I’d tear up the check if somebody served that at a wedding. Celery puree? WTF? Just serve dirty water. If I hated my guest and was broke, I would serve rosemary chicken and collard greens.
Celery root, also known as celeriac, is the bulbous root
I think you might like celeriac or what is commonly called celery root. It has a different flavor than the celery sticks you’re familiar with. It’s really good. And slow roasted lemon rosemary chicken is wonderful. Guests always go for seconds.
