  I made this today. I must be doing something wrong because the leeks tasted very bitter.

  How can this be a vegetarian dish if you use ham? Being vegetarian means you don't eat meat but still eat dairy products.

  Sorry, I now see that you said it's veg if you leave out the ham. My mistake. I've made this and it is like potato bake with leeks, very tasty. Thank you.

  This is a really easy, tasty recipe. Used bacon instead of ham that gave it much more flavour. Just used 5oz pot of cream and seemed to be enough.

  Made it without the ham as a side dish using leeks straight from the ground. This dish worked really well in showing of their flavour to their best advantage.

  This was really tasty, I made the vegetarian version, I used a small carton of cream (about 150ml) this seemed to be ample... it would be really good if someone actually corrected this recipe aas so many people have commented on this ommission. But the dish was full of flavour and I will definitely make it again.

  I've just checked the recipe in the original Magazine (yes I've still got it) and it states 142ml carton double cream. Will be making this tonight.

  Loved this but guess I put in more leeks and cheese than in the recipe. Wouldn't do as a mid week supper though unless you have loads of time on your hands as it took hours to cook.

  Gorgeous. I found it was done quickly and tasted great, I probably put too much cream in but I'm not complaining ;)

  Made this (without the ham) as an accompaniment to a festive roast ham Christmas 2010 and was delicious. Will definitely keep this recipe in my binder for next year!
