Quantities of everything (including the cauliflower itself) are all sort of approximate, and can be varied to suit your taste/appetite.

- Add a little bit of cornstarch or flour to thicken the sauce: This will help to give the sauce a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for a bit of extra flavor.
- Serve the sauce immediately: Cheese sauce is best served fresh and hot. It can be used as a dip for vegetables, chips, or bread, or it can be poured over pasta, chicken, or fish.
