    Wonderful recipe. Just watch the shallots--it's not brain surgery.

    I brought this to a Thanksgiving gathering and was asked to bring it back to every family function! I actually bring triple the amount of crispy shallots because my family is nuts about them!! I did burn my first batch as well (: it seems there is a very fine line and only a few seconds between crispy and burnt so watch carefully!

    Be careful not to overcook the shallots-- I ended up burning them and had to leave them out :(
    But even without the shallots, this was amazing- so creamy and delicious! I'm sure the shallots would have made it incredible!!

    These are a family favorite. I used a mandoline to cut the shallots this time, and they turned out better than ever before. The only Thanksgiving side with no leftovers, ever. Serves 8? I don't think so.

    Rutabagas are sometimes called yellow turnips... Probably doesn't hurt to substitute but you won't get the exact same flavor.

    I just picked a few turnips from my garden and used them in the recipe...all I can say is this recipe is going to be used over and over again as I continue to pull in my harvest.

    This was my first experience cooking turnips and I really liked the way it came out. I was surprised by the bitter flavor, the sweetness of the shallots offsets it nicely.

    I couldn't wait to race out to the market to buy turnips for this dish. Wonderful is all I can say about it. Of course, you do have to enjoy this root vegetable to appreciate the dish.

    Ina's recipes are the absolute best. Everytime I use any of her recipes it is a HIT. Made this for christmas for my family and it vanished. The recipe makes a HUGE portion though...I fed 10 people on Christmas and had leftovers. SO for regular dinner you should prbably cut in half...
    Barefoot Contessa rocks!
