I have no idea

If you use the search button at the top right hand side of the Forum Page and choose "advanced" put in the text in red ---> kohl* and then at the bottom of the page click on the Show posts thing.

You'll get a list of a few posts which cover (loosely) roasting, boiling in milk, and stir fry's which could give you a start

Kohlrabi should be peeled and can be eaten raw [grated ] or chopped and boiled ,like carrots.We grow both the green and the purple ones and often have them mashed with butter and either some nutmeg or pepper.
