    Delicious and easy. I loved this and it brought back lovely memories of my grandmother making cauliflower cheese

    Love this. I used only 2/3 of a cauli. A sprinkle of nutmeg and small handful of shaved parmesan cheese in the white sauce. Finished with 1/4 cup breadcrumbs and cheese on top. It was more saucy than usual but we loved it.

    Oh yum. This is the best cauli cheese. I did a mix of broccoli and cauliflower and it was just perfect.
