Night record

Planning here works on its own. Once a night starts, it travels between the three tools by itself.

Cooking notes

Celeriac & potato purée

Blended smooth ahead, holds in a low oven bain-marie without splitting. Texture contrast against crisp skin or char Light white or dry cider. Silky purée wants something with grip, not more cream.

Base recipe

This is the base recipe: one batch, 8 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.

What does not scale

Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.

Cooking time
About 30 minutes on the stove at this scale. Bringing a bigger volume up to temperature takes longer than the multiple suggests; the simmer afterwards does not.
Method
  1. Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for celeriac & potato purée, not a certified kitchen test.
  2. Amounts below are one batch: 8 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
  3. This dish can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Cold storage is the real limit — do not make it ahead if the fridge is already tight.
  4. Stovetop occupancy is about 30 minutes at this scale. Bring to a simmer, finish, hold covered.
  5. Holds about 60 minutes once finished. After that, quality drops — do not invent extra time.
  6. Drink pairing: Light white or dry cider. Silky purée wants something with grip, not more cream.
  7. Leftover route: Thins into next-day soup with stock and a squeeze of lemon. Do not re-reduce.
  8. Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Make-ahead

Can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Fridge units: 1 per batch, so 1 batch takes about 1 shelf-thirds while it waits.

Scaling

Base recipe: one batch, 8 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 30 minutes at the stove either way.

Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
