The trouble with a lot of recipes is that they assume knowledge - that I haven't got. I wanted to cook some leeks so looked up a recipe (click here - I chose "Roasted"). It just says "add leeks". To most people it's probably obvious but not to me...
Do I wash them ?
Do I peel a layer off ?
Do I slice them and if so, length-ways or across ?
How much 'leaf' do I cut off the top ?
Do I cut any off the bottom ?
I chose Yes, Yes, Yes(across), probably to much and Yes.
Anyway, the leeks were pretty good and showed that I'd made an effort given that the rest of the meal was some salad I found in the fridge and pasta bake using sauce from a bottle.
The really good news is the The Consort took pity on me and cooked this evening - relief all round.
And?? Eagerly awaiting your next concoction....
ReplyDeleteWell done on 2 impressive meals thus far! We think your presentation could do with a bit of work though :)
