  Very tasty, but next time I do it I will cook the potatoes & parsnips for 2 or 3 minutes before I put them in the dish because they took longer to cook. Apart from that it was a nice change to eat vegatables all together. We eat it with grilled sirloin steak. Yum!!!

  I've made this a few times now, the last time I added a spoon of Honey Mustard to the carrots and cream whilst they were in the pot..it made all teh difference, really gorgeous. I also added crispy bacon bits on another occasion and it went down a treat!!

  So good to the tastebuds, so bad to the arteries... this is in my "now more often than every two months" category.

  This was better than expected, but I did find it needed an extra twenty minutes to cook through properly.

  This was delicious. Very rich and very moreish. Easy to cook although it is preparation intensive. Well worth it. I'll definitely be having this again.

  Gorgeous recipe! We were three people and polished off 3/4s, with the leftovers eaten for brunch the next day. Definitely worth the effort, a nice alternative to regular potato gratin.

  Simply excellent! Our 16 year old wanted us to put the leftovers in sanwiches for school, quite a compliment from a Burger King Junkie!

  I made this as a side dish with chicken and asparagus which my family really enjoyed. As I am vegetarian I had it as a main with asparagus on the side. It is lovely but a bit calorific!

  This is delicious! It is very calorific, so probably best saved for high days and holidays, but it is worth it! Will definitely make again.

  This had a gorgeous aromatic flavour, and with a leg of roasted chicken makes a lovely comfort meal. I added a generous dollop of Dijon to the cream sauce, and next time I think I'll scatter fried cubetti di pancetta in amongst the layers. Will definitely make again.

  This is really really nice and very morish! Not part of the 'low-fat' diet but definitely worthy of the weekend treat list!

  Can you use anything other than double cream for this recipe to cut the calories and fat content, i.e. half fat creme fraiche for instance?

  Very satisfying, tasty and highly recommended. The addition of a little mustard is a nice touch too (thank you BBC Good Food comments). I have also used the same quantities as stated in the recipe but prepared in individual large ramekins which has looked great as a side dish. I have served this with both pork chops and glazed ribs...delicious!
