• Sprinkle thyme and garlic slices over gratin. Toss mushrooms in medium bowl with 3 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper. Arrange mushroom slices atop gratin around edge of dish. Drizzle with 1/4 cup cream; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Continue to bake uncovered until mushrooms are tender and potato edges are golden brown, about 20 minutes longer. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool 1 hour in dish; cover and chill. Before serving, cut gratin into 10 pieces. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet. Cover with foil and rewarm in 350°F oven, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°; butter a shallow baking dish or gratin.
• Bring the sliced potatoes, milk, wine, salt, and pepper to a boil in a large pan, stirring occasionally; leave at a simmer while you get on with the mushrooms.
• Melt the butter and garlic oil in a skillet over med-high heat; add in mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
• Pour the mushrooms and their garlicky juices into the pan of potatoes, stir to mix.
• Transfer to the gratin dish; bake for 45 minutes or until piping hot, and crisp on top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Halve or quarter the mushrooms, depending on their size. Warm the butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in a deep pan and add the mushrooms, letting them color nicely here and there (expect to add more oil if they drink it all). Pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Continue to boil for a couple of minutes.
• Pour the cream into the pan and let it come back to a boil, then simmer for two minutes. Turn off the heat. Wash the spinach and put it, still wet from rinsing, into a pan with a tight-fitting lid. Let the spinach cook for a minute or two in its own steam, then drain it and squeeze to remove excess water.
• Reserve several tablespoons of the Parmesan. Fold together the mushrooms, drained spinach, salt and black pepper, and the rest of the grated Parmesan. Put into a shallow baking dish. Scatter the reserved cheese on top and bake for thirty-five minutes, until the top is crisp and golden.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat.
• Add farro to the pot, and cook according to package directions until tender (which should be about 20 to 30 minutes). Drain well in a colander. While still warm (and leaving the farro in the colander, if you like), drizzle the grains with enough olive oil to coat lightly, tossing well to prevent from sticking. Set aside.
• While farro is cooking, prepare the mushrooms: In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Add enough of the mushrooms to cover the skillet in one layer without crowding and half the thyme. Cook, undisturbed, until bottoms of the mushrooms are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir and let brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer mushrooms and thyme to a plate, and season with salt and pepper. Add another 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and repeat with another layer of mushrooms and thyme, adding them to the plate when done. Repeat with any more mushrooms if necessary.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and stir in shallots and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until tender and golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat and return mushrooms to the pan (discarding the thyme sprigs). Stir in farro, mascarpone and 3/4 cup parsley. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Spread mixture evenly in the skillet and sprinkle Gruyère on top. Bake until the farro is hot and Gruyère is melted, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn on broiler and broil for 1 to 2 minutes until Gruyère starts to bubble and develop brown spots.
• Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top, if you'd like.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then cool.
• Toss melted butter with bread crumbs, cheeses, garlic, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl until combined.
• Trim each leek to an 8-inch length (reserve tops for another use if desired). Halve leeks lengthwise, then cut crosswise into roughly 1-inch pieces. Wash leeks, then drain well.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 1-to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook roux, whisking, 1 minute. Add stock in a slow stream, whisking, then bring to a boil, whisking. Add nutmeg and zest and boil, whisking, 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter baking dish.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add leeks and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, then cover leeks directly with a round of parchment paper and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed and leeks are tender and just beginning to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat until foam subsides. Add mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed and mushrooms are just beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Remove parchment from leeks and stir in mushrooms. Transfer mixture to baking dish, spreading it evenly. Pour sauce over vegetables and top with crumb mixture. Bake until gratin is bubbling and topping is golden, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C/Gas 7.
• Coat a 9-inch square casserole or baking dish with olive oil, and lay the rosemary sprig on the bottom.
• Layer half of the potato slices over the bottom of the dish and top with half of the sliced mushrooms, half of the garlic, half of the thyme and half of the walnuts; and sprinkle generously with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Top with the remaining potatoes, then scatter the remaining mushrooms, garlic, thyme and walnuts over the top of the mixture, and sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Bake, uncovered, until the top is golden and crusty, about 1 hour.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add leeks and celery root and cook for 10 minutes. Add mushroom pieces, 1/2 of the tarragon, and 1/2 of the chives; continue cooking until mushrooms give off liquid, about 6 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, combine bread crumbs and Gruyere cheese in a mixing bowl.
• Add flour to the frying pan with the mushroom mixture. Add cream in a stream and stir until it becomes an even color, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 of the bread crumb mixture and stir until cheese starts to melt, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat. Transfer mixture to a baking dish and top with remaining tarragon, chives, and bread crumb mixture. Add a small amount of water to moisten the mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes.
• Use a spatula to scoop portions and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease/spray a 2-qt casserole dish.
• In a large skillet, melt butter. Add leeks and mushrooms, and salt, pepper and paprika cover and saute for 10-12 minutes; Remove from heat.
• Add light cream, parmesan cheese and swiss cheese. Stir to combine well; pour into prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
• Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the garlic cloves, onion, bay leaves, thyme, double cream and milk in a pan. Bring slowly to the boil over a low heat, partially cover with a lid and cook for 20-30 mins until the onion is tender and the cream mixture slightly thickened. Turn off and leave everything to infuse for 1 hr.
• Strain the cream mixture into a jug (or bowl) and discard the herbs. Put the garlic cloves and onion in a food processor or blender and whizz until smooth - add a drop of the cream if it helps. Stir the paste back into the rest of the cream and season with 2 tsp salt.
• Put the pancetta in a cold frying pan and cook gently, over a low-medium heat so the fat melts into the pan, until the pancetta is really crispy. Lift out with a slotted spoon, add the butter and mushrooms and turn up the heat, frying the mushrooms, until golden and dry.
• Leave the skins on the potatoes and slice as thinly as possible. Grease a large baking dish with a little more butter. Layer up the potato slices, scattering over some of the cooked pancetta, the mushrooms and a little freshly grated nutmeg and pepper as you go. Finish by slowly pouring over the cream so that it settles among all the layers, then scatter over a few more thyme leaves. Cover with foil.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Bake the gratin for 1 hr, then remove the foil and bake for 35-45 mins more until golden and crispy on top. Poke a knife in to check the potatoes are tender, then leave for 10-15 mins to settle, before serving with a salad, if you like.

Steps:

• In a skillet cook the mushrooms in 2 1/2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until they are softened and most of the liquid they give off has evaporated. Stir in the flour and cook the mixture, stirring, for 3 minutes.
• In each of six 1 1/2-cup gratin dishes layer the onions, the remaining butter, cut into bits, the mushroom mixture, and salt and pepper to taste, beginning and ending with a layer of onions, and pour 1 tablespoon of the cream over the top of each gratin. In a small bowl combine well the Gruyère and the bread crumbs and sprinkle the mixture over the cream. (Alternatively, the gratin, layered in the same manner, may be prepared in one 2-quart gratin dish.) Bake the gratins in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the onions are tender and the tops are golden. The gratins may be prepared 3 hours in advance, kept covered and chilled, and reheated in a preheated 400°F. oven for 5 minutes, or until they are heated through.
