Cauliflower has become the new 'it' food - everywhere you go it seems someone is coming up with cauliflower-this or that.
In simpler times a cauliflower cheese did the job just fine, but now it's a substitute for just about anything - including cauliflower ice cream?!
Chef Kelly Gibney gave her take on the cauliflower madness, revealing her favourite, least favourite and the overall weirdest dishes containing the versatile vegetable.
Speaking to The Project, Gibney said there are times when people are taking the cauliflower hype too far, revealing one dish, in particular, that's not worth it.
"The cauliflower pizza base - I think that is one out of 10 in my book," Gibney said. "The amount of effort you have to go to, the contortions you have to do to try and make this vegetable a pizza base. It's tasty but so much work.
"There is no way it's going to replace your Friday night easy pizza."
Gibney said the most surprising way people are consuming cauliflower is in a smoothie.
"Leftover, steamed cauliflower thrown in a freezer and then popped in your morning smoothie makes it really creamy, adds lots of goodies to it, nutrients wise, and it kind of disappears in there in a pretty delicious way."
Getting the five stars from Gibney is a roasted cauliflower salad.
She roasts the cauliflower at high heat with lots of olive oil and spices such as turmeric, cumin and sea salt.
Gibney said she roasts the vegetable until the tips are nice and brown and then adds diced dates, toasted pistachios, mint and lemon zest.
"Toss that all together and it makes the most delicious salad that is really great with fish and chicken or as a vegetarian side," Gibney said.
"It's yum."
