Cauliflower has really been gaining popularity in gluten-free and vegan communities in the last few years. It's such and amazing and diverse food item that can be made into several dishes that will blow your mind. So, don't shy away from it.

With its neutral flavor we've found ourselves creating more and more recipes with cauliflower as the main ingredient. Pizza crust in our home made pizza, gnocchi made with cauliflower flour, and even buffalo spicy sandwiches.

You'll find Cauliflower adapts well to flavors. Especially with the sweet and spicy flavors of tamale pie. The ingredients bake down into the cauliflower, mixing and enhancing it.
