Have a lovely holiday break, thanks for your sharing and your creativity and have a Happy New Year!

I wrote my first blog about a leek.

The little leeks did indeed become sweet after 10 minutes in boiling salted water, & were very nice with the vinaigrette & hardboiled egg garnish.

I like the idea of a poached egg too, maybe like eggs benedict, on a bed of leeks atop an English muffin with the vinaigrette poured over & lots of coarse black pepper.

I didn't have shallots, so made the vinaigrette with a green onion. There's a little left over & I'm going to use it on steamed whitefish with brown rice (wish I had some leftover leeks to go with that).

Thanks for another nice, useful recipe.

I adore sharp flavours and could probably drink a really good vinaigrette straight from the container, some days.

I don't bake (used to but somehow lost the will), and although I love the stories in your blog and your book, it's the savoury recipes I try. Thanks for this.

yes do you still keep in touch with your 'host' mom?

In summary: don't use Incredible Hulk-sized leeks.
