Scrumptious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Very, very good and very easy. Just salt to taste as this salt is very course.

Attention to detail
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

The Boys have some fun receipes, but this is not a well thought through one because it simply doesn't translate into... practise. I am really sad to see a receipe published which calls for cooking four whole leeks - no trimming instructions, no divisions, and suggesting the quantity will serve eight - for an "elegant dinner party". Come on! You've got a chicken breast on each plate - and then what - a giant whole leek on every other plate? No first course. This is not an elegant dinner party - imagine it in reality - no beginning. Chicken breasts, a veggie on alternate plates . Lets get a little more professional here.Read more

Too Tough to Eat!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

The flavor was good but you couldn't eat them because the outer part was too tough even though it was thoroughly cooked. I... figured I should have peeled off several more layers off each one first but the only tender part was a little skinny part in the center. It was disappointing but looked good for the presentation.Read more

Leeks are delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These were very good tasting. I would use a little less salt, as the large crystals were strong.
