The flavors were great, but I couldn't help but notice that it was really liquidy. I was hoping that the cream would thicken up a bit? <br /><br />Any advice?<br /><br />Thanks! (You are great. I've made a bunch of your recipes, and my husband always asks, "Where'd you find this?" And I reply, "It's a Wendy." And he goes, "Ooh.

You might want to try them chopped and steamed, with a sauce bechamel and some freshly grated nutmeg - delicious. Children usually love it, too. Mine do, anyway!Meikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-89967593050857730352011-01-15T21:28:18.921-08:002011-01-15T21:28:18.921-08:00I just love reading these.

Due to some unfortunate weather, our supply was diminished, but we still had a few weeks to enjoy it. Our favorite recipe was a kohlrabi-apple slaw. It was fairly simple to make-you shred or matchstick-cut the kohlrabi (once peeled), mix with equal part matchstick cut apple, and add in shredded carrot if you like. Then make a slaw dressing from your favorite mayo with some cider vinegar and lemon juice. I added in finely chopped fresh sage and rosemary along with the salt and pepper. It was so delicous, fresh and juicy! I can't wait for our next CSA season to start back up so I can get some more!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628993253461034287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-41483014129500327022011-01-14T03:50:14.265-08:002011-01-14T03:50:14.265-08:00Hi!

The first ever recipe I made with kohlrabi is the Dutch Split Pea Soup:<br /><br />http://dutchfood.about.com/od/soups/r/TraditionalDutchSplitPeaSoup.htm<br /><br />The original recipe has pork meat but I think that potatoes and croutons are a valid vegetarian alternative. <br /><br />valentinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-51859627714397032011-01-13T16:31:19.131-08:002011-01-13T16:31:19.131-08:00Love kohlrabi!

However, I can only remember eating it raw, I don't think we ever cooked with it. It was one of those things I didn't realize was different than everyone else until I started school and friends would come over for dinner and such. I love kohlrabi, to me it tastes like broccoli stems only with a sharper taste.L.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10831974674266593557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-8361248161053202592011-01-13T12:44:13.804-08:002011-01-13T12:44:13.804-08:00Kohlrabi definitely looks intriguing.

My mother likes to add it julienned to stir fries and minced in with stuffing for wontons, dumplings, and spring rolls.
