    If i'm making cauliflower cheese I always boil the leaves with the florets and then add them in and put cheese sauce on top - delicious!

    I have always wondered if you can use caulie leaves and now am delighted to find that I can.

    I also love use cut off the stalk of a head of broccoli, chop it up and include in a pasta and veg mix up.

    They are the only part I like.. I eat them raw.. after a fight with the rabbit.. I usually use the cauliflower leaves as a bowl and fill it with all the other veggie bits the boing loves.

    Don't waste anything - just wash thoroughly and bung it it :D

    I've even got the kids eating the stalks of raw broccoli and cauliflower (with the knobbly bits removed) as an after-school snack whilst I'm cooking dinner for the evening. It's lovely and crunchy.

    As a bit of an experiment, I've chopped and boiled them and then used them in "Bubble & Squeak". Even though I knew that they weren't the usual cabbage, I couldn't tell the difference.

    And, at £2 per kilo, you don't want to waste anything.
