Geurt, Dizon farms grows celeriac. It is sometimes for sale in at the Shoemart or SM Grocery in Makati, usually displayed in the main lobby. Best bet is to check on Friday or Saturday. It’s an unusual offering for Manila, so get a couple when you find it. I have a post on finding celeriac a few days before this post.

MM: Thanks for the recipe. I tried this as part of our Christmas meal. But instead of italian parsley I used dill. It was tasty. I had an impression that the cereliac would be more tender from your picture, instead it had the consistency of carrot but seemingly less crunchy. Maybe I should have cut it thinner than I had.

Hi MM, off topic…Your knife, you have done posts on your saucepans, etc…but I don’t believe you have done one on knives… Been wanting to buy one but don’t know what to look for, besides the price….how did you choose yours?

Celeriac is very nice mashed in with potatoes, or pureed on its own. I had a celeriac/kale/potato mash a year or so ago that was absolutely delicious.

I always save the core & the root of regular celery bunches for myself & just eat those w sea salt. I’ve hesitated to get those huge knobs of celeriac. Next time, I’ll get some & add to winter soups or just nosh on them!

i read it first as CERELAC, the baby cereal, and I have to admit that when I was in high school I enjoyed munching on a handful of dry CERELAC from my baby sister’s supply. I am shameless… but maybe the next time i’m in a grocery i’ll buy myself a box.

Hej MM!
That’s a fantastically fresh celeriac you’ve got – still with the green tops! And what a knife! One could only find these fresh celeriacs in the beginning of summer here. I love celeriacs and I’ve used it as a substitute for the stick celery when I didnt have any on hand, to make Waldorf salad. It was yummy combined with granny smiths as well! Your prawn combination is indeed refreshing.

Celeriacs are great on soups and give lots of flavour to stews. It’s a real winter treat.
I read somewhere that the crisps do better in the oven.

Cheers!
