CELERY ROOT, POTATO AND APPLE PURéE
Classic celery root and potato purées combine two parts potatoes with one part celery root. I've reversed the proportion here for a lighter purée that also incorporates apple - the "secret ingredient." Rather than milk, I usually use the broth from the celery root and apples.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in one saucepan and the celery root and apples in another. Barely cover with water and add salt to taste to each, about 1/2 teaspoon. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes, and return to the pot. Cover tightly, and allow to sit for five minutes to steam and dry out. Drain the celery root and apples through a strainer set over a bowl. Purée all of the produce using a food mill or a potato ricer. Stir together, and whisk in the milk or the broth until the mixture is fluffy. Add the butter or walnut oil to the hot purée, stir until the butter melts, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

CELERY ROOT AND APPLE PUREE
Celery root or celeriac has a much milder flavor than its more common varietal cousin, bunch celery. Like jicama, it is very versatile and can be served raw cut into matchsticks for dipping or tossed in a light dressing or cooked into all manner of dishes. This preparation features celery root pureed with crisp, sweet Fuji apples.

Steps:
- In a 2-quart saucepan, combine 3 cups of the apple juice, the cinnamon stick, and the bay leaf and bring to a boil. Add the celery root and cook for 15 minutes, until the liquid is reduced to a slightly thick syrup.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Add the apples, the remaining apple juice, and the vinegar and cook 5 to 7 minutes more, or until the liquid is completely reduced. Spoon the mixture into the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right celery root. Look for a celery root that is firm and heavy for its size.
- Peel the celery root carefully. Use a sharp knife to remove the skin without cutting into the flesh.
- Cut the celery root into small pieces. This will help it cook more evenly.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the celery root. This will give you a smooth and creamy puree.
- Season the puree to taste. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other spices to taste.
- Serve the puree immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.
