Baby Bok ChoyBaby bok choy reaches only 10-15cm in length and is perfect for quick cooking, such as steaming, but is also delicious braised, stir fried (think tofu, mushrooms, or beef with baby bok choy in an unctuous sauce), wilted or used in soup. The white stems of fresh baby bok choy are so tender, that they can enjoyed raw in salads. Wash bok choy well, taking care to separate the leaves, as dirt can be trapped between the stems.
CeleriacCeleriac is a variety of celery which forms an enlarged, solid, edible tuber just below the soil’s surface. The tuber is brownish white in colour and has a gnarled appearance. The leaves and thin stalks are similar to celery, although are slightly darker in colour. Celeriac tastes like a mild form of celery and parsley combined and, when cooked, has the consistency of carrots and other similar vegetables. It is ripe for the market basket in Australia between March and December and can be stored in the crisper of the refrigerator for up to a month, but it's best not to wash it before storage.
