We like it in all of the above and in stirfrys.
When I get it home I do what I call process it. I cut all the nice pieces into about 10cm lengths, these go washed into an icecream container and my girls have them in their lunches or after school snacks, or i slice them further for stir fry. The tops and the smaller bits and the core I slice into soup size pieces and freeze in about the amount I want when making a big pot of soup. Then just pop it in frozen... Then all the fuss, bother, washing is done all at one and none of the celery is ever wasted.

mmm, rainrain, you have just given me an idea for luncheon sandys for a birthday next week. I LIVE celery and cheese sandys. could eat 1/2 doz at a time. Ialso add chopped celery to a pork casserole, seems to give it a nice flavour. never beef tho.

If you have a toastie machine, chopped celery, sliced olives and grated cheese are a delicious hot combo.

I chop mine into small pieces and freeze it.
I add it to any casseroles, soups, stews, mince dishes.

My lovely Dad, who would eat almost anything, detested celery. He loved asoup which was largely kumara and celery - which my clever mother called green velvet soup - he had no idea. She also made the real green velvet soup, and I suppose had to think of another name for it.
