    This requires a fair amount of Turnip and it's well tasty.

    My mum used to do chopped carrots and turnips mixed up together as part of Sunday lunch. It was delicious so it may be worth a go if you have carrots.

    Hi there,

    I took the plunge and ordered my first organic veg box - it has 4 turnips in it - something I sometimes buy one of and put in soup or a stew. Does anyone have any slightly more exciting ideas for turnips?

    Thanks in advance

    ;)

    I sometimes mash up turnips with spuds and use for topping shepherds pies etc, use about 40% turnip to 60% spud so its not too strong

    I may do that - as I have too many spuds as well. I fancy something a bit more summery (I don't think that is a real worg) perhaps I could make mash and then make little potato and turnip cakes and fry them - might be nice with salad.
