Home from school today, my kids were after a snack and were uninterested in healthy bananas.
The Queen suddenly mentioned that she’d like cauliflower dip. This is a remembered recipe from my childhood, when my mum used it to get my sister and I to consume veggies.
The Queen asked if she could also have ‘some of those green balls’ to dip in it too. This is a mother’s triumph – a child asking for sprouts!
Sadly (!) we were out of sprouts so they just dipped the cauli:

Curry dip – the summary
4-5 tbspns creme fraiche
1-2 tbspns mayonnaise
1 tspn curry powder
Place ingredients in bowl. Stir.
Enough to dip a whole cauliflower, broken into florets. Can also be used to dip breadsticks, sprouts, carrots etc, but the pepperiness of a cauliflower goes really well.

Can you come and live with us and make our kids like cauliflower please!?
This combination is really lovely – you never know, they might be persuaded! It doesn’t taste like cooked cauli at all.
but it looks like cauli! I’ll give it a go and blame you!
