  1. I do like cauliflower, but have never thought to have it with prawns, although this does look delicious. I've just seen your recipe for the peanut butter fat bombs and this is definitely one to try! Take care and have a very happy week, Sue xx

  13. Your three dishes show how versatile cauliflower can be. It's a veg I enjoy but the rest of the family don't like it, perhaps I should try cooking it a different way and see if that makes a difference. Thank you for the birthday wishes, it was my birthday on Saturday, I had a lovely weekend of celebrations.
