I've gone from despising turnips (& refusing to even look at them) to really falling in like with them and enjoy trying them every which way but had never heard of nor would have imagined something like your Grandmas Turnip Puff. Sounds and looks amazing. I MUST TRY it! (And now what to do with that half-eaten stale baguette.)
This really looks delicious. I'm a big fan of turnips, but I never know exactly what do to with them. I'm excited to try this recipe. Good luck in the contest - you'd get my vote.
