It’s mid-winter here in New Zealand and the organic supermarket is full of celeriac and fennel, two vegetables that go well together in a kind of rustic French way. Celeriac is one of those underrated but highly versatile vegetables that often gets shunned for it’s rather unelegant apperance. It’s not the root of celery as it’s name suggests but kind of like a cousin, similar in flavour but a little more nutty. With the fennel, lemon and celeriac, this whole dish is very high in vitamin C. Mother Nature sure knows how to look after us by providing produce that’s high in flu-fighting properties during the winter. It’s also pretty high in magnesium, phosphorus and vitamin K. Make sure to use the zest of the lemon as well as the juice to give the risotto that wonderfully fragrant flavour. Yum.

6. Yeah celery is quite
Yeah celery is quite different, if you had to substitute I'd probably try something like young turnips or cauliflower instead and maybe blend a half stalk of celery into the sunflower mixture for flavour.
This is celeriac, it's usually a winter vegetable - http://www.taste.com.au/images/articles/celeriac06261152.jpg
