I've also previously rated this recipe, and It's a definite keeper in this house (love the idea of adding stock - will try that next time!)
I have to agree with you about the spacing in the recipe. It's so hard to read when you're cooking!

I have already rated this dish (full marks) but today I made a few minor changes which has turned up the volume on this already delicious side dish.
As suggested, I halved the sauce qantities (this was a perfect amount of sauce), added 1tsp of stock (instead of salt) and 1/2 tsp of mustard, and a bit of black pepper. Sensational. Thank you for this recipe.
However, PLEASE CORRECT THE SPACING in the recipe! It's tricky to read/follow
Really good. Fuss free and very tasty

I did a combination of cauliflower and broccoli. Very nice recipe.
This was excellent! I didn't
This was excellent! I didn't read the recipe properly, and grated all of the cheese with the bread crumbs, so just added extra cheese, ( and a clove of garlic, some ground pepper and a sprig of thyme) to the flour/milk/butter mix. YUM! My cauliflower hating mother ate it and said it was great
Really lovely thanks. I added
Really lovely thanks. I added half a leek chopped and sauted before adding milk etc. Also made 1/3 of the cheese parmesan.

Next time I think I'll add a little more flour, we like a thicker sauce.

Deliciously creamy, cheesy sauce!
There was probably a bit much sauce for the califlower I had - perhaps mine was a little on the small side, but it was really delicious, so the extra was mopped up pretty quickly! I didn't add salt, and didn't miss it.
I look forward to trying some variations, as it's such a versatile sauce! It would be delicious as a finishing sauce over veggies, and some of the variations in the reviews sound fantastic!

Totally amazing!I grew up
Totally amazing!I grew up eating cauliflower cheese. Sometimes it was all we ate for dinner. I have never eaten it with a crunchy topping though. This was AMAZEBALLS!!!!!
This is delish - might try
This is delish - might try some wine in the cheese sauce next time! The instructions need some spaces inbetween as it's a bit hard to follow as you cook.
Oh yum!!!
