It is overcast, drizzly and gloomy in Huntington Beach today. Cooking weather!
My good friend Sarah is an Ina Garten devotee. Well, actually, she is an “Ina ♥ Jeffrey” devotee. Show Sarah a good romance and she’s hooked. Connect the romance to good food and Sarah is lost. (I do have to admit that the Ina loves Jeffrey meme is pretty compelling. I’d cast Barbra Streisand as Ina and Robert Redford as Jeffrey in the movie. No! Wait! That’s been done. Then, again, I’d cast Robert Redford as the romantic lead in just about every movie.)
I do have to admit that this cauliflower gratin is food for the gods! The Gruyere and Asaigo-laced white sauce is to die for and who doesn’t love cauliflower? My kitchen smells wonderful. And the counterpoint of the crunchy-cheesy topping and the smooth cheesy white sauce is spectacular.
This is an adaptation of a recipe from Garten’s Barefoot in Paris book. Buy it. It is a great book.
Sarah convinced me to buy Garten’s newest book, Cooking for Jeffrey. Sarah is an enabler for my cookbook-buying addiction. Bad Sarah.
I’m trying a new piece of software that will permit you to print Blue Cayenne recipes without all the narrative. I tried a different program earlier in the week and it didn’t work out. Cross you fingers that this one doesn’t conflict with any of the other widgets I’m using on this site. A year ago, when I started this blog, I didn’t even know what a widget was.
