"THIS WAS MOTHER'S favorite vegetable dish for Thanksgiving dinner because it was so showy. The huge head of cauliflower was presented whole, covered with cheese sauce. The green beans surrounding it gave the dish a bright, festive look."

This is such a pretty presentation that it's perfect fare for the holidays and parties. The topping for the cauliflower is very nice, but I don't think there is enough of it. I double that part and serve it in a chafing dish by itself (after I pour a little bit over the head of cauliflower and strew it with the almonds). This way diners can get as much sauce as they want without others getting stinted.
