Boiled Cauliflower

Remove the outer leaves and cut off the stem close to the flowers. Wash thoroughly in cold water and soak in cold salted water (top downward) for one hour, allowing one tablespoon of salt to one gallon of water. Then tie it in a piece of muslin or cheesecloth to keep it whole and cook it in slightly salted boiling water until tender, keeping it closely covered. When done, lift it from the water, remove the cloth, stand it in a round dish with the flowers up, pour cream sauce over it and serve at once.- M. F. S.
