I hope you also include Celeriac & fennel! While Celeriac is horribly expensive in the U.S., I still love it!

I was once served a winter salad in Rome that was simply sliced celery, corn kernels and sliced black olives tossed in a little oil and lemon juice, and topped with shaved parmesan curls. It was colorful, different, and delicious, and I've never forgotten it.

That sounds DELICIOUS! It's not too late to try to replicate the salad and submit it to our Celery contest...:)

Lot of us are not aware the health or medicinal properties of celery seeds , they are very helpful in the form of homemade medicine for gout, arthritis, or muscle cramps and many other problems. I don't like celery seeds as much as the stalks or fresh celery. But, for health reasons do not mind a cup of celery seed tea. Simple and easy....

The kidlets I feed occasionally prefer their "ants" to be chocolate chips. I wish I had been the one who thought of that!
I love celery. and I love to introduce my diners to dishes like Essence of Celery Soup and Braised Celery. They are always surprised.

I'm planning an entire week dedicated to cucurbits in all their forms (melons, cucumbers, summer squash, and more) this summer!

I'm working on reverse engineering a recipe from our recent Portugal trip. It was Gazpacho w cucumber sorbet. While the Gazpacho was good--that cucumber sorbet was divine. Served w the Sorbet, chopped grape & anchovy; the sorbet tasted sweet despite the waiters insistence it was just mint, cukes, lemon, water & ice. Would LOVE to see a recipe like this. Also thinking of a grape sorbet for Ajoblanco. Thoughts, suggestions?

Thank you, Nozlee, for showcasing this under-appreciated veggie! Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of celery, but I'm not a hater either.
Have you guys ever tried lovage?? It's sorta kinda related to celery, but different, in more of an herby way. Made a lovage syrup last summer to pour into prosecco. Yummm.

You're right -- I ran out of space to talk about lovage, which is not related to celery but shares its flavor! My favorite thing about lovage is that it's HOLLOW. You can use them as fancy straws for small drinks! Your lovage syrup sounds...wait for it...lovely. (Pun intended!)

Mrslarkin, thank you for recommending celery- I love the flavor, color, texture, and even the shape- sliced celery is distinctive!

I love celery salads with briny, relishy things like olives and preserved lemon, and the way that cooked celery soaks up all the flavor of a broth or sauce. But it's true! Celery boats or logs or whatever jammed with peanut butter never worked on me as a kid.

A discussion just exploded in our offices about who likes and hates celery! I can't stand the stuff, to be honest, but Miranda loves it.
And if you can believe it, Kristen as a child hated Ants on a Log not for the celery, but for the peanut butter!
