Leek fondue
Leek fondue (literally "melted") consists of finely sliced leeks cooked until barely tender then simmered gently in cream until thickened.
The aim is to keep the fresh green of the just-cooked leeks but with a lovely soft, melting consistency.
This can be a side dish or an ingredient in lots of different recipes.

Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top.
