(_See_ BROCOLI.) CAULIFLOWER AU GRATIN .-- This is a very nice method of serving cauliflower as a course by itself.

The cauliflower or cauliflowers should first be boiled till thoroughly tender, very carefully drained, and then placed upright in a vegetable-dish with the flower part uppermost.

The whole of the flower part should then be _masked_ (_i.e._, covered over) with some thick white sauce.

Allemande sauce or Dutch sauce will do.
