Ingredients: 1 medium celery root, about 400g, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks; 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock; 1 bay leaf; 4 black peppercorns; Fine sea salt; 1 tbsp unsalted butter; 1 small garlic clove, minced; 100g pork jowl, cut into small cubes (or substitute pancetta); 4 large sage leaves, plus extra for frying; 4 slices dense country bread, each ½ inch thick; 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil; ⅓ cup crème fraîche; ½ lemon; 2 tbsp walnut oil; Fleur de sel and cracked black pepper; 1 tbsp Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely shaved

Thin slices of country bread are toasted until golden, then topped with a silky celery root purée spiked with crispy pork jowl, a dollop of house-made crème fraîche, crispy sage, and a whisper of walnut oil. This is sophisticated comfort—a true interplay of texture and earthy refinement.
