Sometimes I like a vegetable puree as an alternative to mashed potatoes. Cauliflower alone can have a watery consistency, so adding potatoes can help with this. I add parsnips for their flavor, which is fragrant. But be careful not to add too many, and be restrained with the other seasonings as well, so that they support the flavor of the cauliflower and don’t overpower it. Calvados worked its way into this recipe simply because I was making it to go along side of Chicken with Apples and Calvados Cream, so on a whim I threw some Calvados onto the shallots and I liked what it did to them. - SallyCan
