Re: How to Make Celery Sticks

Celery is great stuff a must in veg risotto (paired with carrot and other veg) and stir fries etc.
Celeriac is also a decent root veg, not up with spuds, onions, carrots or parsnips but ahead of turnips definitely.

Never been into celery soup though.

Coming back in the second nine; 2 under now with 4 to play. Another birdie (or two) and he's right back up in contention.
