  • About
This vegetable is known to the cook in three different forms:

(1) Most of the cauliflowers which are sold between October and June come from the broccoli plant, which is very hardy. (The cauliflower plant proper is less hardy and supplies the typical white heads during the summer and early autumn, before the frosts appear.) This form of broccoli is cooked by the methods suggested for Cauliflower.

(2) The Calabresse, green or Italian sprouting broccoli, produces a medium-sized green central head which is usually available in March. It is cooked like cauliflower and served with melted butter.
