    This recipe elevates the lowly turnip to dinner party status. Absolutely delicious! Served it to friends with slow roast belly pork, roast potatoes, sweetheart cabbage with bacon and hot buttered beetroot. The turnips were the star of the show!

    Sounds nice, but I'm not sure how it can be 'ready in 30 minutes' if it takes 40-50 minutes to cook!
