I totally agree. I find that they are to celery what the zest of a citrus fruit is to that fruit: a more intense version of what you normally have. Whenever I get head of celery, the first thing I do is strip off the leaves and put them in a zipper bag. Then, I use them as you indicate here. But, I've always used them as a finisher. I will have to try them in the base of a recipe as you suggested in the rest of your post.
Smoothies, breads, soups, sauces
Same here!!!
Morning. How well does sharing with other work colleagues work for you? I was vegetarian prior to becoming vegan (plus eggs only from my chickens) and even then it was difficult. I noted from another thread that you said you were vegan. My lot were meat eaters through and through and unless it was cake or cookies wouldn't eat any odd what I cooked, with one exception of a contractor during a migration one summer that was exceptionally busy and often overran. If I wasn't home for evening meal (and I started work at 8am often earlier) hubby would bring in the food hot along with plates, cutlery and drinks and we'd all eat. Then he'd go and we'd carry on as though nothing had happened.
