Culinary

I have a celeriac and I suspect a variant of chard (green leaf and stalks). I do have a celeriac and spinach soup recipe but any other suggestions welcome. Celeriac scares me, I confess.

Also, I suspect I'm dropping in iron intake - and statements such as "Good plant sources of iron include dried fruits, whole grains (including wholemeal bread), nuts, green leafy vegetables, seeds and pulses. [...] Iron absorption can also be reduced by tannins (e.g. in tea) and phytates (found in nuts, grain and seeds)" confuse matters.

I'm happy to eat meat but I'm trying to cut down (in fact I'm currently on 1550kC a day regime which works for certain value of works) so any recommendations for intaking iron welcome. Maybe I just need lots of Guinness.
