Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Gratin along with all the Gratin containing recipes presented on this site, with 18 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Gratin recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Gratin as a major wild food ingredient.

A gratin is and dish that's been toped with cheese or breadcrumbs mixed with knobs of butter and which is then heated in an oven or under a grill so that the top turns brown and crisp.

The generic terms au gratin, gratinée or gratiner refer to any dish that's been prepared in this way. Most gratin dishes are ovenproof and shallow, which increases a dish's surface area, thereby ensuring a larger crispy portion for each serving.
