  1. Absolutely lovely recipe. PLEASE be sure to pare your kohlrabi carefully as the outside is very woody & nasty. I also used dried tarragon & a splash of cream at the end. Delightful. Except for the tough edges. :(
     
  2. Very good. A friend gave us a large kohlrabi from her garden. I'd never had one before but after trying this recipe, I'll be having it again. I used dried tarragon and didn't use the cream as some other reviewers suggested - still tasted great. Thanks, Wasyetz, for sharing this recipe with us first-time kohlrabi eaters.
     
  3. Very yummy! We joined a CSA this year and have been inundated with not only new vegetables but tons of everything (not that I'm complaining ;-) This week kohlrabi was in the box along with more overwintered parsnips. I added a couple of potatoes, onions, and garlic all sliced thin...it was wonderful! I took the tip from another reviewer and added a dash of 1/2 and 1/2 at the end. Also, I didn't have any tarragon but I did have several other fresh herbs in the garden so I took a handful of a variety of them and added them at the end! Delish!
     
  4. This was soooo yummy! I received some kohlabi from a farm co-op program I joined and wasn't sure just what to do with it. I'm so glad I tried this. This may become my favorite side dish. So simple yet so good.
     
  5. Excellent!! I followed the directions and it was a wonderful side dish! The only thing I did different was added a tiny bit of cream to the "sauce" to serve!! Thank you for posting this recipe!!

I am a transplant to the Deep South from the Great State of Iowa. I am a housewife who loves to go cook, backpack, and garden. There are three gardens at my house and I enjoy tending to them all. There is something spectacular about growing your own food. My favorite cookbook would have to be "The Joy of Cooking." Whenever I need to know the basics of a recipe or skill I check there. Other than that I love to read recipes wherever I can find them and have a very creative mind. I have a degree in English and spend large amounts of my time reading and writing, yet...I love to cook. :)
