Cauliflower has replaced kale as the new ‘it’ vegetable, apparently. With the popularity of the keto diet this vegetable that was usually either steamed and unseasoned or covered in cheese sauce. My mother, on the other hand, has been roasting cauliflower since probably the 80s, and it has long been my favourite way to eat…
