    I'm the cook in a family of five, and I insist in cooking with mainly fresh ingredients. In order for the work not to get out of hand during the week, I use three requirements: it must be relatively quick to make, it must be healthy and it must be delicious. Your recipe definitely fulfills all three. Merci pour la recette. Elle est vraiment délicieuse !

    I cooked this recipe as soon as I saw the video. It was great - I really loved how tender the fennel was, and how the tomatoes burst open and mixed their juice with the olive oil and fennel. Its going to be a regular recipe in my food plan from now on. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow - I have cooked fennel before, but this was the best one I ever had! Really delicious - and ashamingly easy to make. I found some Olive Ciabatta in my supermarket, roasted some slices in a pan and rubbed them with some garlic (Bruschetta style) - and then of course put the bread slices in to the oven form to soak up all of the oily goodness in there. Such a great little lunch meal! Thanks for the recipe - you totally made my day/lunch! :-)

      Here's one that's MUCH more odd, and so delicious. Have a try some time. I've tried several recipes that use mayonnaise, but this one is much better and still the best.
      Celery Root Salad (Richard Olney)
      (Celeriac Remoulade)
      Adapted from The French Menu Cookbook by Richard Olney
      Known in France as Celeriac Remoulade, as Richard Olney referred to it, and Céleri-Rave à la Sauce Moutarde, as it’s known in Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child, et al.
      Juice of 1 lemon
      1 tablespoon strong Dijon mustard
      A pinch of salt
      Fresh-ground black pepper
      1 cup heavy cream
      2 celery roots
      Finely chopped flat leaf parsley (optional)
      Notes:
      • If making a larger batch and not using the celery root right away, fill a bowl with water and stir in the juice of one lemon to make acidulated water, then add the celery roots immediately after peeling them to keep them from oxidizing and turning brown.
      Yield: Serves 2-4 as a side dish
      1. In a large bowl, make the sauce first by adding the juice of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, and fresh-ground black pepper, and stirring to combine; then stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and mix the sauce thoroughly with a fork.
      2. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, balancing the salt and acid with the richness of the cream, to your taste. (If it seems slightly too salty, add a little more cream, but it’s best to start with less salt and add more if needed later).
      3. Next, peel the brown outer skin of the celery roots to completely remove it (then rinse under the faucet and place in the acidulated water, if using [I don’t usually bother with it]).
      4. Cut each celery root into quarters, then use the food processor with the 2 mm julienne blade to cut them into julienne strips. (Alternatively you can grate them into strips that should be about the width of a matchstick.)
      5. Next, add the “matchsticks” of celery root to the bowl with the sauce, fold into the sauce, then stir to coat thoroughly.
      6. Let sit (unrefrigerated) for ½ hour to allow the flavors to marry (it’s still good if you skip this step and eat it right away), then sprinkle the top with chopped parsley (if using) and serve (or plate each serving individually and sprinkle the parsley on the individual servings on each plate).

But, I like the idea of blanching too which I can't wait to try. Never thought of using little tomatoes. Can't wait to do that too! Many thanks! :)

    Fennel is fabulous! I have always liked it but it is a little bit much to just chow down like celery without a little preparation. This is deliciously simple but I was thinking might would be even better with carrots and red potatoes, maybe even corn and lima beans or edamame, like a bit of a succotash. We get hours-fresh deep pink plankton-stuffed wild salmon here - we are known for our salmon sport fishing - and you're so right about that being a perfect protein to go with this. The sweet fish would be great with the anise flavor of the fennel.
    Roasted fennel is also really good with fried eggs and bacon for breakfast.

I guess the blanching part is not very neccessary for me at least - I'd just put it in the oven right away after chopping and seasoning

    I don't like to remove the outer leaves -- you're tossing out a lot of fennel if you do that, which can be expensive. Instead, I scrape off "untidy" parts from the outer layer with a carrot peeler. If the outer leaves become detached from the core when you quarter the bulb, just skewer it with a toothpick to hold it together.

    4:33 Temperature conversions are tricky when it comes to ovens. I see most people convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit and forget to round the temperature to the appropriate number. Most ovens don't have increments of single digits. Ovens that are made in Celsius often have 10º increments, and ovens made in Fahrenheit often have increments of 25º. So if your recipe says 200ºC the conversion should be 375ºF or 400ºF, not 396º. You will not find an oven that has that temperature so specific.
