Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut off enough of the cauliflower stalk so it sits flat, then cut a deep cross in the base of the stalk. Sit the cauliflower on a piece of foil, then rub over 1 tbsp oil. Sprinkle over 2 tbsp water, season well, then cover tightly with the foil, sealing the water and cauliflower inside the package. Put in a baking dish and cook for 1 hr 30 mins.
- Meanwhile, cook the onions with a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp oil in a pan until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic, mace, thyme leaves and flour and stir for 2 mins, then add the almond milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring, then season. When slightly thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the soya cream and mustard.
- Rub the breadcrumbs with the remaining oil. Stir in the almonds.
- Uncover the cauliflower and return to the dish. Pour the sauce all over the cauliflower and into the dish. Scatter the crumbs on top, and tear over the two whole thyme sprigs. Turn the oven up to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake for 15-20 mins more, until the sauce is bubbling and thickened slightly, and the crumbs and cauliflower are golden. Cut into wedges and serve with a green salad and some garlic bread.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH FETA, ALMONDS AND OLIVES
Roasted cauliflower is a pure delight, but tossing it with feta, toasted almonds and olives makes it even better. The additions come together while the cauliflower roasts, allowing you to assemble this side in no time. If almonds aren't available, walnuts or hazelnuts are good substitutions. This dish works well served warm, but it's equally good at room temperature if you want to make it ahead. Serve with grilled pork chops or pan-seared chicken thighs with lemon and herbs, or fold it into cooked grains, such farro or rice, for a hearty grain salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with the olive oil. Season well with the salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes, if using, and toss again. Spread the mixture evenly onto a large sheet pan and roast until crisp and golden, about 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to ensure they don't burn, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the cauliflower is roasted, toss it in a large bowl with the feta cheese, olives, half the almonds and 1 tablespoon parsley until combined. Top with remaining almonds and parsley, and lemon. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH ALMOND-HERB SAUCE
This striking dish has become a modern classic, as chefs around the world are working out new ways to push vegetables into the center of the plate. It makes a lovely vegetarian main course after a pasta intro, or a gorgeous side dish for lamb or fish. Omit the anchovies in the sauce, and it becomes entirely vegetarian; replace the butter with more olive oil, and it turns vegan. Try using pale orange, green or purple cauliflower, or a head of spiky, psychedelic Romanesco. Carve it at the table, just like a roast, for maximum impact.

Steps:
- Heat the oven while you prepare the cauliflower: Place a heavy oven-proof skillet (a cast-iron skillet looks very nice) or a baking sheet in the oven and turn the heat to 375 degrees. Place a small pan of hot water on the floor of the oven, to create steam.
- Break off and discard the outer leaves from the cauliflower. Cut off the bottom of the stem, and then use the tip of a small, sharp knife to cut off the leaves close to the stem. Carefully cut out the hard core of the cauliflower, near the bottom. Leave the main stem intact and make sure not to cut through any of the florets.
- Rinse the cauliflower (leave the water clinging to the outside) and place on a work surface, core side up. Drizzle with olive oil and use your hands to rub over the cauliflower until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt.
- Place the cauliflower on the hot pan in the oven, core side down, and cook until very tender all the way through when pierced with a knife, at least 1 hour or up to 2 hours. During the cooking, baste 2 or 3 times with more olive oil. It should brown nicely. If you have a convection feature, use it toward the end of baking to brown the crust.
- Make the sauce: In a small frying pan, toast nuts over low heat, shaking often, just until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- Soak anchovies, if using, for 5 minutes in cool water. Rinse and set aside on paper towels.
- In a food processor, combine almonds, anchovies, garlic and butter and pulse until smooth. Mix in oil, then vinegar. Mix in herbs and red pepper flakes, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- When cauliflower is tender, remove from the oven. (If desired, run it briefly under the broiler first to brown the surface; there is no need to do this if you used convection.)
- Serve cauliflower in the skillet or from a serving plate. Cut into wedges and spoon sauce around each wedge.

CAULIFLOWER WITH ALMOND AILLADE
Aillade's egglessness leaves it with a slightly weaker constitution than it's cousin aioli, so it can break more easily. Happily, it doesn't matter if it breaks-carry on and it will all come together when it hits the hot cauliflower and a little water.

Steps:
- Put a large pot of water on to boil for the cauliflower while you make the aillade.
- Pound the garlic in a mortar and pestle with a pinch of salt, add the almonds and pound to a chunky paste, not entirely smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon of water and then begin adding olive oil in a thin stream, like making mayonnaise. When half the oil is in, add another tablespoon of water if it's getting very thick, then keep stirring in the remaining oil. Add the lemon juice or vinegar, chopped parsley, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust with more lemon or salt and add a splash of water if it needs more flow.
- Add salt to the pot of boiling water and taste that it's right. Add the cauliflower and cook until tender-about 5 minutes, but tasting a piece is the only way to really know. Stir a couple of tablespoons of the cooking water into the bowl of aillade to get it in the mood. Set aside a little more cooking water for possible adjustments, then drain the cauliflower and put it in a mixing bowl. Stir in the aillade. Taste and adjust for flavor with salt or lemon, and for texture with a splash of cooking water or oil.
- Variation
- Smash up a few anchovy fillets with the garlic and almonds.
SPAGHETTI WITH CAULIFLOWER, ALMONDS, TOMATOES AND CHICKPEAS
Pasta with cauliflower comes in many variations throughout Italy. This one is all about texture -- crunchy almonds, tender (but not mushy) cauliflower and plush chickpeas. The original version of this recipe called for quinoa spaghetti (and if you're into that, go for it!), but we've found it's just as tasty with the traditional sort as well.

Steps:
- Fill a large pasta pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste and cauliflower. Boil 5 minutes, then using a Chinese skimmer, a strainer or a slotted spoon, transfer cauliflower to a bowl of cold water (do not drain the pot; you'll use the water for the pasta). Drain the cauliflower and chop medium-fine. Set aside.
- (You can do this step while you are waiting for the water to come to a boil for the cauliflower). Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet or a wide saucepan and add garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in tomatoes with liquid, sugar, cinnamon, salt and oregano. Turn up heat to medium-high and stir often as tomatoes come to a brisk boil. Turn heat down to medium and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down and taste very fragrant, about 10 minutes. Add pepper to taste.
- Add cauliflower and almonds to the tomato sauce, along with 1/4 cup cooking water from the cauliflower, and stir together. Stir in chickpeas.
- Bring water in the pot back to a boil and add spaghetti. Cook al dente, following timing instructions on the package but checking for doneness a minute before indicated time on the package. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cooking water from the pasta, in case you want to moisten the sauce more, drain pasta and toss with the tomato and cauliflower sauce and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add water from pasta only if you think the mixture seems dry. Serve, passing crumbled feta or grated Parmesan at the table for sprinkling.

CAULIFLOWER WITH ALMONDS, CAPERS AND RAISINS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut cauliflower from top to bottom in 1-inch slices. Place a large ovenproof skillet over low heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. When it has melted, add bread crumbs and toss until toasted and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer crumbs to a plate and wipe out pan.
- Return pan to medium heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add almonds and toss until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer almonds to a plate, let cool, and cut each almond into three pieces; set aside.
- Wipe out pan and return to medium heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and cauliflower slices. Sauté until lightly browned on both sides. Transfer pan to oven and roast until tender, about 12 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter and add raisins, vinegar and 1 tablespoon water. Simmer until raisins are plump and soft, about 5 minutes; drain and set aside. In a small bowl, combine almonds, capers, raisins, parsley, tarragon and chives. Season with salt and pepper and toss to mix.
- Arrange roasted cauliflower on a serving platter. Spoon almond-herb mixture evenly on top and sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs. Serve immediately.
