• Bring the cream, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes and then remove from the heat.
• Pour a bit of the cream into the bottom of a casserole dish.
• Place a layer of rutabaga on top, followed by some cream and some cheese. Continue to layer ending with a layer of cheese.
• Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until bubbling on the sides and golden brown on top, about 30-40 minutes.

ROOT VEGETABLE GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 2-quart gratin or baking dish. Place the sliced vegetables in a large bowl, and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the thyme, and toss together.
• Arrange the vegetables in the gratin dish. Add the milk, season with more salt and pepper if you wish, and place in the oven on the middle rack. Bake 45 minutes; every 15 minutes, press the vegetables down into the milk with the back of your spoon.
• Add the cheese, and stir in carefully to incorporate. Return to the oven, and bake another 30 to 45 minutes, stirring or pressing the vegetables down with the back of your spoon every 10 minutes until the gratin is nicely browned and most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat and serve, or allow to settle and serve warm. (You can make this several hours ahead of serving, and reheat in a medium oven.)

MASHED POTATO AND RUTABAGA GRATIN

Steps:

• Butter an 8x11-inch baking dish and set aside. Put the potatoes and rutabaga in a 5- to 6-quart saucepan or Dutch oven and cover with cool water by about 1 inch (the rutabaga will float to the top). Add 1/2 tsp. salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover partially, and cook until the potatoes are very tender and the rutabaga is soft, about 25 minutes. Drain the vegetables and return them to the pot. Set over medium heat for a minute or two, shaking and stirring to rid them of excess moisture and steam. Transfer the vegetables to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or use a large mixing bowl and an electric hand mixer). On low speed, break up the vegetables until the potatoes are smooth and there are small chunks of rutabaga in the mixture. Gradually add the cream cheese, increase the speed to medium, and beat until absorbed. Gradually add the butter and beat until absorbed. Add the mustard and half of the pecorino and beat until combined. If the purée seems too dry, add enough milk to make it light and fluffy but not wet. (You may not need to use any milk.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the mash to the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Serve Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. If the gratin was made assembled ahead and refrigerated, let it sit at room temperature while the oven heats. Bake uncovered until heated though and the top is golden, about 40 minutes for a refrigerated gratin or about 20 minutes for a freshly made gratin. Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.

RUTABAGA, PEAR AND TURNIP GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the cream, milk, mustard, cayenne, nutmeg, a generous amount of salt and the turnips and rutabaga in a large bowl. Mix well. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large pot over medium heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally to assure the mixture is not sticking to the bottom, until the vegetables give up water and become tender, for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and taste for seasoning.
• Make the topping: Mash 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl. Add the panko, almonds and 1/2 cup Parmesan and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Add the pears to the turnip mixture. Grease the bottom and sides of a 3-quart gratin dish with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Spread the minced garlic on the bottom of the dish with the back of a spoon. Arrange half of the turnip mixture and cream evenly in the bottom of the gratin dish, pressing down to flatten the mixture. Top with the Gruyere and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. Arrange the remaining turnip mixture evenly on top. Pour any leftover cream over the gratin. Cover the dish with a sheet of foil, crimping the edges, and place on a baking sheet so that no excess liquid will leak onto the floor of your oven and burn.
• Place in the center of the oven and bake for 1 hour. Carefully remove from the oven, take off the foil and return to the oven to cook until completely tender when pierced with the tip of a small knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour more.
• Top the gratin with the panko-cheese mixture and bake until golden brown, about another 15 minutes. Remove and cool at least 30 minutes but no longer than 1 hour before serving.

LOW CARB RUTABAGA "POTATO" GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 320°F. Begin by slicing the onion and placing it in a hot pan lightly greased with ghee. Cook the onions for up to 5 minutes while stirring over a medium heat until fragrant.
• Add sliced bacon to the cooked onions. Then add thyme and cook until the bacon is lightly browned. Set aside.
• While the bacon and onions rest, peel, then thinly slice the rutabaga into 1/4 cm slices. You should have 3 layers worth of rutabaga.
• Grease a large baking dish with ghee and place one layer of sliced rutabaga. Cover the first layer with your bacon and onion mix with a half cup of the grated cheddar cheese. Repeat.
• Finally, for the last layer of rutabaga slices, combine the cream, chicken stock, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl and pour over the last layer until almost covered. Season to your liking if needed.
• Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place a cookie sheet or another baking dish underneath the gratin to catch any juice drippings. Bake for 1 hour, covered.
• After the hour, the rutabaga will soften. Remove the aluminum foil and push the rutabaga down with a spatula to immerse it with the cream mixture (prevents drying out!). Bake for another 45-60 minutes while routinely pressing the rutabaga down every 15 minutes or until the rutabaga gets tender.
• After the hour, take it out of the oven and spread the creme fraiche and grated parmesan cheese on top. Meanwhile, turn the oven up to 400°F.
• Bake the gratin for another 20-30 minutes (until the cheese has melted).
