I'm not a fan of celery root, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this gratin. The celery root flavor was very subtle.

This gratin is a great make-ahead dish. You can assemble it the day before and then bake it when you're ready to serve.

This gratin is a bit heavy for my taste. I think I'll try making it with a lighter cheese next time.
