Ingredients
Method
Salt Baked Celeriac:
Mix all ingredients in a dough mixer until it combines and comes together then rest in the fridge for one hour. After one hour take it out of the fridge and roll out until 2cm thick. Wrap celeriac completely and bake at 180°c for one hour and 30 mins.
Burnt Apple:
Place apples onto a baking tray and season with olive oil and salt. Bake at 180°c until burnt and dark in colour. Deglaze with vinegar and water then puree until smooth (it should be smooth like ketchup).
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
