FAQ

What is celeriac mash and how is it made?
Celeriac mash is mashed celery root. It’s cooked until soft and mashed with a little butter or oil and a splash of milk or a dairy-free alternative.
Is cod a healthy choice for this dish?
Yes. Cod provides lean protein and pairs well with the earthy celeriac. Choose sustainably sourced cod when possible.
Can I make this dairy-free or vegan?
Yes. For dairy-free, use olive oil or a dairy-free spread and dairy-free milk. For vegan, replace cod with a plant-based protein like tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas.
Can I prepare this dish in advance?
Yes. You can prep the components ahead (mash and cod) and reheat them gently before serving.
How should I store leftovers?
Cool quickly and refrigerate within two hours. Store in an airtight container and use within 1–2 days.
What allergens are present?
Fish (cod) is present; dairy may be present if butter or milk is used. Check all ingredients.
Can I substitute cod with another fish?
Yes. Other white fish such as haddock, hake, or pollock can be used with similar results.
How can I boost fiber or make it gut-friendly?
Keep the celeriac skin on for extra fiber, add more vegetables, or serve with a whole grain to vary fiber sources.
What should I serve with this dish?
A light side salad or steamed greens and a simple grain like brown rice or quinoa work well.
