The Creations


Celery Root-Chestnut Mash with Herbed Beets

With the use of Melissa's Peeled & Steamed Baby Beets and Peeled & Steamed Chestnuts, this sidedish was a snap to make.

Ingredients

Mash
  • 1 celery root, peeled and cubed (approximately 3 C)
  • water
  • 1 package Melissa's Peeled & Steamed Chestnuts (approximately 2 C chestnuts)
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 1/4 C chicken stock
  • 2 T butter
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • Also needed: food processor or immersion blender
Topping
  • 1 package Melissa's Peeled & Steamed Baby Beets (approximately 2 C beets), quartered
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 t balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 C fresh parsley, chopped

Procedure
Place celery root in a pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until fork tender, approximately 20 minutes. Drain and set aside. In batches, process cooked celery root and chestnuts in the bowl of a food processor or with an immersion blender. Add in garlic and butter. Pour in chicken stock and pulse until desired texture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

In a medium mixing bowl, toss together topping ingredients. Set aside until ready to serve.

To serve, spoon celery root-chestnut mash into a serving platter. Top with beets. And serve immediately.

When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
