I've been looking at a few different recipes for cauliflower cheese but can't decide which one to use... Any recommendations?

Leith's Parmesan and Pancetta cauliflower cheese is AMAZING- and I really hate cauliflower!

I cook my cauliflower until cooked but firm first. Then I pour cheese sauce on it and brown it off in the oven. Stops it going watery.

Frozen from Sainsbury's....add stuff if you want to.

Microwave cauliflower until just tender don’t boil - reduces wateriness.
Cheese sauce with a good dollop of English mustard and a scratching of nutmeg. Don’t drown the cauliflower in sauce.

Make it with romanesco cauliflower.

i steam my cauliflower to stop the wateriness...until just off done.

Make sure the sauce is really well seasoned and really thick, and dob in a good spoonful of English Mustard, and try and get a couple of tbs of creme fraiche in it too....NOT low fat.

Also grate some cheese and throw that over and around the cauliflower before the sauce goes over. Sometimes I chuck in chunks of random bits of cheese as well. Mozzarella is good, but maybe not for a side dish.

The sauce should be so thick it looks like a duvet laid over the cauliflower. More cheese over the top

Then into a hot oven until it is the picture of golden and cheesey goodness.

If we are having it for a main then I put bacon over the top too.

I've only recently discovered cauliflower cheese (not sure why as always liked cauliflower).
I just buy it frozen from Aldi.

Well, i never. It never occured to me that CC was anything other than cauliflower+ cheddar cheese sauce!

Going to try with mustard and following for further inspiration
