Fennel answer, please.

Posted in Cooking at 6:19 pm by Beau

OK. J.Go and Max both dissuaded me off fennel last year. But the power of Food TV and specifically, Ina Garten, have over the last year persuaded me that I should give it a whirl. I trust the boys implicitly, but I can’t argue with an amazing white dish filled with creamy something or other and what the hell, if it was inedible, they they were right as rain and all is ok.

So I got the fennel this weekend, found some Gruyere and whipped out a dish of potato-fennel gratin tonight.

OMG. I know what was in the dish because I shredded the cheese and sliced up the potatoes, onions, and fennel, but seriously, it was like CRACK. I skipped everything else for dinner and just ate the gratin. And when I tell you I was eating it out of the dish, standing over the stove, that is not a lie. It was just that good.

So of course I realize that with enough cream, butter, and cheese, one could make a steaming turd into dinner party fare, but this gratin just flipped me into something else all together.

    That sounds really good! I can’t watch Ina Garten too much becasue she looks like my sister-in-law, which is just weird.

    After a long conversion, I’m now a fan of Miss Ina. I just picked up her latest book, and it’s great.

    I have just one request. Please refrain from potty-talk in a food blog. I’m seriously going to be sick now. Jodi is also deeply offended.

    Go back to your cooking now, stud.
