Neither of my parents likes turnips. Thus, as a child, I never had to face the battle of "eat your turnips," since my mom never prepared them (especially since she remembers the way HER mother used to sneak mashed turnips into the mashed potatoes).
About a month ago, my landlord invited me over to each lunch with his family and what he served contained - among other things - turnips and I thought they were delicious. After that, though, every time I looked for turnips in the supermarket, they were out of them
Until today.
Today, they finally had some and I bought some, but now I'm wondering about good ways to use them without just making them an afterthought add-in to soups, New-England Boiled Dinners or mashed potatoes.
I've already seen Daphne's gratin (from the Pioneer Woman) and would love to give that I try sometime when I can afford Gruyère.
In the same thread, I've also seen Roxanne's Whipped Turnip Puff recipe and MUST try that.
How ELSE do you guys like to prepare turnips so that they really become the star of the dish and not just an addendum?
P.S.: If you do have some recipes to share, please consider posting them in the "CAH Forum" group over at GroupRecipes. Once you post a recipe and add it to our group, then Jean or I will approve it so it will actually show up in the group's recipe list. GR is a really neat free resource and I'd love to see us use it more.

If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?
