235: Celeriac and Apple Slaw

A while ago I read a book called Spiced, wherein the author talks about having worked for Martha Stewart. She says they put out so many recipes that a decent amount of them are just variations on the other. So it's not surprising that this recipe exists, given the variations I've done with kohlrabi and turnips. My only sub was using apple cider vinegar instead of plain cider.

Of the three variations I like kohlrabi best, but celeriac definitely beats out turnip. My only complaint was I'd cut the matchsticks way too long, so actually eating the thing was a bit of a challenge. The texture of celeriac raw isn't great, either, but with this style of preparation it isn't too bad. Not sure I'd do it again though.

230: Smashed Celeriac

I can't help but be a fan of the difficult things. It probably says a lot about my character/particular brand of crazy that when someone says something is ugly or weird or hard I'm automatically disposed to like it that much more. I was always more of an Avid person than a Final Cut person, for one. 

I love Brussels sprouts and kohlrabi and I really want to like celeriac root- despite (because?) of its ugliness. A celery flavor without the annoying stringiness. I used this recipe from Jaime Oliver. Didn't let it go quite as long as I should've- right now I'm using pans with makeshift tin foil lids so it's hard to keep moisture in- but definitely an easy, warm, comforting dish.
