ORANGE-SCENTED SWEET POTATO GRATIN WITH APPLE AND PEAR
The vegetarians and vegans at your table will love this, but so will the meat eaters. Orange is a flavor that complements sweet potatoes, and the walnut oil contributes a subtle background nuttiness. Make sure to stir the mixture every 15 minutes as it bakes, so that the sweet potatoes on the top layer don't dry out. The apple and pear slices may fall apart, but that's fine, they won't disintegrate and they'll contribute wonderful flavor to the dish.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a 3-quart gratin or baking dish with walnut oil. Toss together the sweet potatoes, apples and pear in a large bowl. Season with salt to taste.
- In a small saucepan or in a microwave at 50 percent power, heat the honey (or agave nectar) and the walnut oil together just until warm. Add to the sweet potato mixture, add the orange zest and toss together well until the fruit and vegetables are well coated. Scrape into the baking dish, making sure to scrape out all of the honey and oil using a rubber spatula. Pour on the orange juice. Set the baking dish on a sheet pan and place in the oven.
- Bake 1 hour, setting the timer so that you remember to stir the mixture at 15-minute intervals. Cover the pan with foil and continue to bake for another 1/2 hour, or until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly tender and the liquid in the pan is syrupy. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes (or longer) before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart gratin dish or other ovenproof casserole.
- Cut off the entire rough exterior of the celery roots, making sure that all brown parts are removed. You will be removing about 1/4 to 1/2-inch of the exterior of each. Next, cut each celery root in 1/2 lengthwise. Turn one 1/2 cut side down, and cut into 1/4-inch wide pieces. Repeat with the remaining celery root. Set aside.
- Cut off the fronds and the dark green parts of each fennel bulb, leaving just the bulb. Cut each bulb in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- In a vegetable steamer, combine the celery root and fennel and steam for 5 minutes. Remove from the steamer and set aside to cool slightly.
- Cut the apples into 1/4-inch-thick rings.
- Place 1/3 of the celery root on the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Overlap with 1/3 of the apple slices, and sprinkle with a little more salt but no pepper. Put 1/3 of the fennel over the apples, and once again sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining celery root, apple, and fennel. Pour cream around the sides of the dish until the cream reaches about halfway up the dish. Sprinkle the top of the gratin with the cheese. Cover and bake for 35 minutes, or until the vegetables and apple feel tender when pierced with a fork or a skewer. Turn the oven to broil, remove the cover, and broil until the gratin is golden brown and bubbling, about 3 minutes.
- Let cool 15 minutes to allow the cream to firm up slightly and serve.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm apples and pears. This will ensure that they hold their shape during baking and provide the best flavor.
- Peel and core the apples and pears before slicing them. This will make them easier to eat and will help the gratin to cook evenly.
- Use a variety of apples and pears for a more complex flavor. Some good combinations include Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, or Bartlett and Bosc pears.
- Don't skimp on the butter. Butter adds richness and flavor to the gratin. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
- Use a shallow baking dish so that the gratin cooks evenly. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size.
- Bake the gratin until the apples and pears are tender and the topping is golden brown. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
- Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
