My thoughts:

I've been reading a lot of British books lately too later on a couplet of mentions of cauliflower cheese I knew I had to brand it. Luckily it is non cheese made out of cauliflower (which inwards the United States of America of America it likely would move since nosotros are the habitation of empty-headed inventions similar cauliflower "rice" too cauliflower "pizza crust") but rather a cheddar-y, creamy cauliflower casserole. Much better. I used Vermont cheddar but if yous had British cheddar utilisation that! For the the dry out mustard I, of course, used Colman's which I ever purchase inwards the jumbo tins. I served this alongside pork but I intend this homey dish would become good alongside whatsoever meat. It is super comforting but really quick to brand too perfect for cauliflower flavour when cauliflower is extra sweetness too delicious.
