Just found a few interesting things to try with Kohlrabi...

Carrot & Kohlrabi salad (Rick Stein's recipe on the BBC Food website) (gotta love Rick Stein!)

Kohlrabi fritters (from a blog called 'ahungrybear.com')

Also the leaves can be cooked and eaten as you would with Spinach.  Braised for 2mins on a medium heat with a knob of butter, lid on.  Could be good!
