Whole roast cauliflower cheese: a decadent delight

In this recipe, a humble cauliflower is transformed into a show-stopping centerpiece with a rich, cheesy sauce and a satisfying crunch.

Orange you glad it's cauliflower cheese?

A vibrant orange cauliflower from Brockley Market in south London inspired this innovative take on a classic dish. Rather than chopping it up, this recipe roasts the entire head, leaves and all, for maximum visual impact.

The key is to cook the cauliflower long enough to make it tender throughout, then give it a final 15 minutes to char and bubble under the broiler. Meanwhile, a simple cheese sauce is prepared with red Leicester, thyme, and a hint of turmeric for extra color.

Serve this indulgent side dish with a simple green salad and radishes for a well-rounded meal that's sure to impress.
