It looks beautiful. I also enjoyed the Judith Jones post you did because that was the very recipe for potatoes that I wanted to make again. I saw it when I use perusing her new book in a book store. I did not buy the book but thought I remembered the recipe and attempted it when I got home. It was a failure. Now I can make it the right way. Thanks Val.
