You had me smiling from the get go. Not sure how the celeriac debacle went down, but try this: peel it and cube it, sautee in a bit of olive oil with some chopped onion, if desired. Add water to barely cover. Flavor with curry, cumin, corriander and cardamom. Bring to a boil, then simmer till soft. Pretty darn good (and tastes kinds like potatoes!) Great post, Liz.

And to Richard and Susan, if you can't find kohlrabi in your store, they tend to appear in csa boxes in the summer. And if you live in Brighton Beach as I do, they are available year round. :) Hanna: wow, that may be the one way that my husband would eat beets.

You have shown me the way and I can't wait to try it. I have already put it on the grocery list!

I wish it was easier to find kohlrabi though. I’ve done the slaw before, pretty simple and pretty amazing, and you can switch it up. I wish it was easier to find kohlrabi though.

I plan to test beet marmalade (grated cooked beets, sugar, ginger, lemon) on my family. Terrific, you’d scored!
