aaah,i love the farmers market,gets the adrenalin pumping...all that fresh produce,and such an awesome price,and it's wonderful to chat to the folks who actually grow the tasty goodies...

Brett,

I haven't tried celeriac, but I love them to look at.  I always see them as a 'mr potato head' and want to put little eyes, nose and a mouth on them.  They have great green hair. 

A friend uses a lot - but he cooks them, so that's of no help.  In fact this whole post is no help.  But I do love them aesthetically.

In my head, I would approach as fennel.  Grated in salads or coleslaw would be divine - but that's just a hunch.  You could dehydrate and make celery chips too I suspect.

I like it grated in my salads. Try buying the smaller ones as they taste better than the larger ones too.
I saw some really big ones today for 3.99 each. However I didn't buy one as their is only so much food one can eat in a week.

I want to eat your picture RGN. That looks yummy.. what is it?

As I said, this is the first celerriac I've ever seen.. or maybe it's just the first I've ever noticed(?) Can the heads be replanted? I seem to remember Dr Ann talking about celeriac greens. I will try some of it in a soup, and also will try kohlrabi (I'm a virgin with that too). Celeriac looks like a good staple for the vegie garden ... just thinking out loud..

isn't it so colorful brett...that is one of my versions of raw soup...

here's the recipe

3-5 ripe sweet lush tomatos
1/2 to 1 small avo
1/2 red onion chopped
corn scraped fresh from the cob
1/2 bunch of parsley
1 small apple cored and de-pipped
small dash of pure water
blend until roughly combined,i don't like mine totally smooth
in another bowl
1/4 chopped red onion
grated parsnip
little more corn kernels freshly scraped off cob
pour in soup,and stir through
decorate the top with grated carrot and halved cherry tomatos and grated zuchinni..

this is so awesome and filling and pure joy to eat,the colorfullness makes me so happy when i eat it...

sometimes i take out the avo and add celeriac instead,makes for a slighly less creamy soup,but no less delicous...

let me know if you try it brett,and whether  you liked it...it is so nourishing and easy to digest..

will do, Neet
