Lovage is a plant similar in appearance and gusto to celery. Many parts of the lovage plant are used to flavor food including the leaves, seeds, fruit, and roots. The lovage vegetable is eaten both raw and cooked. In Copenhagen, Chef Rene Redzepi of Noma prepares a vintage potato and whey served with lovage and Prastost cheese. On the menu at Boston's Toro is an escabeche composed of marinated Island Creek oysters with grains of paradise, lovage and citrus. At Poppy in Seattle, an appetizer of fried salt spring mussels is paired with lovage. There's no reason to not love lovage.
