Have been looking for an easy cauliflower cheese recipe and this is excellent! I added broccoli and boiled potatoes, but that's just me :D Was lovely and cheesy and I really enjoyed it! Got to try that marmite tip!

Did anyone see the TV show last night about cauliflower? Apparently it has a high nutritional content, but we've all stopped buying it because we assume that greener is better. D

My secret ingredient for cauliflower cheese is a heaped teaspoon of marmite along with the mustard. As my family is vegetarian I serve "cauli cheese" as a main meal with roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips. Really love a few cauliflower leaves thrown in too, but that's probably just me. :)
