cauliflower can go black if frozen for too long unblanched, don't
know about broccoli though .keep a couple of absorbent tea-towels for
drying the veg as draining is not good enough on its own. it really
needs to be dried too.green beans are easily blanched and frozen --i
wonder how long the writer blanched hers for?? 2 minutes is enough as
they only take about 5 to cook from raw.
