Photographs

From the kitchen

  • Boil the beetroot in its skin. Peeled beetroot bleeds its colour and most of its flavour into the water

  • Combine the two only just before serving if you want the potato to stay white rather than pink

  • It keeps three days refrigerated and the dressing goes on improving

  • Cold, always. This is the cool corner of a beyaynetu tray
