Whilst trawling the net for inspiration of how to cook leeks, with recipes, the British Leek Association popped up!  They have lots of new recipes for cooking leeks.

Leeks are a truly versatile vegetable:

  • milder, sweeter flavour than onions
  • smooth texture similar to asparagus

Our leeks always see us through the winter- they have been  particularly delicious this year.
