To begin preparing your celeriac, or celery root, you will first want to slice off the top and bottom so that it is stable on your work surface. Next, you will need to slice down the sides to remove all of the skin. Give it a quick wash to make sure you remove all of the dirt and then your celeriac is prepared and ready to cook.
