The Story Behind: Here's a secret no chef should admit: I used to hate cauliflower. It was the one vegetable I refused to eat because of its strong smell from my childhood days in Milan. But as I grew older, something unexpected happened. On a date, I ordered a salmon dish with roasted cauliflower. To play it cool, I decided to give it a try. And guess what? I was pleasantly surprised. Cauliflower turned out to be surprisingly delicious. If you are not a fan of cauliflower, give it another try. Our tastes change over time, so you might be pleasantly surprised. Exploring new foods sparks interesting conversations, and incorporating fresh herbs promotes health and connects you with nature. Try this recipe and surprise yourself.

Chef comment and judge rating: Chef Giuseppe Urbano says,“This Mediterranean-style soup is now on my favorite list of appetizers, both for winter and chilled for summer. What I like best about this healthy soup is its creamy texture, even though it is dairy-free. It pairs well with white meats and fish on the menu, and it is simple to prepare. It is a great Mediterranean diet weekly recipe, and it is easy to warm up again in case you like to take it to eat later at work or for a picnic”.
