Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Easy way to cook turnips, as others have said. The Diavola Butter is tasty but very hot, so only used a bit and added some plain butter to ease the heat. A good low carb side dish. Liked these better cold the next day as a snack. Could add to a salad, maybe?

    This is a quick easy way of cooking turnips. This is my second time making this recipe and they turned out great - really neutral and mild. The butter is a strong flavor - I liked it, but I'd go for a different one next time.

    This was my first time cooking turnips and I didn’t know what to expect in terms of flavor, etc. Steaming the turnips yielded a great texture and the diavola butter was a great pairing. I can see myself eating these plain or making them with numerous other butter combos in the future!
