This is a fantastic idea for children! I just discovered fresh tumeric in South Africa for the first time ever. So excited I bought it an nursing to plant in spring. I was also going to do a Golden recipe today but will wait a bit and let your amazing Golden glow get all the love

Aw that's very sweet and thoughtful of you, thank you :-) I look forward to seeing what your golden recipe is!
Turmeric is such a fantastic and under-appreciated plant, and I'm delighted you managed to find some... Now we can all eagerly await the many turmeric recipes you will no doubt share once its grown and harvested!!!
Will do! I love the flavour and the colour! Looks like a royal Jerusalem artichoke - which I love - do you ever roast or eat them raw? As in, alone, not in a dish?
It's actually quite difficult to get those here... only one place that I know of sells them, and only at certain times of year when in season. So I am not very clued about about Jerusalem artichoke! I bought some a while ago and put in a casserole, and honestly I didn't notice the flavour. What are they like? How would you recommend preparing them for the nicest way to eat?
Oh I love them! They really grow like weeds here. We have patches of their very tall daisy type flowers coming up all over and once they've died back then we dig. The only way I've ever eaten them is steamed or baked - like a potato. Add a dash of olive or coconut oil and a teeny bit of salt. Really yummy. Even cold they're good. I guess they are more potato tasting so I think they would be lost in a casserole
