I’m not sure if I’ve told you yet but I’m training to be a health coach with the amazing Institute for Integrative Nutrition (you can learn more on their YouTube channel).
I only started studying in May but I’ve already learnt so much. Food, health and nutrition have been my lifelong passions, so I’m thrilled to be learning more about holistic health and wellbeing.
Which I believe will enhance my life immeasurably and I hope I can pass on some of my learning’s to you too.
This recipe came about as I was wondering around the supermarket and I was inspired to buy a celeriac the other day, I’ve always loved the flavour but rarely cook with it but I can honestly say that crushed celeriac is a revelation and it’s utterly delicious! Have you tried it before? I can’t rave about it enough, so flavoursome, wholesome and moreish.
When combined with roasted cauliflower & broccoli steaks and a gorgeously tangy green dressing of capers, lemon, gherkins, fresh herbs and garlic, it’s just amazing.
If you don’t like the ingredients in the dressing or would prefer it without that’s no problem–it’s really delicious without as well.
I think this is veggie comfort food at its best, wholesome root veg slow cooked for maximum flavour. I’d love to hear what you think!

Is there any way to reduce the olive oil used? How much is the minimum you’d put in for each section? As it stands there’s 13oo calories in just the oil!

Of course, feel free to reduce the oil used for cooking and the dip.
Love, Niki xReply
