| Celery Root |
Having said that I was interested in the celery root. I've seen it in the grocery store but never tried it. When I was checking out the grocery clerk wanted to know all about what I was doing with it and my cooking group. Another convert for Dorie? Maybe!
I went with another unknown, turbot, to serve with the celery root. The fishmonger described it as a pretty mild, fatty fish that was very fresh.

| Celery Root Puree and Pan Fried Turbot It looks so good, I liked it, Gary didn't. |
For Christmas I got a Krups citrus juicer. If you don't have one of these you need to get one! How did I live without it for so many years? I found a recipe for a Citrus Tart and used all orange instead of a combo of citrus. This tart is creamy and custardy with just the right amount of orange. Gary says its the best custard he's ever had and it saved the meal in his eyes!

never had celery root before, but I've worked produce departments before and nobody buys them.
ReplyDeleteoooh that tart looks magical! Maybe I will give it a try this weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy family was quite upset that I messed with "the sacred mashed potato" too, but I enjoyed it. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYeah, mashed potatoes do invoke some strong feelings.
ReplyDeleteYour puree looks great with the fish.
Enjoy your new "toy" and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! At least you liked the meal, and the tart looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least your dessert was a hit! I enjoyed the puree, but I probably won't make it again since only I ate it :) Happy New Year, Guyla!
ReplyDeleteI do all kinds of things with mashed potatoes, and the husband loved this (I didn't). I'm pretty sure I've had turbot before, but it didn't leave much of an impression - sounds like it didn't work so well for you. I guess not all fish can be great! The tart looks terrific, certainly like a meal-saver! Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteThe tart looks wonderful! We don't eat a lot of potatoes in my house, but for some reason, we've had potatoes almost everyday for over a week, now. It all started with this dish. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Your post made me laugh. This wasn't my favorite thing, either, but it was fun to try. Your tart looks amazing though! Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband felt the same way…I loved it! Your tart looks beautiful and delicious!! Enjoy your juicer…I love getting gifts for my kitchen!! Have a Happy, Healthy New Year, Guyla!!
ReplyDeleteGuyla, although your turbot and celery root puree were not quite to your liking, your meal and presentation does look delicious - and the Citrus Tart looks just like my kind of dessert - it looks delectable (so glad you like your KRUPS, they manufacture some wonderful products). I would like to take the opportunity to send you and your family the very best wishes for the new year!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to try it - at least you know now! I'm glad your beautiful citrus tart saved the day. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Guyla, to give celery root and turbot (which I personally like) a try. And, even better that you liked it. No matter what the entree, I agree with your husband - that citrus tart was delicious-looking. I googled your Krups juicer and think it may be perfect for me. As you know, I'm still sticking with Michael's insistence on freshly-squeezed OJ, but I will not admit that my squeezer is very old-fashioned. Thanks for the tip. Thank you for your very lovely comments on my Post this week. I appreciated your words. I want to wish a Happy and Healthy New Year 2013 to you, Gary, your family and that darling little boy.
