Fennel

Sauteed Fennel

One of the most delicious things I have found to eat is Fennel.  It is delicious raw, but the best way is lightly browned in butter!  It reminds me of celery, but much more satisfying and tasty.  I recommend using it in any dish that calls for celery.  I'm thinking back to those times that I remember tasting celery in a soup or stew and thinking, "Wow, that celery is good!"  and now I know that it had to have been Fennel.  I like celery, but Fennel has a class and richness to it that cannot compare.
