It was delicious looking and I can't wait to try it. It may not be
for you, but there are posters here that like cauliflower.

Both nice, the Mustard-Parmesan Whole Roasted Cauliflower sounds
especially good.

Just curious as to the cauliflower situation over your way?
Here in Australia, the cauliflowers in the shops have gotten
progressively smaller and more expensive over recent years.
They're like half the size they used to be and I sometimes see them
for up to AUD$5 each, which is ridiculous. Is that case over there
too? I think I might grow some, given the prices lately.

Yes. Smaller and far more expensive. That is also true of rutabaga,
kohlrabi. I don't think local farmers are growing these things any
more. Even if I see them at a farmer's market they are expensive.
Cauliflower is expensive to grow compared to other crops. It's fussy
to grow, it doesn't tolerate heat, it forms little bumps instead of a
head, so definitely a cool season crop. Seed companies are offering
smaller varieties, I suppose in response to demand.
These recipes offer something a little different. Enjoy

That's true, always been a relatively expensive crop to grow, but
still can't see why the sudden jump in price and decrease in size.

>It's fussy
>to grow, it doesn't tolerate heat, it forms little bumps instead of a
>head, so definitely a cool season crop.


Yes to all of the above, which is why I have avoided growing them thus
far.

>Seed companies are offering
>smaller varieties, I suppose in response to demand.


When I do grow some I will probably also go for the smaller varieties.
Just thinking about it now, they're probably better resistant to mould
and other issues you see with plants with a large flowering head.

>These recipes offer something a little different. Enjoy


Many thanks.

Gosh, 40 years ago we could get cauliflower appetizers, along with mushrooms and chicken
livers, all breaded in some way and fried. Delicious! Plus, two of those are veggies! ;-))

The only "trendy" thing now is calling the cauliflower portions "wings."

I've had cauliflower similar to this except it was microwaved.
Delicious. The way they made it on the show looked great, too.

I always suspected cauliflower is just broccoli grown without the benefit of light! Like in a deep cave.

Anything fried people tend to think of as delicious. Why you could take an old stinky neoprene bootie and slice it up thin and bread it and fry it and people would go NOM NOM! Calamari? ;-)

I rarely cook fresh cauliflower, I prefer it raw as a crudite with a
dip, or pickled.

I like raw cauliflower, too. But I really do not like it pickled.
I forget what that Italian pickled vegetables are called ... not
my thing.

with the vegetables arranged all artistically.

Don't just grow the white ones - there are orange, purple, and green
ones, too.

Good point, do they have differences in taste or texture at all?

Not much, but the nutrients are a bit different - anthocyanin in the
purple, and beta carotene in the orange.
And they look really pretty on the plate.

That's not true, 99.9% of the color is dissolved away in the
cooking... in fact from cooking they drvelop a grayish tinge... snow
white cauliflower cooks up more attractive.

You must _really_ overcook your cauliflower! I often cook the coloured
ones, and they certainly don't have 'a grayish tinge'.

Do they taste similar?

If not are they milder or stronger?

They are quite similar, but not exactly the same - a bit 'nuttier', I
would say. We like them.
I also like using different colours of carrots - almost-white, yellow,
dark pink, purple. Although - if serving a mixture of colours, I always
do the purple ones separately - if you don't, they will stain all the
other ones. DAMHIKT

Sounds interesting. I'd probably like this more than steamed
cauliflower. My wife goes crazy for deep fried Brussels sprouts. To me,
a plate of them looks like fried baby crabs.

We tried a Cauliflower like this once, and it was horrible.
How'd yours work out?

I haven't tried it yet, just saw it on Food Network. Do you mean you
tried this recipe or do you mean you tried roasting it whole?

roasting it whole, with some kind of a similar concoction smeared on it.
I think maybe it was curry and something.

Not good. The cauliflower got way too dark on the outside, but never
cooked in the middle.

I have never roasted a whole one but have seen recipes for it to be
slathered with yogurt and curry powder. I have cut it up, soaked it in
that mixture and grilled it, and it was great.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to roast it whole. I wouldn't
want an over cooked outside and undercooked inside, especially when
the core needs more cooking anyway.

I prefer to steam it when whole.
