Do some of you clever cooks have wonderful recipes for using this part of the vegetable - apart from just leaving it on and cooking it with the rest of it.

White sauce or mustard sauce, makes for a nice side vege :o)

cook separately with salt and lemon - keeps it white - if yours tends to go black try changing the knife then recombine with the green to serve - cream sauce and nutmeg recommended.

I chop it up and eat it raw in salad instead of celery
