Basically it's one half of some kind of a double ying yang soup from this book,
and it's meant to look like this.
I only made the leek part, so mine was never going to look anything like this. It tastes ok. Really, only ok.
When I went to hear Ms. Marmitelover do a little talk for her book last year, one of the things she said is that she doesn't trust the likes of Nigella for providing recipes because as a columnist and cook book author only she has never had to prove herself by catering on a large scale so the likelihood of her dishes failing is higher. Obviously she was speaking about this in context to her own home restaurant enterprise, but still, I cannot disagree more. Restaurants that produce cookbooks have to adapt the recipes to the home cook to allow for available equipment, ingredients, which alters the result. Which is why restaurant cookbooks are always difficult to cook from. It's a showcase designed to entice you to visit the place, so what do they care if it takes you 2 hours at home to make the soup, you should have booked a table instead! Meh
