Turnip Gratin With Cider, Cream and Bacon
"Another response to an unfamiliar vegetable in the veg box... in Scotland 'turnip' usually means yellow/orange swedes, but on this occasion I got purple top white turnips delivered. Also a good example of why keeping double cream and decent bacon in the storecupboard is a good idea!"
