Cauliflower cheese

Cauliflower cheese is a dish of boiled cauliflower covered in cheese sauce. In the UK, cauliflower cheese is often eaten as a side dish, particularly with Sunday roasts, and at times as a main to accommodate vegetarian diets. The cheese sauce often has cheddar as its base, though sometimes others including Stilton or Swiss are used, and in more elaborate preparations includes nutmeg and English mustard. Toppings—cheese, more rarely breadcrumbs—are often added as a final element before the dish is baked. Cauliflowers were introduced to England in the 17th century, and in Food Cultures of Great Britain this is taken as a likely origin for the dish. A recipe for "cauliflower and cheese" appeared in the vegetarianism activist John Smith's book The Principles and Practice of Vegetarian Cookery (1860).
