April 13, 2014 at 6:21 pmI am with The Ancient Olive on this one. Turning something that looks like a stiff white brain into something that gorgeous takes major talent ma'am :). Your images are both impressive and gorgeous and this recipe is wonderful. Cauliflowers are cheap as chips here at the moment and I have 6 of them sitting waiting for me to turn their greens into hearty soup and work out something to do with the brainy bit. I think I just found what to do with at least one of them and some of my frozen hulled fresh walnuts from our tree that we recently collected 🙂
