My latest thing is cauliflower. Big fresh heads of cauliflower have been popping up at the farmers markets over the last couple of weeks and I am loving it. I came across this recipe in a book call "The Herbal Kitchen". I have adapted it slightly to my own taste and to what I had on hand and i was more than happy with the outcome. It proved to be a delicious lunch had by all - kids included and they asked for more - gee i love that!
