Cooking the Celery Root
  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.

  3. Using a food processor, box grater, or mandoline, slice the celery root into thin strings.

  6. Let it cool in the ice water for 5 minutes.
  7. Remove the celery root from the ice water bath and place it in a bowl. Toss the blanched celery root with the white vinegar, then strain it and let it air dry for a few minutes. I use paper towel to make sure it's completely dry.
