…I love Celeriac!
Serious. Weird right?
How can I adore Celeriac and not worship Celery? Quite easily. I hate the lingering oniony smell with celery and the strong after taste…and though Celeriac has the same smell, it is a much lighter fragrance with a less powerful smell. Plus it hints at Celery but rather than crunch, has warmth and whole-heartedness at its core!

- When peeled, the flesh can change colour if not ‘acidulated’ – lemon helps keep it looking ‘young’.
