Of course I have 101 things to do with leeks. I'm Welsh.
They go very well in quiche, they go very well in shepherd's pie and meatloaf and cannelloni, they're delicious with mushrooms in a cheese sauce with pasta, you can cook them exactly the same way as my Michael Sullivan cabbage, making them Michael Sullivan leeks -- S would like that, and it's really good.
The thing with leeks is that they are an allium, like garlic and onions, and they will flavour things. So you can put one leek into almost anything you'd put an onion in, and people won't necessarily tell there is a leek there -- if you don't cut it into circles but lengthways and then into strips -- but they will taste the richness of it. This is my "not cooking on an empty page" thing -- if I have a bunch of leeks there will be bits of leek in everything rather than having a day when I am Iron Chef Leek.
