Hi! Just spotted this recipe - I'm saving this for autumn - I love all these ingredients and I can easily substitute non-dairy versions of the butter, etc. Smashing! Thanks
Hope you are well.
Love

Great recipe, though very high in fat (I used some butter and cream substitutes). I came on the site today, looking for a way to use up some fresh leeks. Found this recipe, and decided to try it because it sounded so yummy, I had all the ingredient...more
