Cauliflower cheese is one of those comfort foods which most of us remember our Mum making when we were growing up. Whether you have it as a side dish to the Sunday roast or as an evening meal midweek we really enjoy it.
Celebrating Heritage British Food & Cooking
It might be a generational thing but our boys never showed any interest in cauliflower or broccoli, but the grandchildren seem to like both.
I think this recipe was popular in the UK during the 1950s and 1960s because my parent’s generation was subject to food rationing and cauliflower with a little bacon and cheese made a filling family meal.
The Cauliflower itself seems to have originated in Cyprus and was incorporated into British cooking when it was colonised. From there it found its way into the cuisines of other British colonies including India where it is a staple food.
Cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, containing some of almost every vitamin and mineral that you need.
A recipe for cauliflower cheese can be found in Mrs Beetons Book of Household Management of 1861.
