DRINKS
Celeriac has an earthy bitterness that can be heightened by acidity, so it's best to avoid high-acid white wines, especially those with a lighter body. An oaked white, such as Lamothe-Bouscaut Pessac-Léognan or Drouhin’s Côte de Beaune, complements well, adding a buttery note to pair with the umami of the creamed mushrooms. For a non-alcoholic option, try a glass of OddBird.
SIDES
Crispy Comté Sprouts – The crunchy sprouts with Mornay sauce add a cheesy richness that balances the umami of the creamed mushrooms.
Truffled Cauliflower au Gratin – The earthy truffle flavour pairs well with the celeriac, enhancing its overall depth.
Salt-baking is an ancient cooking technique, dating back to 1644, when people used it to bake meats, both to enhance flavour and preserve them.
