Can carrot leaves be used for cooking

We got some carrots last week in our CSA box. They always come with the greens still attached. I always hate to throw them away. I already use the celery leaves for cooking and juicing. So I decided to search on the web and see if I could do something with the carrot greens. I found a couple of good sites that talk about this. But basically I can use the greens in several ways. This first article even talks about using radish and beet greens as well.
