Doesn't this look good enough to eat... or something. Kohlrabi is an unusual vegetable to grow, mainly because no one has a) heard of it or b) know what to do with it when they have grown it. Fear not, your intrepid allotmenteers have grown not one, but two whole rows and can now admit that we have no idea whatsoever what we are going to do with it. We have read that it tastes like a cross between water chestnuts with a touch of radish, and celeriac. It can be grated raw in a salad, par boiled stir fried, stuffed whole or fried like chips. However, we are not so sure, after all it is purple for heaven's sake ! We are going to make soup with it from a recipe we have found on a site that has lots of recipes for kohlrabi which is http://www.scholes-ltd.co.uk/. Very interesting....
