“Firstly, sincere condolences for Dozer. What a delight he was. Thank you for sharing him with us. I love this recipe. I make it a lot. The only difference is I also add one onion to further boost the flavour. My question relates to freezing and fridge time” — a cook, 5.0★
“Thank you for another great recipe. I came to check the ratio of potatoes to leeks. I've always made my leek and potato soup the same as your recipe except I finish my soup with a Liaison of blended egg yolk and cream (passed through a sieve). It gives the sou” — a cook, 5.0★
