I posted elsewhere about this, not realising it was here too.  Lovely dish, so pleased I tried it - thanks JulieO.  DH didn't even know it was parsnips until I told him. I used boiling water in the bowl and small diced parsnip - that only took 10 minutes to cook.
Also, didn't have any cream so used a dessertspoon of philly cream cheese for 1/2 the quantity of this recipe.
