has anyone done this at home? would it be easier to cut up the cauliflower after poaching and roast the small pieces? or do you lose something by not roasting the cauliflower whole?

When I ordered at Domenica it looked like the one in the link, big huge whole cauliflower and it was good. I ordered it not knowing it was so popular

It's funny. I've been looking at trying to do this recipe at home this weekend. During my search I came across this one that looks pretty darn good as well.

Indian cauliflower

i'm not sure how they do it at domenica. i've heard it's great. it seems to me that by cutting up the whole plant into smaller pieces would make for shorter cooking time and easier serving.
I'm just not sure I'm not missing something.
I'm sure the whole cauliflower is much more dramatic as far as presentation goes, but my wife and i aren't going to care.

I do it quite a bit and always do it whole. Pick the leaves and poach it. If you don't want to make the wine poaching liquid just use chicken stock which I do on occasion. Then make soup or something with the stock. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and good sea salt and roast until black. Might need to broil last couple minutes. Domenica puts it in a rotating wood fired pizza oven.

Shove a steak knife in it and serve with the creamed cheese mixture. I add a bit of cayenne to the cheese and it gets destroyed every time.

You can do it in pieces but I've found it doesn't hold together well when poached.

Here's a thread I started on it a few months back. A few folks made it.

Followed recipe and roasted it whole. Was not sure how to serve. Coursley cut up into big peices, put some (a lot ) of the whipped cheese mix on top and tossed together.
It was so good. I served with a ribeye. The ribeye was good...the cauliflower/ cheese was great .

Just set it on the table and let everyone cut a flower être off and dip in the whipped cheese. No need to cut it for everyone.

It's good though isn't it?

Its great - have made it with the linked Domenica recipe, and also have used a version of the linked indian recipe. I usually pit it on the Green Egg (whole) and roast it there. I also use apple wood chips to give it a smoked flavor.

That's what they do at the restaurant. The recipe is for the "at home" version as it states. Nice of the chef to provide that.

Yes, have made it and it was absolutely delicious. Lots of wine involved for a side dish, though. He suggests the poaching liquids can be repurposed, but didn't sound very appealing to me.

Made this tonight. Delicious! A little peppery so I'll use a bit less next time.

Simmering another to roast later. I'm also going to simmer some heads of broccoli and then some brussel sprouts to roast later this week. We'll see how repurposing goes. I think it's going to be good.

Use chicken stock and the repurposing is easy.

Didn't need chicken stock. Haven't roasted them yet, but the flavor is even stronger in the additional veggies. Pepper is stronger also.
