    This was great - had it with beef - the horseradish was a lovely background flavour - not too strong! Also putting the parsnip in the food proessor - genius - seems so obvious. Also did ashed potato that way - no more lumps Yey!!

    We don't like horseradish, so just with salt and pepper. Great! A mother of four told me that this was the first solid food she gave to her children. Aren't they lucky..

    Delicious. Used much less butter and only added horseradish for the adults (it just cuts through the sweetness a little). Will become a regular. So comfortingly smooth!

    This is a boxing day staple in our house and I am looking forward to making for the masses again this christmas. I love parsnips but this recipe jazzes them up nicely with it's smooth texture and kick from the horseradish cream...yum!

    yes it is lovely but try adding another sweet vegetable like carrot, a great taste and a lovely colour.
