| The beauty lies within |
We often speak of the beauty that lies within being more important than outward appearance. This is most certainly true of the celery root or celeriac. The rough knobby exterior hides a pure white root that when cooked into soup and pureed becomes a velvety smooth rich treat. Lots of folks would simply pass the celeriac root while cruising through the produce department. It looks like it would be difficult to peel and that it would be impossible to cook but, it is easier to use than one would think. This holiday lets revisit our definition of beauty and open ourselves up to some delicious surprises.

Looks delicious! How many servings?
We had to big bowlfuls and it looks as if we'll have two more leftover. I made 4 but it would be easy to double it. Boy oh boy was it tasty.
