Roasting the cauliflower instead of par boiling is a game changer and adds so much more flavour. I’ve also tried this with broccoli and half and half as per one of your previous videos. My go to recipe now and a firm favourite for Christmas Day. Thanks as always for sharing. Merry Christmas ❤️🎄🙏🏻❄️

You put this video just at the right time, I was looking for a side dish for my meal, this will be it, I will make an update to se how the rest of the folks thought of it at dinner. Thanks for the idea. 👍🏼

[@martinraboy5971]

Just made this. Came out really nice. Baking cauliflower before adds extra flavor. Thank you. This is my first but not last recipe of yours that I follow. Thank you.

[@judyyap8657]

I did this for Xmas eve dinner and we all loved it. Great recipe! Thanks!!

[@stevie7702]

One of my favourite side dishes

[@WeCookWorldwide]

Lovely Jack! Merry Christmas!

[@patriciatreslove4449]

Happy Christmas Chef.

[@virginiaeriguel8738]

Looks yummy

[@flygrace]

Love cauliflower cheese. I usually have it as a meal in itself with bacon added. I fry the chopped bacon and use the rendered bacon fat as part of the base for the sauce. I also just microwave the cauliflower florets with a little water and use the water in the sauce - makes it a little less rich and adds cauli flavour. Then I mix everything together in a big bowl before transferring into an oven dish and baking until browned. Sometimes I use chorizo instead of bacon.

[@yiotacrosss]

My husband will love this like a proper Englishman would!!! Will come back and let you know! Thank you!

[@Kevinrothwell1959]

I add leek with the cauliflower and finish it off with a topping of paprika. This recipe is a good starting point for many variations.

[@helnbak9372]

Love it And liking the summer shorts too 😂😂

[@unicornbbq]

This turned out great. Increased roasting time and bake time by about 10 minutes on both sets, turned out great. Thanks for this. Going in the recipe book.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Great to hear you enjoyed it!

Tq Jack for your healthy recipe...

[@cheezheadz3928]

The cauliflower is the only healthy part. 🤔

[@leidycristinavargas9723]

I love cauliflower and I love what you did with it. Please upload this recipe to your website, Chef. 🙏

[@cheezheadz3928]

You dont need a recipe. Cauliflower topped with roux.

[@_Hamish]

Thanks for another good recipe mate, any chance you will make a full lamb roast recipe vid? 🤤

[@flyinyeti]

The difference between charred and burned is about.... Oh shit it's burned

[@babehuiy]

🤤🤤

[@ChiefTh3o]

@ChefJackOvens, I only have one random question…I honestly wanted to know where you take the food after preparing it ?

[@ChefJackOvens]

We eat it all, or share it with family

[@JudeDrury]

My lad loves cauliflower cheese I'm definatly going to do this instead of shop bought. U got a good sprout recipie too...?

[@joelinden1482]

As this is totally roasted instead of boiled is the texture still soft when cooked?

[@ChefJackOvens]

Yes still soft and so much more flavour

[@puddincupp]

What's is the note for less Heavy Cream? Sub more milk?

[@user-fx7dk1mz9z]

Can the cauliflower be roasted and covered with the sauce, but baked an hour or so later? I would like to make it ahead of time.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Yes it can. It can be done the day before too

[@user-fx7dk1mz9z]

Thank you for the reply. So, just to clarify... You would roast the cauliflower, add the sauce and grate the cheese on top and then stick it in the oven the next day?

[@ChefJackOvens]

@user-fx7dk1mz9z yep

[@deenarjee3810]

Thanks for asking this. Im going to try it

[@user-fx7dk1mz9z]

Me too. All the best 😊

[@pamcullen537]

Can I roast the cauliflower the day before and put sauce on next day or prepare the whole dish with sauce and cook next day ?

[@zebrasbean2385]

Cook it and then just reheat it ?

[@zebrasbean2385]

The sauce might get thick too tho

[@pamcullen537]

@@zebrasbean2385 Many thanks for the feedback, just figuring out what I can prep in advance

[@zildog]

Will this work with broccoli?

[@F.Andre1377]

Yes

[@user-yf9hk8ru8k]

Jack had almost identical recipe with broccoli, you can look it up on the channel, so I believe yes, it will work

[@traceyhoyle1816]

Yes it does
