This sounds delish. Do you have the calorie count for it.

this sounds really good, but I'm a guy and don't know what a couple of the ingredients are and am not a cooking veteran.

Celeriac
Bacon Lardons
Heat the olive oil on the hob?

Also, I'm guessing I can find a converter to ounces on line.

I counted at 450 calories per serving.

To tdonlin:- ref ingredients, Celeriac is kind of like a white coloured turnip, I am sure any root vegetable would work just as well. Bacon Lardons are the chopped up little bacon bits you can buy in a pack, and with regards to cooking, you actually start the cooking on the hob/stove/gas ring. So place the casserole dish on a medium heat and first put the olive oil in the dish before the meat and other ingredients. Hope this helps, may be my British language and phrases that are strange. I hope you enjoy it
