Last night I stocked up the freezer with leek and potato soup made from my granny's home grown leeks. The fresh, crisp leeks tasted delicious raw. I felt sad cooking them but I knew I'd get better use out of them in soup. When I use store-bought leeks, the soup ends up a pale creamy colour with a slight green hue, but yesterday the soup was a vibrant pea green! I was quite worried my husband wouldn't eat it as it looked so unusual. It just goes to show that home grown vegetables have concentrated goodness in them.
One day, if/when I have a bigger kitchen, I'd love a whole collection of nice pots and pans. I think it would make cooking much more fun.
oh these are gorgeous, happy pots!
ReplyDeleteDear me, imagine if you owned all those beautiful milk glass bowls...!
ReplyDeletei love my vintage pyrex; it does make cooking more fun!
ReplyDeleteyum, the leek soup sounds good - i love soup!
i can't wait until i have my own vegetable and herb garden; homegrown stuff really does taste better and you don't lose the nutrients since you can take it from garden to table with a short period of time!
