"I insist on having interesting people around the dinner table: painters, writers, people who are doing things. Barry Humphries is an ideal guest - a most intelligent and amusing person. I'm a little frightened of Dame Edna Everage, though, so have never invited her to my table!."

Ingredients
3 x leeks
Butter
Thickened cream
Baby carrots or broad beans
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
This is a quick and simple sauce that you can use in many ways. It is delicious served with baked lamb and rosemary.
Take 3 leeks. Wash, remove base and slice into 5 mm rounds. Sweat them in a frying pan with a liberal amount of butter. A piece of baking paper placed over the top at this stage will help sweat them.
When leeks are almost cooked, remove the baking paper and season with salt and pepper.
Add a pot of thickened cream and slowly bring to the boil.
You can add baby carrots if you like or, depending on what you’re having, cooked broad beans.

Hot Tips
Yorkshire puddings that rise
Bring your ingredients (egg, milk and flour) to room temperature before combining. This will help the puddings to rise in the oven, as the warmth will create the steam earlier, thus creating the puff in the puddings.
