Soups & stews
Celeriac, potato and chilli soup
Celeriac is picked from October to December keeps up to March or even April. It will last in your fridge for several weeks and has a lovely sweet, nutty taste in soups. Finish this off with a few drops of truffle oil if you have any, or good olive oil if you don't.
