"THIS WAS MOTHER'S favorite vegetable dish for Thanksgiving dinner because it was so showy. The huge head of cauliflower was presented whole, covered with cheese sauce. The green beans surrounding it gave the dish a bright, festive look."

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used a mix of slivered and whole almonds, which gave it a nice texture. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
