Will have to try this. I love sauteed apples and think I would be interested in trying this combo. Thanks for the great post.

But – huh! I’ve never liked turnips in with other root vegetables because they were too sweet. It never occured to me to treat them properly as a thing supposed to be sweet.

Thank you! Now I could stop hating turnips, too.

I wish I wasn’t so eager to visit the Douro Valley and that I wasn’t so short on time with my upcoming visit…I’d love to come down to the Algarve to drop off the cranberries. Can I put them in the post for you once I get there?? :) I’m serious! I’d put them in the post here but I’m afraid they wouldn’t survive the journey. But from inside Portugal they might make it…

You’re correct about the pastries being the best recommendation since I won’t be eating most of the traditional meat cuisine. I might try some fish but am not sure I can stomach it (not fond of seafood flavors). I’m writing all that you recommend down so keep the ideas flowing! :)

As for the turnips…this is a lovely dish and I’m sure you’ll like it, apples and all. I’m very curious about the idea of grilling them. I like RAW turnips so I wonder if grilling them would keep the flavor similar? Try it and tell me!! :)

I don’t always know what to do with them apart from puting them in soup but I like them. I like the way they look and I also like the slightly bitter taste they have in a vegetable stew. I’ve been wanting to try them grilled (eard about it in some tv show and got curious), but seeing this recipe made me want to guive it a try (even if I don’t like apples in my food too much).

On your gastronomic trip to Portugal, if you can find “Dom Rodrigos” or “Bolos de amendoa algarvios” (also known as “Doce Fino”) try them. They are tradicional almond pastries from my part of the country (south – Algarve). I’m mostly advising you on cakes and pastry because I assumed you are a vegetarian and portuguese traditional cuisine is not big on vegetarian dishes.
As for your offer on those cranberries…I live to far from Lisbon to be able to collect them :-( so I guess I will continue living without knowing the taste of cranberreies ;-)

Let me know what you think of it. :)
