About Me

My photo
I will attempt to update wartime recipes to modern tastes, in order to keep up with new trends, attitudes and approaches to food and it's preparation while still keeping a traditional British wartime feel to recipes. I will start by making recipes to the letter and move forward from there to encompass different modern diets. I will attempt to make meals first fit in to a popular diet plan and then will move on to Vegetarian/Vegan versions. So that everyone can enjoy British wartime recipes. This experiment is for my own amusement as well as to feel closer to my grandparents over the years they cooked and lived through hard times.

Cauliflower and bacon bake.

Yesterdays dinner was a delicious cauliflower and bacon bake. So good that I forgot to photograph it as i was too busy eating!!

Ingredients:
1 full head of Cauliflower
3 slices Bacon
1 Onion
1/2 cup grated Mature Cheddar Cheese
2 tbsp Margarine
1 tbsp Flour
1/4 pint Milk
1 tsp Parsley

Method:
Steam or boil some cauliflower until cooked through. Drain and place in an ovenproof dish. Chop an onion and some bacon and fry. Sprinkle the cooked bacon over the cauliflower. Then in a pan melt the margarine, add a little flour and stir into a paste. Little by little add the milk until you have a smooth sauce. Add the cooked onion and parsley to the sauce and cook for a further 5 minutes. Take the sauce off the heat and pour over the cauliflower and bacon. Sprinkle grated cheese on top and oven bake at gas mark 4 for an hour.
