To de-thread or not de-thread (celery) - that is the question!

'Tis Nobler in my mind to de-thread!
Celery is a wonderful ingredient, it helps add a depth of flavour to savory dishes as well as crunch and texture to salads. However, I sometimes find people saying that they are not keen on celery and when you probe a little deeper, it's the threads that they don't like.
De-threading celery may seem to be a faff, but all you need is a vegetable peeler!  Peel the outer ribs of celery as though you were peeling a carrot and in a few seconds, you will have de-threaded celery.
Why bother?  Well, de-threaded celery makes smoother soups, improves the textures of stews and casseroles and makes salads crunchier.  Do give it a try the next time you cook with celery and see if it's a minute or less of time well invested!
