I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The leeks were a bit too strong for my taste and the sauce was too oily. I wouldn't make this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the leeks turned out great! The lemon-herb sauce was a bit too lemony for my taste, but overall it was a good dish.

Simple but delicious. I used fresh leeks from my garden and they were perfect. The sauce was also very good. I served it with roasted potatoes and it was a great meal.

I made this last night and it was a hit! My family loved the leeks and the sauce was so good I could have eaten it with a spoon. Will definitely be making this again.
