Glossary
TurnedTurned is a culinary term for barrel shaped. You do it by removing the top and tail of, say, a carrot. Then peel and cut each carrot into 6 even pieces.
Using a sharp knife and starting at the top of the piece, curve the knife just on the outside of the carrot.
Work around the piece of carrot, slicing off the curves to form a barrel shape. Keep the savings for a salad.
