Have made this a few times now and it is so decadent and delicious. Had a hard time finding celery root so made it without it the first time and was still amazing.

The printed recipe is WRONG based on the video and it doesn’t work (I tried it). According to the video it’s 1-1/2 cups of cream (not 4 oz.) and the dish should be covered while baking (at least for 45 minutes). We followed the recipe for Xmas dinner; it looked wrong while baking and tasted horrible. I can’t believe this hasn’t been corrected. Will try again based on the video.

After seeing this made by Jonathan Waxman, I had to try it. It did not disappoint. The recipe is straight forward and I made no changes. My struggle was finding the Beaufort cheese. Luckily our specialty grocery store had just received a small stock of Beaufort for the holidays. You can also find it online. Gruyere is a good sub if not available. I had never cooked with celery root before. I loved the contrast with the Yukon gold potatoes. I will be making this again! Thank you Chef Waxman.
