Received a beautiful fennel (bulb with ferns) yesterday. Baked the bulb mostly as you suggested, alongside some gifted peppers. Will add this veg to my repertoire.

would it be weird to combine fennel bulb with fennel seeds in a stew? we’re about to find out! 1st time cooking fennel bulb and I am mildly excited. That’s what’s so fun about cooking, lots of chances to taste, explore, modify.

In reply to Mary. Trader Joe’s has the best price: 2 bulbs for $3.95 Kroger and Giant Eagle also has them.

In reply to Mary.

Hi Mary — probably depends where you live.
In northern California, you can get it in the grocery store or at farmers markets.
Hopefully you can find it near where you are. It is most common in spring and summer as that is its growing season.

In reply to Mrs Deirdre Phillips.

Yes, I steam it like celery for about 15 to20 minutes. Add a little cheese sauce if you like.
