Before you start

Start with the crumble: prepare apples and crumbs, then bake at 180°C. While it cooks, wash leeks and start the soup in a separate pot.

Meal preparation order

Check apples and potatoes separately for tenderness. Blend soup just before serving. Dessert can cool briefly during the first course; the two recipe times do not simply add up when tasks overlap.

Plan equipment and serving

These notes complement the recipes: equipment and available space can prevent two dishes from cooking together.

Spoons mean level measuring spoons. Mass and volume are not converted into each other. Round up purchases, then weigh the amount needed; for part of an egg, beat it and weigh the fraction. Cooking times do not scale with servings.
