A brilliant combination from ” Mowgli Street Food” by Nisha Katona. I serve this with some coconut rice, and think it would also work well alongside Dishoom Gunpowder Potatoes.

Cauliflower, Apricot and Pine Nut Tabbouleh (4)
Another lovely salad for hot summer days from Claire Thomson’s ” New Kitchen Basics”. Ideally it would be greener than pictured- i should have brought a bigger bunch of parsley! You should be searching through a sea of green for the bulghar and cauliflower.

I love Rukmini Iyer’s series of recipes that can be cooked in a roasting tin and know that these are books i will keep returning too.
Orecchiette with Cauliflower and Pine Nuts (2)
Yesterday’s dinner was this most delicious cauliflower pasta recipe ( adapted for 2) from ” New Kitchen Basics” by Claire Thomson. Although by no means a vegetarian cookbook there are so many recipes for vegetarians in this book that i am cooking from it several times a week at the moment. You can use any short pasta such as conchiglie, rigatoni or fusilli but the orecchiette holds the sauce well. You can also use the cauliflower mix as a topping for bruschetta.

Cauliflower, Harissa, Pomegranate (4)
I am always looking for new ways to cook cauliflower so was very pleased to discover this new recipe from Caravan,
Roast Cauliflower Curry (4)
This is a recipe for cauliflower i could happily eat most days. Its from “Weligama”, a book of recipes from Sri Lanka, by Emily Dobbs. You can use a Romanesco head instead of the cauliflower if wished.
A variation is to make cauliflower spiced rice. Whizz all the ingredients apart from the herbs and nuts in a blender and cook by tossing in hot oil. Serve as an alternative to rice.
Smoky Cauliflower Frittata (4)
Another favourite cauliflower recipe from the book ” Plenty” by Yotam Ottolenghi. Scamorza is a smoky south italian cows milk cheese. I buy mine from an Italian delicatessan but you may find it in larger Tesco or Waitrose stores in the UK.
Cauliflower, Spinach, Tomato (4)
A new one dish recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi. I served this accompanied by a packet of Merchant Gourmet Persian Style Quinoa and Lentils. The next day the leftovers went with chips…
Mustardy Cauliflower Cheese (4)
Yotam Ottolenghi and his team have developed some great recipes for cauliflower and you will find a few of them appearing on this site over time. This is one of my favourites from his most recent book ” Simple”. It can be served as a side to meat or sausages but i like it on its own, or perhaps with brown rice , jacket potatoes or chips if I am feeling naughty….
Cauliflower Cake (4-6)
I cook this Cauliflower Cake from Yotam Ottolenghi regularly, often as a vegetarian option when doing a lunch for family of friends.
Luxury Cauliflower Cheese (2-4)
One of my favourite versions of cauliflower cheese from Nigel Slater. I like to serve this with oven chips, or a baked potato. But if you are less greedy than I am a green salad will suffice.
Cauliflower Cheese Soup (6-8)
A delicious and moreish cauliflower cheese soup from Jamie Olivers ” Ministry of Food”. He recommends using a good quality cheddar like Keens, but i think any strong mature cheddar will do.
Riverford Romanesco Pasta (2)
Romanesco cauliflower is described as tasting like a cross between broccoli and cauliflower but with a nuttier flavour. This is my adaptation of a recipe provided by the Riverford Organic Box scheme which operates in the UK.Its also good with purple sprouting broccoli instead of the romanesco. The original recipe can also be found online if preferred.
