I used to make pineapple upside down cake a lot in school cookery classes

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5562/pineapple-upsidedown-cake

or it's a favourite of mine in a fruit salad along with other fruits that are 'harder' and/or don't brown. I use pineapple, orange (satsumas etc) segments, kiwi fruit and grapes.

I'd also use cabbage for coleslaw. I mix it with grated carrot and onion and a dollop of mayo.

One of the nicest veggie meals a friend once made me, was spinach and mushroom pasties using flaky pastry. I think she might have used a small amount of sauce to bind the filling.

Cauliflower cheese. Simple. And add the spinach. Rubs Tum.

If your family are jam eaters I make a lovely Pear & Lemon jam. Much nicer than it sounds and ends up a pretty pale pink when it's ready.

I recently made Pear and Parsnip soup but it tasted too sweet for my liking but that might appeal to you.

I'd love the recipes for those, pretty please.:o

Just as an aside, someone suggested pineapple to help get rid of mouth ulcers - it seems to work, at least it seems to be helping me! Luckily for me, I love pineapple.:D

What about salmon fish cakes? you can mix the salmon with mash spuds, spinch, onion/spring onion the dunk in egg and roll in bread crumbs? I toast the crusts of loafs then blitz them!

Or wrap in foil parcels with cherry tomatoes/herbs or pesto...... or a fish pie?

as for cauliflower.... blitz it for rice? or mix with spinach, spuds,tinned toms and peas and what ever spice you can all tolerate to make like a bombay potatoes/veg curry thingie? or soup with carrots/swede/broccili and stock cube?

failing that sling it my way I love cauli cheese :rotfl:but it does smell really bad on the way out

you can have my other cauli.. lol.. stinky critters!


fish pie.. with salmon? is that allowed??

Pleased to oblige LAMEWOLF- this is the Pear and Lemon Jam recipe I use http://www.cottagesmallholder.com/pear-and-lemon-jam-recipe-93/

The Pear and Parsnip soup I cut from a mag and threw away when I didn't like it, sorry! But any Apple & Parsnip soup recipe should work ok by just substituting pears for apples.

Of course it is, you can use any fish or combination of fish/shellfish in a fish pie.

have you ever tried cauliflower roasted in the oven? OR slice into half inche slices, drizzled with garlic oil and cooked on a griddle pan? changes the taste and even cauli haters have been converted.

That is what I was going to suggest , roasted cauliflower is delicious

I see it as our OS duty to torture you with all the delicious things you can do with a cauliflower

I know you're not a curry fan, and it's probably not one that a cauli-virgin would even contemplate making at home, but I dare you to try this if you ever eat at an Indian restaurant: gobi paratha . Indescribably blimmin' delicious.

.

Recipe here for anyone brave enough to give it a go.

Definitely going to try the pear and lemon jam recipe when we have our next crop, thanks TA!
