We like crème brûlée and we also like cauliflower. But together? Apparently it works. So says Jamie Oliver alumnus Aaron Craze who gives us his cauliflower crème brûlée recipe.

He rose to fame in Jamie’s Kitchen, when Oliver took on 15 raw recruits and school drop outs to learn the trade at Fifteen. After that he was part of CBBC’s Junior Masterchef where a Aaron Craze’s cauliflower crème brûlée recipe would not have been amiss!
