I'm a bit mean re cauliflower at the moment as they are very expensive here. Around $4-5.
The recipe looks lovely for when winter arrives and they are cheaper.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Oh yum Judy, they look so good. A great way of getting the kids to eat more veggies. Will be giving these a go for sure.

Made these tonight, very nice, I added 1/2 tsp of ground cumin and coriander and you could still taste the cauliflower.  The kids and DH ate them with chutney, I preferred sweet chilli sauce.  Will definetly be doing these again.
