The unsung hero of the vegetable world, the knobbly, odd-shaped celeriac has a subtle, celery-like flavour with nutty overtones. Try it as mash, in big-flavoured, slow-cook dishes, or in its classic form, and as they do in France, as a remoulade.

Using a sharp knife, top and tail the celeriac, then use a potato peeler to remove the rhino-tough skin. Expect to discard about a quarter of the celeriac by the time you’ve done this.
Boils in 20 mins, roasts in around 40 mins when cut into rough-shaped chunks.
Recipe suggestions
Celeriac soup is a great winter staple, or try celeriac oven chips for a healthier twist. This root veg works well in creamy dishes, and with cheese – try a celeriac bake with parmesan crumbs for your next roast dinner, or keep things simple with a twist on mash potatoes, like our celeriac champ. Classic remoulade is traditionally served with cold cuts of meat and crusty bread.
In the salad drawer of your fridge. Celeriac discolours quickly once peeled or chopped, so immerse in a bowl of water, after chopping to size, with a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar added (also known as ‘acidulated water’).
Celeriac is available year round but is at its best from September to April.
Learn how to grow your own celeriac from the experts at Gardeners’ World.
Choose a firm root that feels heavy for its size. Avoid those that are discoloured.
Try butternut squash, turnip or swede.

Leon was incredible helping us out with ordering a gift basket for a family in London as a US customer. The baskets are extremely beautiful and reasonably priced. I would 10/10 recommend for an edible gift for your loved ones or as a business gift. Alexandra Szymanska2024-05-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My local go-to fruit&veg shop! ❤️ The most beautiful display, the smell of fresh products, top quality and friendly staff give me the best shopping experience 😍 Going there and picking stunning fruit and vegetables is pure joy! Leon's never disappoints 🙏🏼 Endri Myftari2024-04-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would recommend them 100%. Genuine customer service. My fiancé order a basket for me every 2 years in a row with them from the USA and it was really easy to communicate with them. Last time we ordered my fiancé tried to switch most of the fruits in the basket with other ones and even though they do not offer any custom made basket they still were really nice to help us choose. In the end they also offered a small basket with a variety of tropical fruits for free which got delivered by them personally at 5am in the morning. HONESTLY THIS IS HOW EVERY CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOULD BE! Great family business. Keep it up the good work! Amandeep Kaur2024-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

On the way home we stopped at Golders Green for shopping. Leon's fruit and vegetable store seemed good to us. Outside there was a selection of discounted fruit and vegetables, such as 5 red bell peppers for £1. Inside were beautiful fresh vegetables. We chose large and shiny tomatoes. Long and short cucumbers. Onions, potatoes, lettuce, salad leaves, green onions, mushrooms and more. There was a sale price for strawberries, so we took a few packs. We took beautiful bananas, apples, flat donut peaches for £1. We left with 3 large bags of fine goods. Gila Moran2023-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
