Okay, this is a really easy one. I ate this when staying at a hotel and attempted it myself keeping it as simple as possible to start with. Anyway, this is my take on it. I usually use a slow cooker but it works just fine in a normal pan.

Ingredients
One shallot, diced
Two cloves of garlic, diced
500g celeriac, roughly chopped
200g apple (something tart, I use Granny Smiths), peeled & chopped
1L vegetable stock (or chicken)

Method
Fry the onion and garlic in a little oil (I use rapeseed) until translucent.
Transfer to the slow cooker (or pan)
Fry the celeriac and apple in a little butter for a few minutes in batches.
Add to the pan.
Add the stock and cook until celeriac has softened (c. 20 mins on hob or 4 hours low in SC).
Blitz until smooth ( I use blender but a stick blender should be fine).
Season to taste.
Enjoy.

FBG(06:30) -8.1
 

6.3 this morning at 0640hrs......nurses dictate testing times.........Fast continued till 0940hrs when I had a typical hospital breakfast of bran flakes,milk,wandered sprinkles plus 2 Brown bread with butter

Cappuccino plus two flat white coffees before pre lunch reading of 8.1 at 1135hrs
 
Blood glucose was 5.8 last night 2 hours after dinner (2050), then I cheated and had 2 chocolate chip cookies and 1/2 glass of 2% milk at 2230. This morning at 0640 my blood glucose was 6.4, proving that one cannot eat chocolate chip cookies at night and expect decent overnight fasting blood sugars. My overnight fasting should be in the mid 5s or high 4s (personal target) and useless fact #72, still had 3/4 cup of Honey Nut Cheerios with milk for breakfast. Have been largely successful at eliminating most of the bad carbs from my diet, although I did try a half shot of Sambuca on Sunday (yummy but a real no-no), and have been tracking blood sugars and blood pressure in an Excel spreadsheet. I can see my progress since Mar 08 and am very surprised to see overnight fasting blood glucose go from low 10s to 6s, 5s and below (once) in only 1 month. I am not doing the Keto thing but basically low carb with a few instances of falling off the wagon, I'll try harder! Thanks all for being here...
