Turmuric is commonly used in Asian food and is the main spice in curry. It has a warm, bitter taste and is used to flavour or colour curry powders, mustards, butters, and cheeses.

Use turnips the same way you would use a potato. Try them baked or boiled in stews, soups and stir-fries, or lightly steamed with some butter, salt or lemon juice for flavour.
