    Turnip Gratin. I used ginger beer instead of cider which made it slightly sweet and I sprinkled cheese over and used fromage fraise instead of cream. It was wonderful

    Tasted absolutely fantastic wth freshly harvested white turnip. The only change I made was to use thick cut smokey back bacon,which gave a lovely rich flavour.

    Before I made this recipe I did not like turnips but they turned up in my organic box so thought I would give it a go. Really glad that I did, we loved this, the flavours were amazing and will definitely be using again.
