Mix crushed garlic (to your taste) and a teaspoon, or so, of a favourite seasoning, with a cup of cream. Layer kūmara in a baking dish (sliced leeks also added here), and pour over cream, letting the garlic bits fall down between the kūmara slices. Bake until cooked through (about an hour), covered until the last 15 minutes..
