A question about a recipe: Baked Rigatoni with Fontina and Celery Root Puree

ABSOLUTELY! While I'm sure that the milk has a purpose in this recipe, any liquid medium (water = cost effective) would be fine as you are discarding it when the celery root cubes are cooked. So unless you have a future use for celery scented milk (very possible), go ahead and use whatever you have at hand

I think I'd actually prefer chicken stock to milk for cooking the celery root. And then I could use it for a soup!

Of course Rachel, you can use chicken or vegetable stock for cooking the celery root.
