Hints and Tips
Don't use vanilla essence for this recipe. Use vanilla bean pods or vanilla bean paste.
This recipe does not need salt and pepper, use a little salt as a flavour enhancer (to taste) if you feel it's needed.
Oh yeah, cauliflower. I used to think it was gross-looking and tasteless. That was before someone gave me a number of heads they’d grown and I had to do something with it. Tried raw with dressing; too hard and gets boring quickly. Then I thought about just softening. Cut it into chunks, got a large pot of water boiling, and let them boil for just a few minutes. Drained well, then back in the frige to chill. (Don’t seal them in anything tight) Great snack with dressing, or just salt and pepper.
