MARINATED CAULIFLOWER AND CARROTS WITH MINT
This is an elaboration of one of my favorite carrot dishes. That dish couldn't be simpler - steamed carrots tossed with sherry vinegar, olive oil, salt and fresh mint. It is good at room temperature or warm, as a starter or a side dish. I added steamed cauliflower to the mix but made no other changes to the formula. The cauliflower, which always loves a vinegar marinade, is a wonderful addition, very compatible with the carrots and pretty, too. The dish is great for a buffet as it only gets better as it sits. The dish is particularly beautiful if you use different colored carrots.

MARINATED ROMANESCO AND CAULIFLOWER SALAD
A broccoli salad recipe I played with. Printed in First magazine, June 1998. You could also substitute broccoflower for the romanesco. References online describe the romanesco as looking like a cross between a wedding cake and a star fish! Similar to cauliflower and cooked in much the same way, but it has a nuttier flavor. Do give it a try! It's a shame to have to chop the romanesco up for this recipe! Another way to serve it is to steam the romanesco whole with just the lower stalk cut off and florets left intact. Talk about a presentation! Add a drizzle of lemon juice or butter; sprinkle of salt and pepper. Oh yes!

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Select a cauliflower head that is compact and heavy for its size. Avoid heads with brown spots or blemishes.
- Cut the cauliflower into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to do this.
- Marinate the cauliflower for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors to penetrate the cauliflower and make it more flavorful. You can use a variety of marinades, such as olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
- Preheat the oven to the correct temperature: This will help the cauliflower to cook evenly. The ideal temperature for roasting cauliflower is 425°F (220°C).
- Roast the cauliflower until it is tender and slightly browned: This will usually take about 20-25 minutes. You can check the cauliflower for doneness by piercing it with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the cauliflower is done.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately:Roasted cauliflower is best served hot. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.
