Your support makes all the difference.One vegetable that has been very difficult for me to feed my daughters is cauliflower.
I have really tried in so many ways to get them to like it.
And I was practically on the verge of giving up on getting them to like this wonderful vegetable when chef and food writer, Olia Herclues, came to do a guest chef session in my restaurant.
She roasted the cauliflower with a variety of spices and lots of different marinades, which inspired me to try, just one last time.
At home, I created my own version of the mariande to coat the cauliflower in, and, thankfully, my girls loved it.
