The latest seasonal recipe from Kym Grimshaw of food blog On the Plate celebrates an ingredient that's synonymous with this lovely late-summer, early-autumn cusp: sweet, juicy corn on the cob. Here, Kym has given it a subtle chilli kick and served it up with what is quite possibly the best potato salad I've ever tasted (really!).
