Räbelichtli book

We got a nice picture book about this Swiss tradition. One of the cool things about the book is that it has recipes on the back end page. Our favorite is the Bappe (see below).

Räbenbappe

600 g turnip

300 g potatoes

1 dl water

1 T salt

20 g butter

1 dl cream

optional pinch: nutmeg and/or cumin

Wash and peel turnips and potatoes and cut into small pieces. Boil water, add salt, turnips, and potatoes. Cook for about 15 minutes. Drain off the water. Stir in butter and cream, and season with salt and spices.
