MUNICH // AC Milan defender Massimo Oddo will join Bayern Munich on a one-season loan providing he passes a medical. "His experience, his tactical and technical capabilities will help us greatly," coach Jurgen Klinsmann said yesterday. The Italian international's arrival came less than 24 hours after Bayern agreed to release leftback Marcell Jansen to Hamburger SV. Willy Sagnol, the French defender who normally covers the right side for Bayern, will be out for months after surgery on his Achilles' tendon. Philipp Lahm has been playing on the left side both for Bayern and Germany, although he prefers to operate down the right. With Oddo's arrival in Bavaria, Lahm will remain on the left. Bayern will have an option to retain Oddo on a longer contract should he impress, the Bundesliga champions said.

Mia Man’s tips for fermentation
- Start with a simple recipe such as yogurt or sauerkraut
- Keep your hands and kitchen tools clean. Sanitize knives, cutting boards, tongs and storage jars with boiling water before you start.
- Mold is bad: the colour pink is a sign of mold. If yogurt turns pink as it ferments, you need to discard it and start again. For kraut, if you remove the top leaves and see any sign of mold, you should discard the batch.
- Always use clean, closed, airtight lids and containers such as mason jars when fermenting yogurt and kraut. Keep the lid closed to prevent insects and contaminants from getting in.
The chef's advice
Troy Payne, head chef at Abu Dhabi’s newest healthy eatery Sanderson’s in Al Seef Resort & Spa, says singles need to change their mindset about how they approach the supermarket.
“They feel like they can’t buy one cucumber,” he says. “But I can walk into a shop – I feed two people at home – and I’ll walk into a shop and I buy one cucumber, I’ll buy one onion.”
Mr Payne asks for the sticker to be placed directly on each item, rather than face the temptation of filling one of the two-kilogram capacity plastic bags on offer.
The chef also advises singletons not get too hung up on “organic”, particularly high-priced varieties that have been flown in from far-flung locales. Local produce is often grown sustainably, and far cheaper, he says.
