not a bad recipe, but it would need to be stellar to make ingesting the fat worthwhile. Copious amounts of butter and cheese overwhelm the cauliflower. Probably the same intake as two pieces of cheesecake and a pint of Haagan Daz.

This cauliflower recipe tastes marvelous! I served it at a baby shower and everyone was asking, "Who made the cauliflower dish?!" I'm on a gluten-free diet & so I substituted rice "bread crumbs" for the panko, but no one noticed. I'm now a fan of Gruyere cheese - it is awesome for this type of gratin recipe. I've given the recipe to a lot of friends already!

Very good and I'm not all that fond of cauliflower! I would serve this to company.
