It's not dissimilar to fennel in flavour - it has a bitter, aniseed type taste and resembles celery. It's an acquired taste and personally I don't like it. Treat it as a typical root vegetable and roast it or combine it with mashed potato or braise it with honey and stock. It can also be stir-fried. It's available at most good supermarkets.

Tastes similar to celery with the texture of turnip. Treat it as you would a turnip,use it in soups or as a veg. Most good supermarkets or greengrocers will sell it

It has a sort of aniseed flavour. You cook it like turnip. You can buy it in good supermarkets . I saw some in Sainsbury's last week.

It's very like celery. It's lovely in soups and makes a great combination with cooking apples in soups. If your local green grocer hasn't got it in stock they should order it for you.

celeriac is the root of a type of celery,
tastes great, like mild celery, really good in soups, & casseroles, great made into gratin - like dauphinoise, & absolutley brilliant finely shredded blanched & mixed with sauce remoulade as a salad- i love celeriac there should be a fan club.
