CELERY ROOT PUREE
I joke that celery root tastes like celery if celery actually tasted good; for the most part, this is true. The flavor is quite mild and pleasant, and the texture is somewhat similar to mashed potatoes. This simple puree is a very versatile side dish, but the tasty root will also work sliced thin and layered in a gratin, either with or without potatoes. I hope you give this great fall and winter vegetable a try soon.

CELERY AND WALNUT (OR HAZELNUT) TZATZIKI
Tzatziki, the creamy Greek salad made with cucumber, yogurt and lots of garlic is already one of my favorite dishes, and I think I may like this adaptation made with celery even more. The celery never loses its crunch or distinctive flavor. Walnuts and walnut oil add another dimension, which is nutty and crunchy. You could also try something new and use hazelnuts and hazelnut oil. Serve this as part of a mezze spread, as an appetizer or as a salad.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, heat the oil over a low heat. Tie the thyme sprigs and bay leaves together with a piece of string and add them to the pan with the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 10 mins until softened but not coloured.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more, then tip in the celeriac and potato. Give everything a good stir and season with a big pinch of salt and white pepper. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for around 30 mins until the vegetables are completely soft.
- Discard the herbs, then stir through the cream, remove from the heat and blitz until completely smooth. Stir through 1/2 tbsp truffle oil at a time and taste for seasoning - the strength of the oil will vary, so it's better to start with less oil and add a little at a time.
- To serve, reheat the soup until piping hot, then ladle into bowls and top with the hazelnuts, some black pepper and an extra drizzle of truffle oil.
