I think you just changed my mind about cauliflower.
I wish Dan was my husband and would cook me this every night.
It's a shame that Dan and Christopher Kimball's Milk Street didn't join forces. The two of them would be a great duo together.
3:10 10-20 minutes get a green-and-sulfurous flavor.
30-40 minutes get a nutty-buttery flavor.
Got it. That's what I came back here for. Thank you!
It will work the same on regular cabbage, right?
Anyway to get these recipes without having to give ATK one's credit card?
Try vegan butter! Miyokos is the best. Browns beautifully.
Cauliflower is the worst vegetable. Styrofoam.
Must try the soup.
Super!!!! thank you
So sexy and HOT!
I can't believe that his full name is nowhere to be seen here. What's his last name?
Tldr; take vegetable, add butter, cook, eat.
I like this man's style.
Dan's science class🙏🙏good too see so many types cauliflower and last one looked like an alien!!
I love steamed cauliflower and dip in sriracha mayo.
This is a carefully prepared dish. I have always liked that kind of food because it is rich in nutrients. Thanks for sharing 👏👏👏
Why provide a recipe link that blocks you from seeing the actual recipe unless you subscribe (for $$)?
When you said “Pizza” I thought of crust.
That soup looks amazing.
this cauliflower soup was one of the most subtle, wondrous things i've ever had the pleasure of making
Awesome! I think we found our new America’s Test Kitchen Star ⭐️
My italian friend often keeps cooked cauliflower in the fridge to eat it cold with olive oil and a bit of lemon juice as a starter… It's so freaking delicious!
I am an avid watcher of America's Test Kitchen and always look for Dan.
Made my first cauliflower cheese. The CF was 2/3 steamed, 1/3 roasted. Added another dimension to the dish, M
Brown butter is good on a flip flop! 🙂
I will never make or cook a cauliflower steak I think it is ridiculousness and nonsense and if I want rice I will make rice not rice from a vegetable that sort of looks like rice and acts nothing like rice!
I like the subtle cabbage flavor of raw cauliflower but I didn't grow up with crudité being a big thing! It was by the time I was in high school but not before that.
Purple cauliflower turns blue when it's cooked and it looks gross.
I see roasted, I see creamy cauliflower cheese soup and I see British cauliflower cheese which is not a replacement for macaroni cheese. Cauliflower cheese has been eaten for many decades in the UK as a dish unto itself. 🙂
The soup WAS amazing! One head plus 1/2 cup cooking liquid made soup for two. The pan fried florets were gilding on this simple masterpiece.
Looks like cauliflower is back in the menu. Very interesting soup and of course excellent explanation.
Escabeche. It's usually cooked along with other vegetables such as carrots, onions, cabbages, peppers, with vinegar and salt. The flavour that the cauliflower gets it's unique. It takes me back to those Sunday breakfasts in restaurants. Greetings from CDMX Mexico 🇲🇽!!!
Who would have tought? Thank you–I'll try this!
Amazing!! PLEASE do more videos like this!!
Thank you for telling me nothing about cauliflower
I cann't belive the soup contains cream of Cauliflower and crispy cauliflower.. This is great.
Cauliflower is my favorite veggie. I love it, it goes great with anything else you eat or all by itself.
As a science geek, i appreciate the scientific explanations and experiments..
Thank you for the shout out for my favorite veggie! Plant-based eating is PLANTabulous!
