 ===Cooking turnips===
-Old turnips neeed to be peeled but young ones can just be scrubbed with a pan scourer. Top and tail them and boil with [[potatoes]] until you can get a knife into them.  Make [[mashed potatoes]] using 50/50 [[potatoes]] and turnips. They can be cooked with [[carrots]] but need to be cut about the same thickness.  Grate young turnips over a [[salad]] for a sweet crunch.  [[Roast] them with [[roast potatoes]], again keeping the sizes similar.
