It seems most people think the celery root is a bit unattractive. Words like knobby, gnarled, bulbous, tuberous and even ugly are used to describe its appearance. Even famous chef / cookbook author / TV personality, Graham Kerr called it “the most God awful thing to look at.”
Peering at it closely though, it is a wondrous creation of nature -- intricately intertwined, like a family.
We bought this beauty at Gentiles and took it home as our own.
We shredded it, added it to soup, tossed it into coleslaw and ate chunks of it raw. We also battered slices of it and fried it in butter…yummm.
