Celery sticks, celery with peanut butter I know about. Maybe some soups? What do you like? TIA... I can use an entire bunch of celery in a stir fry... onions, bean sprouts, napa, garlic, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, lotta gloppy sauce, LO pork/chicken... think chow mein.... n' fly lice. Even better cold for breakfast... if you say you don't eat cold from the fridge LOs then you won't make it single, better find a mate. I'm single and there are weeks when I use two big bunches of celery, e.g. in stir - fries, salads, soups, mixed in with rice, etc...I've no problem in using it up. -- Best Greg |

Huh? What could be richer tasting than cream itself? Right, evap adds no extra butterfat... but it does add a caramelized flavor that is acceptible in confections and some sweet dishes but can be off tasting in savory dishes. I would be loathe to use evap in any cream-of soup, especially celery. |

I was looking for a specific celery recipe some years ago, but didn't know the name. Victor Sack posted this one, which was exactly what I was looking for. The "Victor" attributed to the recipe is not Victor Sack. It was billed as the original recipe (in the Time-Life series) but turned out to have been "adapted/improved". Here is the original recipe, from Victor Hirtzler's _The Hotel St. Francis Cook Book_: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/coldfusion/display.cfm?ID=hosf&PageNum=342 Victor |

Do you ever use celery root or celeriac? Very often. It is a common ingredient here, available most everywhere. It is good in soups and stews, especially if not terribly overcooked. You can purée the celery root and use it "as is" or mix it with mashed potatoes. Then, there is that typical bistro dish, céleri rémoulade. Here is a recipe from _Bistro Cooking_ by Patricia Wells. It is also from _Bistro Cooking_ by Patricia Wells. Victor Céleri Rémoulade Celery Root in Mustard Sauce 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 tablespoons imported Dijon mustard or to taste 1 cup crème fraîche or heavy cream Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 celery root (about 1 pound; 500 g) 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, mustard, crème fraîche, and salt and pepper to taste; mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust the seasoning. 2. Quarter the celery root and peel it. Grate coarsely, in a food processor or on a Mouli grater. Immediately add it to the mustard sauce and toss to coat. Season to taste. Serve as a first course. Yield: 4 to 6 servings |
