LEEK AND CAULIFLOWER GRATIN image

I have some fresh leeks and cauliflower coming from my organic delivery company this week, so I went looking for a recipe to use both. I was happily surprised to find this one which also uses cheese--my biggest love! Making it in just a few days! Recipe: laaloosh.com 01-21-15
