3/12/2012I made this recipe for the family on night and got such great reviews that I immediately made it again the next night. I substituted toasted almonds for the hazelnuts with great results. Very yummy!

10/11/2010This is my favourite vegetable dish and I've made it so often, I can whip it together in 20 minutes. For a real quick option, I just brown the cauliflower in the butter, season & serve! For the hazelnuts, I found when I toasted them in a really hot pan (carefully! but I was short on time), the skins pratically fell off many of them; no rubbing required! I picked out enough for the recipe and left the rest. Small florets are necessary, but I cut back on the butter and make sure they're well browned & well seasoned with salt.

1/1/2010Not sure what I did wrong, but this recipe did not go over well at all with my guests. Perhaps I didn't cut the florets small enough, but it took a lot longer to cook, and was pretty flavorless. Definitely the low point of my New Years Eve dinner.

12/29/2009Awesome! I hate cauliflower & I had 2 servings! The nuts & pears really make this recipe. I toasted the hazelnuts the night before. I also used only 4 leaves of sage. This was really tasty & easy to make.

10/27/2008This was fabulous. Made it for a dinner party and got raves. Peeling the filberts was the most time consuming part of the recipe. Next time I'll try walnuts. SEveral friends are not eating potatoes these days and this is a great substitute dish. Although it is so easy to prepare and so tasty, it will be a dish I prepare weekday also.

10/14/2008I made this on the weekend for our Canadian Thanksgiving and it was great. I really loved the nutty flavor and the pear added a nice texture. I'll be making this again at Christmas, if not before then.

10/12/2008My girls age 11 and 14 love cauliflower, so when I saw this recipe I just had to try it. This weekend I bought a beautiful large head of cauliflower at the farmers market and I ended up making it two days in a row. I had forgotten to buy hazelnuts at the market, so decided to substiture almonds. The dish was terrific. I used a little less sage ( 4 leaves) - again due to my younger daughters not liking to be overwhelmed by some flavors. This is a definite for my 2008 Thanksgiving menu !
