Cauliflower Cheese and Tomatoes

Submitted by Mme M

"From the Dairy Book of British Food. "The smoothness of the cheese sauce contrasts well with the slight crispness of the cauliflower. Double Gloucester is a pale, mild cheese with a gentle, salty tang. Worcestershilre sauce and chutney give a lively depth of flavor to this dish". If you can't get Gloucestershire cheese, try a mild to medium fairly crumbly cheddar."
