• Heat the butter in a saucepan. Add the leeks, rosemary and bay leaf, then cover and cook very gently over a medium-low heat for 15-20 mins until the leeks are soft.

• Pour a little of the leek mixture into an ovenproof gratin dish. Arrange a layer of celeriac in the dish, then season. Spoon over some more of the leek mixture and scatter with a little cheese. Repeat the process, alternating between layers of the leek mixture, cheese and celeriac slices, then finish with a drizzle of cream and the last of the cheese.

• Mix melted butter and breadcrumbs and set aside. In the bottom of an 8x11 inch casserole dish, make one layer of potatoes. Salt and pepper. Next, layer celeriac. Salt and pepper. Sprinkle the garlic, onion, and fennel for next layer. Pour enough chicken broth to get about half way up the sides, and top with whole can of diced tomatoes. Salt and pepper.

POTATOES AND CELERIAC AU GRATIN

Steps:

• Rinse the potatoes and put them in a saucepan with cold water to cover and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. They will not be fully cooked. Drain the potatoes and when they are cool enough to handle, peel and cut them into half-inch slices.
• Pare the celery knob, cut it into quarter-inch slices and put them in a saucepan with water to cover. Add the lemon juice and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and reserve a half cup of the cooking liquid.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the garlic, tomatoes, salt, pepper and basil leaves. Cook, stirring, for one minute. Add the cream, the reserved half cup of cooking liquid, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for two minutes.
• Grease an oval au gratin dish, measuring 2 1/2 by 8 by 10 inches, with butter. Arrange the potatoes in one layer. Sprinkle half of the grated cheese over the potatoes. Place the celery slices over that. Pour the tomato mixture over all and then the remaining grated cheese. Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake 40 minutes until nicely browned.
