I just bought this slicer – because i wanted to try this recipe. Last week i didnt have ingredients for the slicer so used it to julienne some zucchini & carrots. It did an “okay” job, nothing more. HOwever, by then i was crazy frustrated because I’m a VERY SIMPLE person and the directions (heiroglyphs) were really doing my head it. I kid you not i stood in my kitchen for 40 minutes trying to piece together how this ‘seemingly simple’ 4-piece tool worked! so when it did an “okay’ job on the julienning, I was not inlove. However, i’ve braved it again to make this recipe now and oh the slicing! OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD! sooo fun! So now i love it. recipe is looking good – ‘add garlic’ was left out of step one, so i threw mine in a bit late, still on the simmer now, but i think it’ll all come out fine… certainly smelling yummo!

Hi Liz-Thankyou Oh no, you take out the whole potato/onion/garlic/milky cream mixture and then layer it with zucchini and then you’ll end up putting the whole lot including the liquid into the baking dish. I hope that helps and I hope that you like it

Hi, this looks so good! I’m a little confused by the directions – after you boil the potatoes/onion/cream/garlic together, the only thing you take out and layer in the dish are the potatoes? Or does it all go in? I’ve never seen a gratin recipe that required boiling beforehand or without the cream being poured into the baking dish so I’m not sure but I really want to try this. Thanks!

Hi Fuji Mama-Hehe thankyou! I always think of it as slightly naughty food as most people seem to have that reaction when they have it

Hi Kevin-It’s really nice in it I have to say and adds colour as well as a different texture

I like the sound of adding zucchini to a potato gratin!
