Nigel鈥檚 Top Tips

  • If you prefer broccoli, it鈥檚 a good stunt double for the cauliflower.

  • Whatever you do, don鈥檛 overcook cauliflower as it鈥檒l go mushy & taste of nothing.

  • Cauliflower, should be a creamy white, avoid anything spotted, or dull-coloured & if you buy pre-cut florets, eat them within a couple of days. 听They also make great crudities for dipping into sauces.

  • Puree cooked cauliflower, add fennel seeds & your other favorite herbs & spices & serve as soup.
