Advantages: So verstaile, cheap

Disadvantages: only available in winter

I think parsnips are terribly underated as a vegetable. They are extremely versatile, have a beautiful sweet fragrant flavour, and are generally cheap.

Parsnips are in season in the UK in the winter months ideally November through til about March. They are frost hardy and a great winter staple.

I love them roasted alongside potatoes, they make the tastiest chips. Espcially if you caramelise the outside. You can use them for a mash and mix them with carrots. They can go in allsorts of bakes and curries.

Last but by no means least my favourtie way is a CAKE. Yes parsnip cake, alongside carrot, courgette and beetroot is one of the most favourite vegetable cakes. It is of course sweet, and anyone who tastes it and doesn't know the secret ingredient will be plesantly surprised to find out what exactly it is. Find any carrot cake recipe and replace the carrot with parsnip. Go on try it.

Summary: Everyone needs to eat more parsnip
