I was simmering leeks in my parents' kitchen a few weeks ago, and when I went to test the doneness with a knife my mother said, "I can never tell with a knife. I need my fork." She produced the fork you see in this picture which she said is over a hundred years old and has always been in the house. I picked it as a "pick" because we all have objects that, for whatever reason, just feel right in our hands. This funny old fork is my mother's kitchen equivalent of a favourite old sweater. What's yours?
(Leeks from my father's garden, by the way.)
