Cauliflower cheese is so simple to make and so tasty to eat, don't even think about reaching for a packet sauce mix. All they are is a bit of flour and seasoning, you probably have them in the cupboard anyway, if not buy them instead of that packet sauce.
So as I said this is really easy to make and is perfect to go with any roast dinner, to have with a jacket potato or even just to eat on its own.
The basis for the cheese sauce like for a lot of sauces is a white sauce, at its simplest just flour and milk. I like to use corn flour but you can use plain flour if you like. You might want to experiment with different cheeses, but really it doesn't matter what type of cheese you use. I like to use strong cheeses as they add real flavour, blue cheeses make really good tangy cheese sauces. Experiment!
