Cockaleekie soup is a very old recipe for chicken and leek soup--delicious! It'll be the first entry in our new series, "Starving Artists in the Kitchen", we just haven't settled on a home for it yet.
Here in my LJ, in a new one that's just food-oriented that we both post to, on Wordpress, where?! J. and I both enjoy cooking, and we're both health-and-economy conscious, so that will be the focus. Great food at great prices!
Even if it's a bit of a pricey entree', our offerings will still be very much LESS expensive if you make it yourself rather than going out for crab cakes, Caesar salad, or the like.
Anyway, my "50 ways to use a chicken" mindset will get a workout!
We'll give hints on buying and storing food as well...
He's retired, I'm a self-employed artist, so you KNOW we're frugal...
...to a point. ;-P
I've actually written or co-written a few cookbooks, including the 1989 Wild Foods Cookbook for Viking Penguin/Stephen Green Press and the Fort Osage Cookbook of historical recipes, but this will be a different, more up-to-date focus. As up-to-date as something as old as cockaleekie soup can be, anyway!
