This recipe is made in much the same way my gran used to make hers. The cauliflower is cut into florets and then mixed with a very-cheesy cheese sauce flavoured with nutmeg, a pinch of cayenne pepper and lots of white pepper before being baked under a blanket of grated cheese. It also makes a great low carb cauliflower mac and cheese substitute and honestly, is often even better than actual mac and cheese. Absolutely mouth-watering!

What cheese is best to use?

You want a strong, flavorful cheese. Mature cheddar, Gruyère and Parmesan/Pecorino all add fantastic flavor to the cheese sauce. To top the cauliflower, mozzarella, cheddar and Parmesan are all good options.
