"Tastes like celery if celery tasted good"

"It tastes like celery, if celery tasted good."

Made this today and served it next to a 4lb reindeer steak (Norwegian, yes we eat reindeer) . Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe, they all loved it!

Interesting to hear that the celery root is an unusual ingredient in the US. In Norway we use it all the time - and really enjoy it too! At least I do, in soups and everything, but my favourite is as a puré as this.

You come up with things I'd never think of! Your channel gives me a use for ALL of my garden, even the roots!!

I put the entire root into an instant pot. Time depends on size. Let it cool. Peeling is a breeze after pressure cooking. Love the idea of putting it through a sieve.

Chef John you are one of my favorite youtube food show thing ever. I always look forward to your videos and I always watch your videos first if I see it in my feed! You're so funny. I remember when I very first started watching I hated how you lengthened your words, but now it's just part of your charm!

"It tastes like celery if celery tasted good"- epic!

I had a go at making the celeriac puree this weekend and enjoyed it with some pork chop. Just finished it and it was absolutely delicious. The straining through the sieve is hard work but certainly worth it. I love the charisma and style of this video - a great uplift to the world's celeriac lovers!

I love the narrative! Doesn’t let you get bored!

The krisskross reference made me want to 'jump, jump'.

I really started to love the cellery root after i just tried it! I haven't eaten it that much, but once i did... WOW its like my favorite vegetable now, its really delicious!

"Optional mandatory step" Good one, Chef John.

optional mandatory step.

My Mother (from Germany) would make a lovely mock tater salad with these. Cube simmer to tender, and commence with making potato salad. She called it Celery Salad. I loved it and even made it for a full family Thanksgiving. My Aunt from Holland loved it too.

If you had to pick only one YT’er to watch forever for recipes, Chef John would be it!

Im from denmark and we use it alot in the autumn for mash or soups and the like. It has a really good taste, but it is hard to describe to someone who hasn't tasted it before. I would have added 25% potatoe to the mash, but that's just me. Try a vegetable soup with 4 large potatoes, 2 small carrots, 2 leeks, 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, a quarter or half (depending on size) of a celeriac, a bouquet garni of fresh thyme and 2 bay leaves and some vegetable stock. Cook it untill it's really tender. Puree it. Strain it. Add some cream. Now cut up some bacon in small pieces and fry it on a pan untill crispy. You are ready to eat. Use the crispy bacon for topping. Bon appetite.

something i will probably never make. didnt stop me from salivating like a mad dog throughout the vid.

OMG I LOVE THIS MAN!!! HIS POP CULTURE COMMENTS ARE AWESOME. I just found this channel and watch 3 epsidoes and fell in love with his show. There's alot stuff I would to try to make
