Roasting the cauliflower instead of par boiling is a game changer and adds so much more flavour. I’ve also tried this with broccoli and half and half as per one of your previous videos. My go to recipe now and a firm favourite for Christmas Day. Thanks as always for sharing. Merry Christmas ❤️🎄🙏🏻❄️

You put this video just at the right time, I was looking for a side dish for my meal, this will be it, I will make an update to se how the rest of the folks thought of it at dinner. Thanks for the idea. 👍🏼

I did this for Xmas eve dinner and we all loved it. Great recipe! Thanks!!

[martinraboy]

Just made this. Came out really nice. Baking cauliflower before adds extra flavor. Thank you. This is my first but not last recipe of yours that I follow. Thank you.

Love cauliflower cheese. I usually have it as a meal in itself with bacon added. I fry the chopped bacon and use the rendered bacon fat as part of the base for the sauce. I also just microwave the cauliflower florets with a little water and use the water in the sauce - makes it a little less rich and adds cauli flavour. Then I mix everything together in a big bowl before transferring into an oven dish and baking until browned. Sometimes I use chorizo instead of bacon.

I add leek with the cauliflower and finish it off with a topping of paprika.
This recipe is a good starting point for many variations.

This turned out great. Increased roasting time and bake time by about 10 minutes on both sets, turned out great. Thanks for this. Going in the recipe book.

@ChefJackOvens, I only have one random question…I honestly wanted to know where you take the food after preparing it ?

[joelinden]

As this is totally roasted instead of boiled is the texture still soft when cooked?

[leidycristinavargas]

I love cauliflower and I love what you did with it. Please upload this recipe to your website, Chef. 🙏

[flyinyeti]

The difference between charred and burned is about.... Oh shit it's burned

[_Hamish]

Thanks for another good recipe mate, any chance you will make a full lamb roast recipe vid? 🤤

[fxdkmzz]

Can the cauliflower be roasted and covered with the sauce, but baked an hour or so later? I would like to make it ahead of time.

[JudeDrury]

My lad loves cauliflower cheese I'm definatly going to do this instead of shop bought. U got a good sprout recipie too...?

[puddincupp]

What's is the note for less Heavy Cream? Sub more milk?
