastry into the dish. Sprinkle with the onion and then the bacon. Crack the eggs into the dish without breaking the yolks, evenly covering the entire surface. Season generously with sea salt and pepper. Top with the second sheet of pastry. Roll the top edges together and, using a fork, seal the edges.
Pierce the top crust 4 times with a fork. Bake for 25 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
Flowerpot Pesto Damper Bread
Traditionally, damper is made of flour, salt, and water kneaded into a thick bread-like mixture and cooked over an open fire in a rustic iron pot. Here is my tasty version, cooked in cute flowerpots! Serves 4 11/2 cups self-rising flour, plus extra for dusting 2 tablespoons butter, diced 2/3 cup milk 3 tablespoons prepared basil pesto Preheat the oven to 375F. In a large bowl, combine the flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the butter and rub into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles fine crumbs.
Stir in the milk and pesto to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and shape the mixture into four equal balls. Flour the insides of four, clean 5-ounce clay flowerpots. Fit one ball of dough into each pot, pressing it down lightly. Bake for 20 minutes, or until risen and lightly golden.
Huevos Rancheros
Serves 6 2 cans (14 ounces each) diced tomatoes with onions and garlic 2 red bell peppers, cut into strips 2 fresh red chiles, seeded and chopped 6 large eggs In a large nonstick skillet, warm the tomatoes over medium heat.
