Fennel is much like celery, with a mild licorice flavor. Other names
for fennel include anise and finocchio. Popular in Italian cooking,
fennel adds an unexpected flavor dimension to salads, sauces,
and sautés. The stems, leaves, and “bulb” are all used. The “bulb”
of fennel is technically a group of expanded leaf sheaths, and
grows above ground, not below ground. Fennel can be used raw
or cooked. When cooked, it becomes sweet and tender. It can be
braised, added to soups, or roasted with root vegetables.
