Celeriac cream with saffron and hazelnuts

Curious encounters are happening to me…

I must confess, recently on the way to the office I always meet him …

There’s a game of looking but every time  I look the other way pretending not to see him .

Last time, I confess, I gave in: because I know you look so hard outside but I really wanted to know how you look inside too and tanks to our weekly encounter finally I discovered  how  delicious is you heart my dear celeriac.

Delicious yes, with saffron and hazelnuts!
