This has got to be the most unusual recipe I have come across in… well, since I can remember. Caulifower and donut in the same sentence? Somehow you make it sound yummy. My fave donuts in the world are made with potato dough, btw, so maybe that’s part of it. They’re called Spudnuts and they put Krispy Kreme to shame!

These look awesome! I’m salivating despite a large helping of cinghiale at lunch (with cicoria ripassata). Looking forward to seeing you Thursday. :-)

These didn’t resemble fritters, of which I am inordinately fond. Fritters I always think of as more crunchy whereas these are very yeasty yum. The book places them under “breads”! No help at all.

Hey, worth a try, yes?

I try to avoid frying too much, but these do sound very good. Of course, since there are only 3 of us, I don’t think I’ll be making them anytime soon, but maybe the next time I have guests over…

Wouldn’t “fritter” do the job? Admittedly, most fritter batters are not made with yeast, but a cauliflower fritter makes more sense – and sounds more appealing – to me than a cauliflower doughnut.

All the “cose fritte” I ate in Puglia were antipasti rather than contorni.

I never thought caulifolower would sound appetizing, but maybe it’s just my southern roots: breaded and deep-fried will improve almost anything! (Altho I STILL think those fried Mars bars from Scotland sound gross!)
