Turnips even your kid will love!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These turnips were literally the first I've tried in my 34 years on this planet! Boy, was Mario point-on with the red wine... vinegar! As it reduced, and the butter also soaked into the turnips, they slowly started to caramelize and get sweeter and had much more flavor. Wow, with a little bit of crunch left, I could taste the buttery goodness of the turnips while enjoying a slight zip from the vinegar--a perfect combination! Thanks, Mario! Even my daughter ate them!Read more

Wow your guests with this simple turnip recipe...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is now my secret weapon. We grow turnips in our garden and were looking for something new to do with them, and... here it is. This recipe is simple and the results are delicious. I have served these to dinner guests three times and each guest has commented they never enjoyed turnips much before, but love these. Thanks Mario!Read more

This was the worst tasting thing I have had in a long time. What a waste of some good homegrown turnips.

A nice surprise
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I never met a turnip I liked--until now. This is a much better way than the usual mashed versions since the beginning of... time. It adds new texture, color, taste, and eye appeal to what was always an ordinary, blah predictable sidedish. I didn't understand the instruction of "quartering' the turnip as that means giant pieces. I cut and cubed the turnip and that made sense to me. I might parboil the turnip next time just for a few minutes to jump-start it and speed up cooking time. This one's making it to the table on Turkey Day.Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was actually my first time cooking turnips, and this recipe is very tasty. The seeds are toasty and nutty, and the color... of the paprika is beautiful. At the first bite, I didn't know what to expect, but the taste really grew on me quickly. I will definitely make this again.Read more
