Kohlrabi is in the bassica family that includes broccoli, turnips, cabbages, etc. They can be prepared like a turnip. Kohlrabi can be sliced thin in salads or grated into slaws. They can also be sliced, chopped, grated and steamed, boiled or sauted. If the skin seems tough, peel before cutting and cooking.
