Cauliflower and Romanesco Broccoli

This morning, my husband and I visited the weekly Sunday Market.  We had a list and a plan, but really we follows those anyway?  We knew we wanted some fruit, drinks, and eggs.  

But, we found cauliflower and thought of some amazing recipes we have eaten in the past out of the book Well Fed 2, one of our favorites and the one recipe book we brought with us from the U.S.!  So, we bought more than we need of course, but here they are two heads of cauliflower that we found for a total of only 3,00€.  In the picture below, are the two we purchased, on the left, a fractal, green kind of cauliflower and the right, white head of cauliflower that I know many people have seen numerous times in the past.  Because we had never seen the type of cauliflower pictured on the left, before visiting Europe (we did actually taste it for the first time in Luxembourg) I did take the time to look it up, finding it on Wikipedia as Romanesco Broccoli it was interesting to read that it was first documented in Italy.  I have added an additional, close up shot of the Romanesco Broccoli below.
