Cauliflower constantly amazes me with its versatility. You can roast it until it becomes delicate, tender and slightly charred, and whatever spices are used become deeply aromatic; you can use the meaty florets to bring a hearty texture to salads or vegetarian chili; or you can blend cauliflower with cream until it lends a luscious consistency to soups and purees. And let’s not forget that in its humble, raw form, cauliflower’s crisp and crunchy texture makes it great for simply dipping. However you choose to cook (or not cook) your cauliflower, this snowy white vegetable gets a whole new appeal when it becomes the star of a dish.
Here are six recipes for creative cauliflower eating:

Cauliflower and cheese have been friends for quite some time, but in this anything-but-traditional gratin, cauliflower is tossed in a creamy Gruyere sauce and baked with toasty breadcrumbs until golden-brown and bubbly.
