If you haven't tried cauliflower mash then you really should, it tastes amazing, in fact you won't even realize it is cauliflower. For the sour cream, I use Greek yoghurt which I sour with some juice of a lemon, this keeps the dish fat free, but if you want some real sour cream, then of course go ahead. This also can make a great topping for shepherds or cottage pie, I suggest adding a couple of raw eggs to the mixture if you use it for this, it will firm it up slightly above the meat filling.

Hello Siobhan
First, thank you, thank you. I am an avid user of your recipies and love all of them. Again, thank you.
Quick question, in your Sour Cream and Spring Onion Cauliflower Mash - you reference Greek yogurt in the preamble, but in the recipe itself you mention quark - which is better to use. Let me know
