  I have made this a number of times but use a little cream instead of the milk and season well with salt and pepper to taste as can be quite bland. A nice way to eat cauliflower.

  It was a change to have cauliflower made this way, quite nice but looked a bit like baby food.

  Tried this today for the first time. It was too sloppy so will use less milk next time. Also very bland. Tried: adding a tiny bit of Dijon mustard - okay; a little nutmeg - lifted it a bit; finally added some chopped parsley and chives. Wonder what it would be like cooked with milk but blended with some creme fraiche?

  The family all agree that this is the beest way I've ever cooked cauliflower. Delicious, though I tend to use less milk to get a firmer texture.

  In a wild mood I used the same ingredients but....; steamed the cauliflower (more intense flavour), sweated the onions in a knob of butter (more silky texture), then pureed the lot with two tablespoons of single cream, with some black pepper. The texture was thicker, so the whizz kids amongst us might even like to pipe it. Sorry Gary, I hope I haven't insulted your original recipe too much!

  I made this for a puree with scallops, inspired by restaurant dinning and was really pleased with the results. Very good.

  think i will definitely use cream next time just for added depth but for a first time it was really tasty and went very well with the scallops, mushrooms and spinach recipe also from goodfood.

  What a lovely way to eat cauliflower, even my cauli hating husband liked it (its the texture he normally dislikes so this was perfect.) I followed the recipe pretty much as written but agree you don't need quite as much milk and I added a little grated nutmeg for interest. I served it with poached haddock with a chrizo and tomato topping and tiny cubed roast potatoes.
