About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - though this site helps a bit. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

Crunchy, nutty, creamy. A very summery salad.

If served as a main course (with bread and tomato salad) the quantity given serves four, not six.

I stir-fried the cauliflower in a wok instead of basically deep-frying it like the recipe said (half a liter of oil? You must be kidding!). This worked fine. I needed three batches, but if your wok isn't too big you might need more.
