    What a lovely gratin and full of flavor and crunch from the fennel. I wish I had seen this earlier. I had left-over fennel from a seafood salad of Ina’s. I too put basil in water to propagate it and it’s amazing how well it works. You’re right that cherry tomatoes (and I think grape too) are good all year long and I depend on them in the winter.

      This is really a great use of fennel. I would encourage you to make this soon Sam. It is a great find.

      Thank you for visiting. This is so good. You make me a better cook. If I could get to you I would bring you thyme in a huge mug.

    Hi, this looks so good. The cherry tomatoes and fennel…great combination. We purchase only cherry tomatoes from the grocer. We have a little luck with hometown tomatoes in the spring and summer.
    Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. Pinning for future use.
    Merry Christmas, Ginger

      I wish I had paid closer attention when my father-in-law tried to show me how to grow a tomato. He was a genius, but I was busy with children and did not pay attention. I bet he is laughing at me now.

    Fennel really has a nice flavor, and I love it in a gratin too. The cherry tomatoes are a wonderful idea – and you’re right that they usually have some flavor, even if it isn’t tomato season. Good stuff – thanks.

      Thanks for visiting John. I hope you will try this and let me know your thoughts. I would hate to have to decide between raw and roasted.

    I recently got this cookbook but have yet to prepare anything from it yet. It looks so good as do all of their recipes. Thanks for sharing. Now I’ll have to pull it out and try that among others.

      Vicki, Make this your first one. I am asking for their book(s) for Christmas. I love food that has minimal labor and a big payback.

    That looks so beautiful. I never really thought of fennel as something to “au gratin!” I use it in salads and roasted all the time, but this looks like a real treat.

      Wini, please try this. The photo does not do it justice. My 2014 goal is to learn to take better photos, but I promise you will love this dish.
