    Rosie 22 - I saw Anna make this recipe on tv. Add the potatoes to the dressing. Then she sort of made a "shell" out of the leeks, capsicum and spinach (all arranged decoratively on the bottom and sides of pan). She then added the potato salad and then covered with more leeks, capsicum and spinach - so the potato salad was sort of encased. She then folded over the glad wrap, placed a smaller pan on top and weighted it with a can and left it in the fridge over night.

    I'm making this one this year two, it looks very festive :)

    Sorry I don't understand the recipe. Step 5 says make the dressing and step 6 stir in the potatoes which then go into the terrine. Step 11 says 'serve with dressing' - but isn't this already in the terrine? Can those of you who've made it please help.

    I have made this terrine 3 years in a row and it is beautiful - key is not too much dill and can use baby spinach. Also the paul newman homemade aioli is delightful!

    I made this and it looked great but I was disappointed with the taste. The spinach was far too over powering.

    This recipe inspired me to create something similar using White Sweet Potatoes. It has been a hit every time I have served it up. Looks colourful & is low GI, low in fat & high in taste.

    This was the talk of Christmas I made this and the Potato Caramalized Leeks for a pre-Christmas Dinner party for 10 persons they were both fun to cook. They both look stunning and taste divine. Thank you Anne, for making it all look so easy on your television shows.

    we tried this last year and it is fantastic. It looks brilliant and tastes great. It can be prepared ahead of time and then just whipped out of the fridge. Well worth making.
