For 1 celeriac, you will need:

1 1 celeriac
Total weight: 1,100 grams

Times for this recipe

Preparation: 15 min.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Put the celeriac on a chopping board; there is no need to wash it.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 1 min.

Take a large knife and slice off the top.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.

Turn the celeriac round and slice off the bottom...

Stage 4

...at least half an inch (1 cm). It is quite hard, so you will need a good large knife.

Stage 5

Stand the celeriac on the cut base and cut away a section of peel from top to bottom.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.

Turn the celeriac slightly and repeat.

Peel the whole vegetable like this.

Discard the peelings, preferably for compost. Wash the chopping board of any dirt left, and dry it. Rinse the peeled celeriac under running water and dry that too.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 1 min.

Cut the celeriac into four lengthways.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 2 min.

Use a small knife to remove the slightly spongy centre from each quarter.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 5 min.

Now cut each quarter into pieces of a suitable size for your recipe: simply in half for grating, or in small pieces for soup, for example.

Stage 10

Cut up all the quarters like this and your celeriac is ready.

Remarks

The fresher the celeriac, the harder it is to cut, so use a really large knife to make this easier.

Once the cut surface is exposed to the air it will start to oxidise and turn brown. If you are not going to use it immediately, wrap the pieces in plastic film and refrigerate, or put them in cold water with the juice of a lemon or, better still, a pinch of vitamin C powder.

Keeping: 1 day in the fridge, protected by cling film.

Clafoutis "Marie-Antoinette"

This "Marie-Antoinette" clafoutis is a lighter version of the traditional fruit-in-batter baked dessert, almost a soufflé, with apples and lemon. The apples are sautéed in butter and Calvados, then combined with a lemon-flavoured confectioner's custard, lightened with raw meringue. This mixture is then baked rapidly in the oven. The result is a very light and delicate dessert with a harmonious blend of apple and lemon flavours.

Macarons (the original French macaroons)

This recipe really is "of the moment": the success of these small, highly-coloured cakes, in an infinite variety of flavours, is impressive. It's a recipe which needs some care, in order to produce a result worthy of a professional pastrychef. No problem, I will guide you through the recipe, particularly the tricky parts. This variety of flavours means that I test many alternatives, so don't be surprised if in the pictures the colour of the macarons changes, I used the best photograph available...
