Luckily, I’ve never had any problem eating leeks, so I know I’d like the leeks with carrot and rice – and I just love the cartoon, very sweet.

Ya know, I don’t get enough leeks into my diet. Maybe it’s time for a change. Starting with this recipe.

That’s a really cute little cartoon! It makes sense that kids who are helping in the garden are less reluctant to eat their vegetables than kids who don’t, although I have to say that I haven’t found the vegetable my little nephew won’t eat yet. He actually turns down sweets in favor of more broccoli!

What a wonderful little story and drawing! Of all the strategies you listed above, your mother’s is the best one – introducing you to vegetables so that you know where they come from and don’t become suspicious of them. I hated vegetables (really) as a child but have grown to love them as an adult and I’m still discovering so many that I’ve never tried before. I’ve had leeks in soups or used as one ingredient in a larger dish but this would be the first where it’s the center of attention. Your recipe looks easy and delicious and something I will definitely try!

I love leeks – now, but growing up we did not have them very often. I love the story of the mother and child leeks you shared.

I have a weird thing with onions. I like the flavor but not the texture. But, I do like leeks. Yours look great!

I used to never use leeks but now I use them when making leek fritters, another tasty dish
