Cauliflower Cheese

What You Need:

1. 2 large Potatoes
2. A Cauliflower
3. Grated Cheddar Cheese
4. Cheese Sauce Granules OR to make the sauce yourself:
5. Butter or Marg
6. 1tbsp Plain Flour
7. 450ml Milk
8. 1/2 an Onion
9. Extra Grated Cheddar Cheese

Cut the potatoes into bitesize pieces, add to a large pot of boiling water and start to cook, after 5 mins add the chopped cauliflower.

Once cooked drain the potatoes and cauliflower and put in an ovenproof dish. Make up the cheese sauce, pour over the vegetables, sprinkle cheese over the top and bake for 15-20 minutes at 180c/Gas mark 4.

To make Cheese Sauce: Finely chop and fry the onion in some butter or margarine, add another lump of margarine and add a generous tablespoon of plain flour and mix it in. Add a small amount of milk and mix, add some more and mix again - you should end up using approx 450ml of milk and as it gets hot it will thicken up. Then add a big handful of grated cheddar cheese to make it a cheese sauce.

This recipe is quite filling even on it's own, but if you feel you need a more complete meal, try adding a few chopped pre-cooked sausages to the dish before baking.

Warm Potato Salad

What You Need:

1. Baby New Potatoes
2. 1 Small Onion
3. Mayonaise
4. Fresh Chives or Spring Onions

Chop the potatoes into bitesize pieces and boil them in their skins. Cook until soft but still firm, drain. Finely chop the onion and stir in with the potatoes and mayonnaise while the potatoes are still warm, then add a handful of finely chopped fresh chives (or Spring Onions if using).

Serve immediately.
