  • Celery

    Dear Nigella team, I have a question about celery. In many recipes you need to use a stick of celery. I'm not sure what is meant by this. In Holland you have two types of celery, one is like a herb, small sticks with grean leaves, one is much bigger, it is mainly light green sticks, with a bit of green leaves sometimes. Which one is the one that you need to use in the recipes? Thank you very much!
