#RecipeOfTheDay offers a blissful combination of the savoury, subtly sweet and the tangily sharp: it’s Pappardelle with Butternut and Blue Cheese! If you’re unfortunate enough not to like blue cheese, I’d say feta or ricotta salata would be fitting substitutes. www.nigella.com/recipes/papp...

Pappardelle With Butternut and Blue Cheese
This is one of those welcoming, big-bowl suppers, perfect for feeding friends cosily. Soft, oniony cubes of squash are answered by the salty, sharp and pungent cheese; a little sage breathes its neces...

This week’s Guest Recipe from the #CookbookCorner archive is the Apples In Šlafor (which rather charmingly translates as in Dressing Gowns) from 'The Balkan Kitchen: Recipes and Stories from the Heart of the Balkans' by Irina Janakievska! www.nigella.com/recipes/gues...

I think I might be tempted to use freshly squeezed orange juice with a teaspoon of maple syrup in it

This ancient Greek figure from the 2,500 year-old Douris Cup looks uncannily like someone working on a laptop! 😲 💻 He’s actually writing with a stylus on a hinged wax writing tablet! The technology has changed, the posture has not! 😂 Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me
My photo shows detail from an ancient Greek red-figure kylix (drinking cup) of a young man shown in profile seated on a stool facing right. He wears a knee length cloak (himation) over his left shoulder, which is shown in folds around his waist and upper legs. His right shoulder, chest, and arms are bare. His dark hair is short, and he wears a band around his head. He is looking down at an open rectangular wax writing tablet which he is supporting in his left hand above his lap. In his right hand he holds a metal stylus pen poised over the writing tablet. The wooden writing tablet is hinged like a book and, from this angle, resembles a modern laptop. The figure is part of a scene depicting school lessons in ancient Athens, painted by Douris around 480 BC. On display at the Altes Museum in Berlin.

Well, really you can use any herb you like. If you don’t like dill, I presume you don’t like coriander (though I may be wrong) which is also good here, so maybe some finely chopped chives?
