YIKES!! LEEKS!
Who knew?????? I woke up late one morning and just didn't feel like getting out of bed, so I turned on the TV and it was on the Today Show. Jaime Oliver was doing leeks. It looked easy. It was. I've...

Maybe I'm a cheapskate, but it seems an awfully expensive way to add salt to the dish. What do you do with the prosciutto afterwards? I really do intend to try this again.

Actually, I bought a large package of Speck at Costco before Thanksgiving to use for all kinds of appetisers...since we've got it on hand, I used it for the leeks. We're using it in lots of places we...

I plan to serve your leek recipe as a side on Christmas Eve ( when we do our celebration this year). How much in advance do you think I could have them washed & cut - night prior or the morning...

We grow leeks in our garden, very easy to grown, and nice to have something to harvest during the winter. Usually we have savoy cabbage too but some critters ate the seedlings so we don't have any...

OSB, I think they will do fine overnight in a plastic bag or tupperware container. (I guess I've been lucky to get really big ones -- one good sized leek is about 3 inches in diameter, and tightly...

Does anyone have a tried and true Potato & Leek soup recipe? Preferably without much cream & butter. I'm thinking of heading to the grocer today to get some leeks. Thanks!

This is not your typical creamed potato/leek soup... 6 TBLSP. unsalted butter 4 to 5 pounds leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced-about 11 cups- and rinsed thorouglhy 2 garlic cloves, minced...

Hi Endo - Thanks, perhaps I'll substitute the butter with olive oil; plus cut the recipe amt by half (it's just for DH & me). So this recipe doesn't call for the soup to be pureed? And no need to...

This is also very good but does contain fat. However, you can omit the 1/2 cup sour cream. It has chicken stock instead of dairy. It is really very good. Not your traditional vichyssoise (which I...

uhoh.....that sounds REALLY tempting! I think we may have to try both recipes sometime in the near future! I've had decent luck using half butter/half olive oil and maintaining the integrity of many...

Mmmmmmm. We did the later recipe just tonight. It was WONDERFUL. Next time I think I might use even more leeks (I had one that was very large, but probably not 2lbs) and maybe the sour cream but no...

Diane, the leek recipe you recommended was enjoyed by many at our Christmas Eve dinner (can't please ALL the people all the time. My DS wouldn't even try them, but that's the way he is). Funny thing...

I cooked leeks yesterday! My very first time cooking this veggie at home. In fact, I didn't even know what they look like up until a month ago. But if you think I'm the most clueless person, I am not....

Kavey, when you make blue cheese and leek risotto, how do you prep the leeks? do you saute them? Any other seasoning? I think rosemary would be really good in that combination. I love to make risotto,...

I used leeks for the first time today, too. Thank goodness Mom came up to tell me what the heck to do with them - as far as cleaning them. I made a lamb stew. Let you know how it comes out in a few...

We always have leeks in the fridge - we buy them as often as onions! Don't know whether anyone is interested but the following is a good (and slightly different) way of using leeks. Warm Leek and Goat...

I made the leek and goat cheese dip for the Super Bowl and it was a huge hit! So simple yet delicious. I should have gotten out my fondue pot, though. As the dip cooled it hardened up and broke my...

That's great, Jocelyn. It's not a fancy dip by any means but unique and tasty. Glad you liked it; well, until it went and hardened on ya...
