Turnips may not have a glamorous reputation, but small, young turnips and their green leafy tops are secretly gourmet vegetables.
They’re one of the less troublesome members of the Brassica family to grow, and can be picked as needed all through the winter months. Delicious simply cooked as a side vegetable, or added to winter stews.
