Delicious: cauliflower and cheese (I used cheddar), leeks and cream... what's not to like? I used the book's Wholemeal Pie Crust with spelt and it came out perfectly crispy and flaky. I under-seasoned the filling and needed an extra sprinkle of sea salt, so will remember that for next time. Served with green salad with a lemony dressing. I'd say galette serves 4 people. Looking forward to leftovers! One ingredient that occasionally appeared in 19th-century recipes for sloe gin was almond. A crushed almond, added at the start of the maceration process, highlights the marzipan character of the sloe without the added effort of crushing a few sloe stones.

I was around 30g short of cream but the filling fit in the case just right, so might use that amount again. Looking forward to leftovers, and will definitely make again.
