What does it taste like please?

mild celery flavour, very 'earthy' (it is a root veg), texture of potato (and can be cooked as such).

Hmmm don't mind swede but can't eat celery

I thoroughly recommend celeriac dauphinois. :drool:

soup is good - especially with apples and walnuts.

If you have any left over, we love it raw grated into homemade coleslaw, or just on its own with a mayonnaise/wholegrain mustard dressing...

I have a large Celeriac in my veg box but i have no idea what to do with it, has anyone got any recipes? thanks

Celariac, leek and potato soup is my daughters favourite.

Chop an onion and some garlic, a couple of leeks, a couple of spuds and a peeled celariac (or half a celariac if its huge, though you do lose a lot when you peel it).
Boil in some chicken stock for about 20 mins, then blend.
If you're not on a low fat regime, you can sweat all the veg in some butter for a bit before you add the stock.
Yummy!!:j:j

Hi everyone:D

I received a celeriac in my veg box and whilst it looks like a veg from outer space Im sure its lovely.

Ive had a quick google and the only recipes I can find are for soup so does anyone have any other recipes to use it?

also can it be frozen?

and whats the best way to cook it? a lot of the sites I found mention if you don't cook it properly it can be bitter but as the recipes I found are for soup it seems that you have to boil it. Is that the case or can it be baked etc?

Sorry for all the q's and many thanks
