A delicious meal on its own or to have with to a roast dinner. Don't worry about being precise with the amounts as celeriac vary in size so the amounts vary accordingly. Heaven on a plate!

I think this was fantastic. in Denmark we eat a lot of celery root. One of our national dishes is meat balls in Celeri Root sause Made from the cooking water of the Celeri root thickened with a butter flour mix to gravy consistency. Bread is served on the side and is something we eat often when Celery root is in season. That Celeri mix in sause tastes heavenly in Puff Pastry tarts too. We don't slice it for these resepies we cube it. YUM;0) Read More

Delicious as is! We got a celeriac in our CSA basket and had no idea what to do with it until we found this recipe. We made it exactly following the recipe and really enjoyed it. I think next time we might replace the nutmeg with something else like chili powder or garlic for variety. Read More

This will be on my holiday table to compliment our Christmas ham. The mild flavor lends itself well to a variety of seasonings and the nutmeg is a perfect choice. It was reminiscent of my mother's homemade Mac & Cheese, in terms of the mild cheese flavour. Definitely give this one a try! To Mr. Fraser; Thank you for a delicious recipe! Read More

I followed the recipe and it came out great. Next time I will play with seasonings. This is a great base recipe and I think the options can be endless. I think it needs a little salt in it. Read More
