Texture of celery. Raw, it tastes and smells like anise. I know some people eat it raw, but most will saute it in olive oil, or add it to stews and the like. Its raw/whole state is that of a bulbous celery bunch. Once cooked, I didn't notice much of the anise flavor, which I appreciated!

I was chopping it for use in this braised short ribs dish. Once cooked the flavor is more subtle and melds nicely with the other veggies in your dish.

Here's a pic of the fennel as you buy it. This was my first time cooking with it. You can use it all - bulb, stems and "leaves".

Doesn't look like too many people like their vegetables... I bet you'd have a better response with desserts! ;)

Had to go back a couple of years to find this one...my summer garden on Sodus Bay.

Just a very tiny garden that we could manage with only weekend attention...a few tomato plants, some basil and lots of marigolds and other flowers. :)
