This recipe needs some serious improvement. The instructions were unclear and the ingredients did not work well together.

The broccoli Romanesco was overcooked and the Parmesan puree was too thick. I was disappointed with the results.

The broccoli Romanesco and Parmesan puree were a match made in heaven! The broccoli was tender and flavorful, while the puree added a creamy richness that balanced out the broccoli's bitterness.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I was pleasantly surprised! The broccoli Romanesco was cooked perfectly and had a slightly nutty flavor that paired well with the creamy Parmesan puree.
