THREE-CHEESE CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE
I made this cheesy cauliflower dish for dinner one night when my husband was gone. It was so good the boys and I ended up not eating anything else but the casserole! I used fat-free milk and cream cheese and it turned out great!

3 VEG CAULIFLOWER CHEESE
Yesterday we were having a roast and made this as a side dish, normally for just plain cauliflower cheese you would use more cauliflower instead of broccoli, but this was very tasty and incredibly high in anti-cancer foods

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 360°F.
- Steam your vegetables, reserve the juice.
- Cut them into big bite size pieces and put in a oven dish.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan.
- Add flour and mix in, it wont be smooth yet.
- Gradually add the milk stirring it in, (you don't want to add it quickly and get clumps, if so just beat it with a hand whisk). You want to get to a custard consistency. If you run out of milk you can use the juices from the vegetables to get it to a custard-like consistency.
- Once it is the right consistency and is starting to boil, add the cheese. It will start to thicken now.
- Wait a little bit while the cheese melts.
- Pour over vegetables.
- If it doesn't go in between the vegetables and just sits on top, put it back on the element and add some more juice or milk to get it right. You can leave until you want to cook or cook straight away.
- Cook in oven for 30 minutes, or until done.
- If you like it extra cheesy, before you put it in the oven add some mozzarella cheese on top.
- It will be very hot, so be careful.

THREE-CHEESE CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE
There's no shortage of richness in this casserole. Here, three types of cheese and heavy cream result in something luxurious and comforting, perfect for colder weather. Make sure to drain and dry the blanched cauliflower well, since excess water could break the creamy sauce and make it separate. Serve as a side with any braised or roasted meat or, for a vegetarian dinner, balance it with a salad tossed with a bright, lemony vinaigrette.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and butter a 2-quart glass baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the cauliflower until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain and cool.
- In a small saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour until it forms a pale-golden paste, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a low simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes. Off heat, stir in half the Gruyère and fontina.
- Pat the cauliflower dry then transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the creamy sauce over the cauliflower and stir to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the buttered baking dish, spreading it in an even layer. Top with the remaining Gruyère and fontina. Bake until the mixture begins to bubble and the cauliflower starts to turn golden, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the panko, pecorino, thyme and oil.
- Spoon the panko mixture on top of the cauliflower and bake until the topping is crisp, about 10 minutes. Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes or so, then serve. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the cauliflower florets and stalks with the oil in a large roasting tin and season well. Roast for 25-30 mins until almost tender, then add the leaves and cook for a further 5 mins.
- To make the sauce, melt the vegan butter block in a large saucepan. Add the flour, mustard powder, onion and garlic granules and cook for 2-3 mins. Gradually add the soya milk, whisking well to incorporate. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, then simmer for 4-5 mins until thickened and reduced slightly. Add the nutritional yeast and season well, then whisk to combine.
- Tip the sourdough breadcrumbs and vegan cheese into a bowl and stir to combine. Season well. Remove the cauliflower from the oven, spoon over the sauce and stir to combine. Scatter over the cheesy sourdough crumbs and return to the oven for 10 mins until bubbling and golden. Serve as a side or main with a green salad.

Tips:
- Look for firm, white cauliflower florets with no signs of browning or bruising. Choose heads with fresh, green leaves.
- To easily rice the cauliflower, use the large holes of a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating blade.
- If you don't have self-rising flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to plain flour.
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor. A mature cheddar will give a sharper flavor, while a mild cheddar will be more subtle.
- For a vegetarian version of the cheese sauce, use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
- Serve the cauliflower cheese immediately, or it can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
