It does something majical to a broth. Other than that, I'm apt to just chop them up for a small cube-shaped filler or toss them in my home made vegetable broth (the rest of the veggie broth is just raw leftovers but I might pick up a turnip to add to it deliberately). > I have learned to like squash and I found > that roasted parsnip is very good.

It's on my list to try a bit, roasted and in a soup or broth. > My wife did not like cilantro the first few times she had it but has > totally changed her attitude about that. She now likes it a lot.
