It really is a most versatile vegetable. I have to confess that I
like all the brassicas - broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kholrabi -
and brussels sprouits (along with asparagus) have been my favourite
green vegetables since I first tasted them as a child. My mother used
to just boil cauliflower and serve it with a white sauce (none of us
like cheese in cooked dishes); I find cauliflower and broccoli to be
ideal in frittatas or just dipped in batter and fried, or an
ingredient of any savoury dish that needs some body in it. Never
tried baking it, though, so that's on the 'must try' list. . . .

Interesting idea about the frittata; I'll have to give it a try. Mom
made a cauliflower soup, too.

You can also make mashed cauliflower as a variant or substitute for
mashed potatoes. It's not bad but I prefer potatoes :-)
