Turnip Souffle image

ALTHOUGH my grandmother lived in the city, she always tended a large vegetable garden. Toward the end of summer, we helped her pick the vegetables for our favorite dishes. Like most kids, we didn't care much for turnips, but when Grandmother fixed them this way, we'd ask for seconds. -Dorothy Dick, St. Louis, Missouri
