It’s really good fun to play around with different cheeses in this dish and how they taste and melt.

It’s also nice to try different veg instead of cauliflower – for instance, 2–3cm chunks of celeriac,
RECIPE ADAPTED FROM squash, potatoes or leeks would all work a treat. Have a play and see what your favourites are –
Jamie Oliver's some veg might take longer to cook than others, so test with a knife to check they’re cooked
