This evening I tried Anderson's leek braised in chic.broth with a vinegrette drizzled over it.
First time out with a leek and it was delicious; unfortunately, the leek looks sort of green and
needs some visual contrast. I"m thinking of wrapping it with a strip of roasted red pepper. Anyone
have a fav. way of presenting a leek? - Mike

Believe it or not, there IS actually a small cookbook called "First You Take a Leek" and I gave it
to my son-in-law for Christmas! I don't recall the author, but Amazon has it.

I sometimes grate cheese over it and run it under the broiler to make a crust. I like the roasted
pepper idea, though. May try that next.
