This crowd-pleasing bread sauce recipe by Nigella Lawson is an easy extra for Christmas Day and is just as good served cold with leftovers. The recipe appears in Nigella's book Feast, published by Chatto & Windus.
Do not throw away your old bread! Soaking it in a garlicky mixture of red wine vinegar, olive oil and tomato juices will bring it back to life Mediterranean-style for this classic salad.
A bread loaf is packed with sweet roasted vegetables, mozzarella and fresh basil to make a delicious addition to a picnic, or serve in slices at home with crisp croutons for contrast.
