The combination of tender cauliflower, creamy sauce, crisp bacon, smoky flavor, melted cheese, and crunchy topping make this dish especially appealing, as well as comforting at some deep level. It is the kind of dish I can imagine Julia and Paul Child eating half a century ago in their Paris apartment. And yes, I just saw Julie and Julia.
Moist and spongy, this delectable cake is ideal any time of day, featuring a batter topped with sliced ripe peaches and a light cinnamon streusel dusted with powdered sugar.
