Critical Success Points

  • Brown the leek without burning (step 2).
  • Reduce the red wine until almost evaporated (step 4).
  • Incorporate the cream without boiling to avoid separation (step 5).

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid splatters.
  • Cognac evaporates quickly; do not ignite a flame directly under the pan.
