Don’t you ever boil cauliflower. The humble white vegetable deserves more to bring out all its nutty-flavoured glory. Roast cauliflower whole, head and all, or toss the cauliflower florets in spices and pop them into bright and colourful salads as a side dish or substantial main.
Cauliflower and cheese are a classic match for good reason – see the cauliflower mac and cheese, classic cauliflower cheese recipe, and our triple-cheese cauliflower bake to rule them all. And of course, there are easy cauliflower recipes to have on hand, such as a reliable cauliflower soup.
We also have Asian-style recipes for cauliflower, vegan dishes where the cruciferous veg is the star and a Kerela curry served atop cauliflower rice. Then, there are recipes with cauliflower roasted whole and served with a rich, tangy, fermented chilli butter. And if we had to pick the best cauliflower recipe in this collection? Well, it might just be Nik Hill’s show-stopping cauliflower cheese tart.
