About

Celeriac is a beautiful winter vegetable gradually finding favour worldwide. This soufflé is also excellent if made with pumpkin instead of celeriac; it then becomes a classic French dish.

4 tablespoons dry white wine

Method

Simmer the celeriac in the wine, butter, seasoning and celery salt for 20 minutes. Mash coarsely. Heat the kuzo with the milk to make a sauce. Stir in the chestnuts, cheese and egg yolks. Pre-heat the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas mark 7. Whip the whites stiffly and fold in gradually.
