I use onions almost every day in a wide range of dishes, to the point that I almost take them for granted.

Leeks can be great but require more work and imagination, and are more like show stars than backstage workers. What annoys me most is that they are often full of sand and need to be washed, that is a pain. And then there is the decision of how many of the outer leaves can be rendered palatable by your process. Recipes like these are fairly labor-intensive but yield good results.

“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

I sometimes cook a leek soup for my family, but always add cheese, it makes it really tasty.
Prefer onions and spring onions.
