CAULIFLOWER "MAC" AND CHEESE
Somewhere between macaroni and cheese, British cauliflower cheese and a cauliflower gratin is this burbling dish of tangy, creamy cauliflower. Cauliflower florets cut into noodle-size pieces step in for macaroni in this pasta-less macaroni and cheese; they're roasted and draped in a mixture of melty Cheddar, heavy cream, garlic and cayenne. You could also add mustard, thyme or rosemary, or even caramelized onions, and swap out the Cheddar for Gruyère or another cheese. As the cauliflower cooks in the cream mixture, the cream thickens slightly and the cauliflower continues to brown. Serve it with a bright, crisp salad to offset the richness.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, spread in an even layer and roast until browned and cooked through but retaining some bite, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the cauliflower to an 8-inch or other 2-quart baking dish. (You could also bake this in individual ramekins; just mix the cauliflower with the other ingredients in a medium bowl before dividing.) Reserve 1/4 cup Cheddar. Add the remaining 1 1/4 cups Cheddar, heavy cream, garlic and cayenne to the cauliflower and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, then top with the reserved 1/4 cup Cheddar.
- Roast until the cream has thickened, the cheese has melted, and some of the cauliflower is browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

CAULIFLOWER MAC 'N' CHEESE
I've written this recipe to serve 6, but it's easy to double up if you want to get into the batch-cooking vibe and get an extra meal or two in the freezer, or if you want to safely drop a dish on a neighbour's doorstep (just don't forget to back away once you've rung the bell. Social distancing, people!). You can get this prepped in the morning, ready to bake up for lunch or dinner. Happy days.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
- Put a large shallow ovenproof casserole pan on a medium heat with the butter.
- Trim, halve, wash and slice the leek and add to the pan. Stir regularly while you trim, slice and add the celery, then trim, chop and add the fennel, if using.
- Break the cauliflower into florets, then cut into 2cm-thick slices and finely slice the stalk and any nice leaves. Add the stalk and leaves to the pan and cook for 10 minutes, or until soft but not coloured, stirring regularly.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for 8 minutes (5 if using macaroni). Reserving a mugful of starchy cooking water, drain the pasta and pour into a 25cm x 35cm baking dish (or divide between smaller ones), along with the cauliflower florets.
- Stir the flour into the veg pan for 30 seconds, then gradually pour in the milk, stirring all the time, followed by 500ml of water. Simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the mustard and season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Let the sauce blip away until thickened while you coarsely grate the cheese.
- Stir the cheese into the sauce, then blitz until smooth with a hand blender, or in batches in a food processor.
- Pour over the pasta and cauliflower florets then, if you need to loosen it, add a little reserved pasta water - the sauce will thicken up as it bakes.
- Blitz your stale bread into crumbs in the processor (or smash up in a clean tea towel). Peel and grate the garlic. Pick the herb leaves, if using, and mix it all together with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Scatter the crumbs over the pasta, grating over more cheese, if you've got it, then bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Cook the cauliflower until just tender, about 5 minutes.

Bring the salted water back to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the blanched cauliflower and garlic and cook 2 minutes, then add 1/2 cup hot sauce and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute more.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and mustard until smooth. Whisk in the half-and-half, then add the remaining 1/4 cup hot sauce and stir until thick, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the Cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, then whisk in the sour cream until smooth.
- Spread half of the macaroni in the prepared baking dish and pour over about half of the cheese sauce. Top with the cauliflower mixture and the remaining macaroni. Pour the remaining cheese sauce evenly on top.
- Put the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Stir in the panko, blue cheese and parsley. Sprinkle over the macaroni and bake until bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then serve with additional hot sauce on the side.

Steps:
- NOTE: After I post this recipe, one of the cheese names keeps getting changed to Kerrygold Dubliner Irish Farmhouse cheese and I have corrected it several times, but it won't stay correct. The cheese you want is really called Kerrygold Irish Dubliner cheese NOT Farmhouse. If you cannot find it try using 3/4 cup parmesan AND an extra 3/4 cup Extra Sharp Cheddar as a substitute in place of the Kerrygold Irish Dubliner in the cheese sauce.
- Boil & drain 1 box Whole Wheat Pasta and set on the side in a very large bowl.
- Cut 1 medium head Cauliflower to 1" pieces and boil in hot water until fork tender, drain completely. Then saute the Cauliflower for 5 minutes with 2 Tablespoons of Butter. Transfer to a different bowl and hold separately.
- Using same pan you sauted the Cauliflower in, add 8oz sliced Mushrooms to the pan and saute until cooked completey. Return Cauliflower to the pan with the cooked Mushrooms.
- Rough cut 2 large Tomatoes into large pieces and add to Cauliflower and Mushroom mixture . Heat three ingredients through for approximately 5 - 7 minutes on a medium high heat, stirring frequently. Once done, dump Veggies in large bowl on top of the pasta.
- Cut 6 Green Onions (both white & green parts) into 1/4" slices and add to large bowl of Veggies and Pasta.
- In a separate large pot, melt 4 Tablespoons of Butter (be careful not to brown). Once melted, add 4 Tablespoons Flour and stir constantly to cook Flour for 5 - 10 minutes over medium heat being careful not to brown until flour looks frothy and bubbly.
- Slowly add 4 cups Milk to Flour and Butter mixture, making sure to whisk quickly while adding Milk slowly and constantly to avoid lumps. Heat Milk mixture on low to medium heat until it almost comes to a boil and continue for approximately 20 minutes being careful not to burn Milk or over-boil.
- Once Milk is done and appears to look like it is thickening to a sauce, add 1-1/2 cup Shredded Kerrygold Irish Dubliner Cheese, 1 cup Shredded Swiss Cheese and 1 cup Shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese and stir slowly until completely melted to a cheese sauce.
- Pour Cheese Sauce over Veggies and Pasta and gently mix to combine thoroughly. Transfer Cauliflower Veggie Mac 'n Cheese to a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Top evenly with 1 cup Shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (again Kraft or store brand is fine) and 3 cups seasoned bread crumbs.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven until entire dish is hot bubbly and the edges are browning for about 1 hour and Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with Pam or use a small amount of oil to grease pan.
- Bring a pot of water to boil and add salt. When it reaches a boil add cauliflower for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Transfer cauliflower to blender or food processor. We used a blender but I think a food processor may be a better option. Add pasta to boiling water and cook for 5 minutes; drain; rinse and put in prepared baking dish.
- In a small sauce pan put in the broth and bay leaves and heat over medium low heat. When small bubbbles appear (5 minutes) turn off heat and let broth stand. Remove bay leaves from broth.
- Process cauliflowe with 2 cups of the broth, 2 T oil, the cheese, mustard , nutmeg, and salt and pepper. You may need to work in batches -- my blender overflowed a bit. If sauce becomes too thick add the remaining broth (1/2 cup).
- Pour sauce over pasta. ***can be refrigerated one day if desired; bringing to room temp before proceeding.***.
- Sprinkle to with Parmesan and bread crumbs.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is bubbling and crumbs turn brown.

- Place the cauliflower pieces on a large baking sheet, and toss with enough olive oil to thinly coat each piece. Start with about 2 tablespoons, and if some pieces are still dry after tossing, add a little more olive oil. Sprinkle a generous amount of flaky kosher salt on the cauliflower pieces then arrange them into a flat layer. Place the cauliflower in the oven on the lower middle rack and roast for 18-20 minutes or until the bottoms of the cauliflower are golden brown. Let the cauliflower cool completely.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. When it starts to sizzle, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Pour in the heavy cream. Add a big pinch of flaky kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, smoked paprika, grated nutmeg, rosemary, and thyme. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until the mixture starts to simmer and the cream has reduced and thickened. Keep an eye on it because it will and can bubble over if you’re not careful. You may have to adjust the heat during this process. After 8 to 10 minutes when the cream mixture has reduced enough to become visibly thicker, larger bubbles breaking the surface, add the cream cheese if using. Stir to combine.
