Recipe for Cauliflower Cheese

I had rather despaired of cauliflower until I grew them myself. However I have failed to find the name of the old variety which we ate as children.

Cauliflower varieties seem to have suffered more from the point of view of flavour than most other vegetables. The leaves have more flavour than the curd so make sure not to discard them. Even a mediocre cauliflower can be made to taste delicious in a bubbling cheese sauce.
