Food isn’t the only way leeks are highlighted in the Kane area, they have also made their way to our spirits! For the final week- and the week leading up to Leekfest- we talked with Sam Cummings about the process of making leek vodka and a variety of uses for it. Then Tom Jones tells all about the upcoming Leekfest at CJ Spirits!
How does CJ Spirits make leek vodka? Watch and learn!
We know leeks have a special place in your life, too. We wanted to hear from you directly and you did not disappoint! Check out stories and recipes below.
Leek Story 1: Michelle Palmer
Although she doesn’t like to eat (or dig) leeks herself, Michelle has a few good stories about leeks to share! There are a couple of Kane Area Community Center friends who tell what they love about leeks at the end.
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.
For Leek Week 2, we went to talk to our local chefs in their restaurants to show you their leek food specials this season. It was a really great experience and we can tell you first-hand that you need to get out and try this food for yourself!
