So far in this leek series we’ve covered how to dig leeks and where to order leek treats in town. For week 3 we learn a few ways to cook leeks from Bell’s Meat and Poultry’s very own James Anderson!

Did you know James has a YouTube channel called Montgomery’s Kitchen where he shows how to cook delicious meals? Well, he does, and he’s going to give a step-by-step of how to cook with leeks!

He made three recipes with leeks that you could easily make in your very own kitchen. Check it all out below.
