Don’t be scared that there is nothing in heaven here other than a piece of cauliflower. It is no coincidence that this will be the main character in this recipe. I want to show that there is only one such modest vegetable that can conjure a true hedonistic feast. It's not really a real recipe, it's more of a cooking technology, more of a cooking idea, but for me it's one of my favorite cooking methods and my experience is that once you try it, there's no going back. It's one of the finest things in the world.
