Day 210: sweet comfort

A wonderfully comforting side to a fabulous, and much needed, replenishing New Year's Day Meal: Day 210 is Nigella’s Potato, Parsnip and Porcini Gratin.

Nigella’s Potato, Parsnip and Porcini Gratin

Coins of earthy potato and sweet, nutty parsnip flavoured with the woodsy umaminess of dried ceps and the light licorice scent of star anise; all baked with luscious ashings of full-fat milk and double cream until golden, bubbling and tender.

The recipe for this one can be found on p64 of Nigella Christmas and on nigella.com (link below).
