You can't have Mirepoix without celery.

I don’t think I’ve ever had this 🥹 I suppose it’s good for something. Crunchy green water 😭
The entirety of French and most Italian cuisine would be in shambles without celery. 😅
Damn, 👀 I didn’t know it was so important 🤔 does it reaaaaaalllyyy add much flavour though? If we replaced it with fennel would it make a huge difference ? - genuine question 😂 I suck at cooking but I know you’re a chef 🙏🏽
It's surprising, but yes, it does actually make a difference and add that much flavor. If you replaced it with fennel, you would get an entirely different flavor.
If I lived in the U.K., I would show you a side-by-side of a sauce made with a normal mixture, and then one with fennel, you would immediately taste the difference.
Although personally, I definitely agree with you that by itself celery is pretty meh. But in terms of cooking with other things as a whole, it's important.
I feel like I’m talking to ratatouille 🥹🫂 very cool. Huh, so I supposed cooked celery is rather important 🤔 raw celery is still rubbish though 😭.
Aw man that actually sounds like so much fun 🔥🫂 someone should do a sauce tasting event here where you have to guess the ingredients- I would definitely go. I would fail, but it would be fun 🤩
