    Fantastic! Makes a great starter. Careful with the cooking time of the leeks however, I followed the instructions and they were a bit underdone... Perhaps my leeks were a little on the large side..

    The first time I made this dish it blew me and my partner out of the water. It's so delicate and the sweetness of the currants (which I soaked for a while) and the goat curds was phenomenal. I disagree with the other note, I think the cheese is essential for the complex subtlety of the recipe. I went to our cheese shop and bought a high quality very creamy goat cheese. (The cheese monger suggested that as long as I got a really fresh and soft goat cheese it would be okay in place of the curd which they didn't have).

    Pg. 123. We really enjoyed this dish. I used dried cranberries in place of the currants and goat cheese in place of the goat's curd, which I've never seen. The onion dressing provided a really nice tangy/sweet accent. If I make this again, I'd eliminate the goat cheese -- I really felt that it detracted from our overall enjoyment of the dish. I'd also cook the leeks longer than the recipe directs.
