Cauliflower in Cream. Cauliflower takes from half to three- quarters ot an hour to cook done. It ehould not boil rapidly enough to de- stroy the small flowerets. Try the stems with a fork and take off when tender. A lump of baking soda the size of a bean in the water will hasten the cook- ing without injuring the vegetable. Divide the cauliflower into portions of convenient size before cooking, and when drained and dished up pour a spoonful or two of good strained cream sauce

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
