It might not look like much, but cauliflower is one of the trendiest vegetables around right now. Creamy, healthy and the perfect base for spices, it’s evolved from an uninspiring side dish to a star in its own right. Ever since we discovered roasting the florets results in crunchy, caramelised morsels of deliciousness and throwing one into a food processor rewards us with a healthier alternative to rice, we’ve been using the humble brassica to make pizza bases, replace meat in dishes and bulk out salads. Long gone are the days of mushy, overcooked cauliflower cheese and anaemic soups – just take a look at these mouth-watering creations to see how versatile cauliflower can be.
