Fennel, potato and leek gratin
"Nothing says comfort food like a gratin bubbling away in the oven. Fennel has to be one of my all-time favourite vegies. Raw, pickled, grilled, roasted or in a braise – it can do no wrong. It gives this dish a lighter touch, not to mention a delicious anise flavour. This gratin is delicious on its own or alongside a crispy-skinned fish fillet or a whole roast fish." – Tom Walton

Gratin dauphinois
"Gratin dauphinois, a layered potato dish baked with aged Comté cheese, cream and a hint of nutmeg, is often on the menu at home when we want comfort food. It goes well with just about anything, but since it’s quite hearty, sometimes we skip any sort of meaty dish and we double this, making a larger version, and we have just that for dinner with a big green salad. If your tastebuds are in any way similar to ours, this is one of those recipes you’ll have on repeat. Look for Comté cheese that’s aged eighteen months. If you can’t find Comté, use Gruyere, its Swiss cousin.” – Marjorie Taylor and Kendall Smith Franchini
