Leeks are seriously underrated if you ask me. They Leeks are seriously underrated if you ask me. They’re incredibly easy to grow, require little maintenance and will last all season long. I cook with leeks regularly this time of year and consider them a trustworthy friend in the garden knowing they’ll hang around all winter and be available whenever they’re needed. 
•
In the garden are two varieties right now: Lancias (pictured here) and giant Musselburghs, the latter being my favourite by far. Musselburgh leeks are a Scottish heirloom with a nice mild flavour and, as their name suggests, a rather noteworthy size! Quite fun to pull out of the ground, too...if you don’t mind falling backwards tug-o-war style.

Do you cook with leeks? What’s your favourite way to use them?
