About

A cheese rarebit is a peculiarly English dish that dates back at least to the time of Shakespeare. I came across this 18th-century recipe for blue cheese rarebit in an old cookery book. I like to make it with one of my favourite cheeses, Scottish Dunsyre Blue.

Ingredients

675 g (1½ lb) celeriac, peeled & cut into batons 10 x 2 x 2 cm (4 x ¾ x ¾ in)
