Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces, leaving on stems if clean.
Cube the potatoes into 1" pieces (roughly) and set aside with water to cover.
Saute the leeks, garlic and mushrooms in the olive oil with the wine or mirin and herbs.
When the leeks are tender, add the spinach and stir until it wilts.
Add the potatoes and their water.

I am a working artist with a continuing culinary practice in special recipe design- I like to make jams and jellies, salsa and pasta sauce from locally sourced or personally grown produce. At the local farmer's market my friend and I sell muffins we make and also seeds from Seed Savers Exchange, which takes seriously the preservation and protection of heirloom varieties from around the world. I have self-published a children's book I illustrated and am working on a followup book with the author that continues the story of "Sophie, Circus Mouse", the first title. The illustration above is one I created for a local orchard's street sign.
