We are just back off of the Elation. One night at dinner we had a dish with shrimp, leeks, and a white cream sauce. Does anyone remember what it is called? Do you know where I could get the recipe?
you can try going online to carnival.com - they have under "gifts" recipe books from their ships - it may be in one of them. You could also cal them directly or send an email and ask them if it is in the book before you purchase it.
Snowyowlone, Last winter I was going to buy one of the cookbooks, but when our head waiter showed it to me, the recipes were for like 400 people. Is your book that way? I think several years ago they had them scaled down to moderate serving sizes. I finally got the Pumpkin Soup recipe from someone who had the scaled down version

After typing that I think i would rather go on a cruise and let them cook it for me!! It sounds like a pain to cook. I sure hope it easier for them to do it. And some people complain when the food not just right, let's have them cook this.
I hope this turns out good, send me some when (if) you make it. haha
