My review
Celery Root Puree
66k
Chef John
"I joke that celery root tastes like celery if celery actually tasted good; for the most part, this is true. The flavor is quite mild and pleasant, and the texture is somewhat similar to mashed potatoes. This simple puree is a very versatile side dish, but the tasty root will also work sliced thin and layered in a gratin, either with or without potatoes. I hope you give this great fall and winter vegetable a try soon."

Who needs the carbs from potatoes when you have celery root. Absolutely loved this. Next time I will add some Cumin.

I was really looking forward to trying this but I found the lemon was too over powering. Next time, I will only put a little in and taste it, and not be so trusting and dump all the juice in.

Family loved it. Great alternative to mashed potatoes. I made cashew cream instead of using heavy cream to avoid dairy. Food processor worked perfectly to get it to the right consistency. Double...

I followed the recipe as written. It turned out as described in the video. I pureed it in my food processor and I didn't need to strain it
