I brought a lovely head of cauliflower over to me mum's tonight for tea.
We steamed it and served as usual (champagne sauce with black truffle, capers and Cambodian pepper).
This cauliflower, however, was particularily odiferous whenst cooking.
The house now seems to have a rather sulferous stench.
Would any of our kind readers have a solution to eliminating the odour of this most lovely of the cruciferous vegetables?

The last time I checked, tea is something you normally have in the morning with your breakfast or after dinner. I didn't realize tea and cauliflower were a good pairing???
As for the odour, I would try simmering some lemon slices on the stove. It works for fish so hopefully it will work for cauliflower.

I'm trying to play the GS game, goddess... Sheesh. ;)
Me dad smells kind of bad tonight, too... I am thinking of throwing him in the tub to simmer. I wonder if some lemon will work in there as well.

Keep the pot lid cracked open fairly wide when cooking brassicas. Don't overcook it, of course.

Lol. I'm a fan of Yankee Candles for such odiferous circumstances.

Manch: What on earth is a "Yankee Candle"? I hope it doesn't involve explosions... Poor Mum's ticker ain't so good and a big bang may send her off to the other side.
Anonimo: Wise advise... as always... Ta.

Ha! No, they're great. Seriously, you don't have them in SK? They're candles in glass jars w/ lids, available in various scents like hot apple pie or cranberry etc.
I think we should open a franchise in your neck of the woods!

I love them too, they are the only candles that are supposed to smell like soemthing and actually do. I don't like the food smelling ones though as they make me hungry. I like the fresh ones like fresh cotton or newly cut grass.
They don't sell them in many places round these parts and when I find a shops that has them I can spend hours just standing and sniffing candles until they ask me to leave.
Sorry, don't know anything on the caulifower front. Its not a vegetable that often springs to mind when I am deciding what to cook.
