Friday Food Files With Molly Watson: Spicy Roasted Cauliflower.
As much as I’m looking forward to spring – spring vegetables (artichokes and fava beans are my favorites), spring fruits (tangy rhubarb gets me every time and the end of spring brings cherries to California), and an easing of the constant damp of San Francisco winters – I can’t help but keep looking back at the highlights of winter eating. Stews and braises and, of course, cauliflower. I love cauliflower. I only recently learned that many people do not think eating raw cauliflower is much of a treat – I was shocked! It’s so crunchy and biting and flavorful, who can resist? Well, for those for whom straight-up raw cauliflower florets are not the best of treats I worked on roasting them – to soften the flavor and the texture – and added a bit of sugar and spice to keep things interesting.
These roasted spicy cauliflower florets work as a side dish, sure, but also as a little appetizer (you can serve them passed, with toothpicks) along with drinks – they have just enough going to to stand up to the meanest of cocktails. I’ve tested them several times now – hey, it’s been a long winter!

le petite flea launches.
well, since i’m moving, and kind of going for a whole new look, it’s come time to pass along some of my vintage treasures. you must understand, it is not easy for me to part with some of these belongings. many have fond memories behind them, but i feel good about passing them along to good homes, like yours. so without further ado, i bring you sfgirlbybay’s new vintage etsy shop, le petite flea.
i’ll be adding more of my vintage finds to le petite flea, from trips to london and italy, and just across the bridge at the alameda flea market, as i go through my stash of collectibles and loosen my grip on the past. time to move on. time to purge and find new, old stuff! but you know what they say, one gal’s trash is another’s treasure. i hope you find something you like at le petite flea.
