This is a dish from the very first cookbook I ever owned, Peasant’s Choice by James Barber. I loved his TV show as a kid. This recipe calls for mushrooms, but I hate them so I omitted them. If you want to use them, add them at the end with the cream. Ingredients: 1 lb pork tenderloin, cubed...

Don't want to waste the green parts of leeks by throwing them away, or going to the trouble of freezing them to use for stock later? This is the perfect recipe for you. Get rid of any wonky outer leaves, trim the usually dried out top edges, and then start cooking! Makes 4 side dish servings...

You will need some kind of a sous vide set up for this. I also cooked some carrots (1.5 hours) for another meal, with a little bit of salt, sugar, and butter, since they need the same temperature. No eggs in this dish. Cooking in the sous vide makes the leeks soft, creamy, and a little bit...

Leeks with bacon and eggs for breakfast. Why not? Most quiche recipes put the custard in a pie crust but here I have put it in cupcake pans and baked it. We had this for snacks today and it will be tomorrow's breakfast. It is simple to make and great to eat. Ingredients 1 leek sliced 5...

After making this the same day, mid afternoon, I'd either make it the day before and allow to come to room temperature before serving, or make it really early in the day. It wasn't quite cool enough and oozed when I cut it after cooling for about 3 hours. BASE 6 oz saltines 2 Tbsp grated...

The term "leek" immediately brings up the vision of a potato leek soup, a family favorite in the U.S. and probably elsewhere. It has been done and done. One of my favorite soups is French onion soup so I thought I would kick up a potato leek soup by combining it with that favorite. Leeks have...

It has been brought to my attention that the success of the challenge is starting to cause problems for the judge with the large number of entries for each ingredient. As such, I am planning a revision to the rules restricting the number of entries to the challenge that an individual can make to...
