Cauliflower: A Love Story

Recipes for diners of all ages

Hi friends, 

As promised, today’s post is an ode to the humble cauliflower, in all of its flavor-flexible, good-bang-for-your-buck, texturally-interesting glory. (It’s also decidedly not green in case that would be an effective selling point for any of your family members.) 

Below you’ll find three recipes: one for very new eaters (Laila Gohar’s creamy bay-scented cauliflower purée) and the other two for more seasoned chewers (cauliflower steaks with salsa verde and a zingy shaved cauliflower salad). Beyond that, we’ve included a round-up of our favorite cauliflower recipes from cooks who also celebrate this beloved brassica. Let us know if we’re missing any of your favorites—we’ll add ‘em!

So, go forth and fill your weekend with some of cauliflower’s charm. Next week we’ll post a recipe for an insanely simple braise that will show you just how easy it can be to cook a cozy, delicious dinner for your family on a weeknight (like 4/10 easy).

(Cauli)flower power,

Greta + Fanny
