method
1. Cook the celery in the minimum of water in a covered pan until really soft, about 30 minutes. Remove the lid and boil to evaporate the water completely.
2. Puree the celery with the cream and cheese until smooth. Cool slightly and beat in the egg yolks and black pepper. Whisk the egg whites until standing in stiff peaks and fold into the celery puree.
3. Lightly grease a 1.4 litre (2 1/2 pint) souffle dish and turn the mixture into it. Cover with greased foil.
4. Put into a steamer over boiling water, cover and steam for about 30 minutes. Serve at once dusted with Parmesan.
