After a little thought and a little research, I decided on soup. (Of course. 'Cause I love soup, you know?)
Other than picking up a leek from the co-op, I had pretty much everything on hand that I wanted to include in my soup:

In addition to the leek, garlic, celery root, and potato, I also used olive oil, vegetable broth, salt and pepper, and a healthy splash of unsweetened almond milk at the end, for extra creaminess.
Even though the soup looks humble, it was fantastic!

I drizzled a little harissa-infused olive oil over my bowl before slurping, and that just took it over the top. :)
While I can't say that the flavor of the celery root was all that strong, (truthfully, the finished product just tastes like a good, creamy, potato-leek soup,) it was fun to try out a new to me vegetable. Thanks for the inspiration, Dora!

I love celery root! My favorite way to eat it is in this pretty white salad: http://notwithoutsalt.com/2009/11/05/winter-white-salad/.
Kudos for trying something new! And harissa infused oil...yum!
I think people are definitely getting more into giving both produce and homemade foodstuffs. My neighbors have given me cucumbers and tomatoes; I've given big bags of pineapple guavas and homemade schnapps and pickles. The more the better!
I will say that I never know what to do with celery root, though. Your soup looks like a great way to put it to tasty use!
