About Kristen

What part of living blissfully in New York and owning an art gallery didn’t work for me? Well, the part that was transferred to London with my husband’s job… Five years later, here we are, deliriously content to live in the second greatest city in the world (first? second?), cooking, eating, watching our remarkable daughter bring herself up in style, and describing it all here, for posterity.

Cauliflower Puree

(serves four)

1 medium head cauliflower, separated into florets
1/2 stick butter
cream to taste
salt and pepper

In a large saucepan cover the cauliflower with water and season with salt. Bring to a boil and boil high for 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly. With a hand blender, blend with butter and as much cream as you need to get the consistency you want: less for thick, more for creamier. Season to taste.
