Cauliflower cheese can often be a bit boring and bland. It's more often than not, and after-thought, a mere side dish to compliment your roast beef and Yorkshire puddings. But I'm here to tell you that this dish belongs to be front and centre at the dinner table, and celebrated for the delicious thing it is (or can be). Make this, and those boring insipid cauliflower cheese's will be a thing of the past.

What you'll need to make my ultimate cauliflower cheese: Serves 4

• 1kg head of cauliflower including leaves

• 1 Spicy chorizo (about 230g)

• 3 small shallots or 1 med red onion

• 3 small garlic cloves

• 600ml of milk

• 2 tbsp of plain flour

• 2 tbsp of butter

• 1 tsp of English mustard

• 250g of mature cheddar + about 100g for topping

• Salt & white pepper to taste

• A large bag of salt and vinegar crisps (optional)

Serve as a main with some green veggies on the side like green beans or steamed kale, and of course crusty bread for dunking.
