Need something extra for the table at Christmas dinner? Bring along Verena’s potato salad from Ottolenghi COMFORT.

This is an oil/broth-based version, more prevalent in the southern parts of Germany, specifically Swabia and Bavaria. It’s less heavy and claggy than the mayo variety and gets its creaminess from the starch released by the potatoes as they sit for a couple of hours in the warm broth. We’ve strayed from tradition and added some pancetta (because, why not . . . ) and a welcome freshness from some chopped cucumber.

"A lush, thrilling and intoxicating reading experience"

We loved hearing Kiran Dass review The Silver Book for RNZ 📚

Perfect summer reading for lovers of art and cinema, The Silver Book by Olivia Laing is a fictional account of real things, and an investigation into the difficult relationship between artifice and truth, illusion and reality, love and power.
