This recipe comes from "Bohemian San Francisco: Its Restaurants and Their Most Famous Recipes," written by Clarence Edmonds (printed 1914). Edmonds recalls a feast he enjoyed in 1906, just weeks after the earthquake and ensuing fire that destroyed much of San Francisco. The occasional was the annual meeting of Merchants Association of San Francisco and was held at the St. Francis Hotel. Edmonds was most impressed with the quality of the food despite "the crumbling walls and charred and blackened timbers hidden under a mass of bunting and foliage and flowers." When he decided to write the book, he returned to the hotel and asked its head chef, Victor Hertzler, for his best recipe. He offered two, Sole Edward VII (recipe #431039) and Celery Victor (recipe #431040).

6 celery hearts or celery
1/2 cup wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried parsley (use fresh if you like, about 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 pinch cayenne
lettuce leaf
2 tablespoons capers

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp celery: The quality of your celery will greatly impact the final dish. Look for celery that is bright green, firm, and has no blemishes.
  • Cut the celery into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing.
  • Don't overcook the celery: Celery should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked celery will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Celery is a versatile vegetable that can be seasoned in many different ways. Try using salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika to add flavor.
  • Get creative with your toppings: Celery Victor is a great dish to experiment with different toppings. Try adding crumbled bacon, chopped walnuts, grated Parmesan cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
