    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       11/22/2018   This has been my vegetarian contribution to Thanksgiving dinner for many years. It's a favorite, even among my husband's very non-veggie eating family and they still request it year after year. I make it exactly as the recipe is and it comes out perfectly every time! The cayenne pepper is what really makes it perfect. Thanks, Martha!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/11/2016   Look great. How does all this amount fit in a 1 1/2 qt dish?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/17/2014   Made this recipe per instructions. It was very good- husband said it was his faovorite cauliflower dish ever- none of the others come even close. Very creamy and cheesy.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       11/23/2013   Delicious! Because gruyere can be quite expensive, I used half gruyere and half jarlsberg cheese. Yes, put the couscous in uncooked - there is plenty of liquid for it to absorb. One time I didn't have couscous so I used uncooked orzo and it was equally delicious. You cannot substitute 'endive' for 'belgian endive' - they share a word but are completely different. 'Endive' is a curly leafy green, while belgian endive is similar to cabbage in that it is collection of very tight leaves.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/19/2008   this looks wonderful. do you cook the pasta/couscous first? does it receive enough moisture without mixing it?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/22/2008   I made this for Thanksgiving last year. However I mixed the cauliflower, endive, fregola sarda and cheese mixtures together and then topped with parmesan and breadcrumbs because it didn't really work layerd as the recipes dictates. It was delicious!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/22/2007   I tried this for Thanksgiving and it was absolutely delicious!!! I'm a beginner cook and this recipe was definitely manageable. This will be on I make again in the near future.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/21/2007   can i prepare this dish a day in advance? and then reheat it?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/19/2007   Can regular endive be used? Is Belgian endive difficult to find?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/13/2007   This looks delicious and easy, and not your average side dish! I'm going to try it for Thanksgiving.

Can regular endive be used? Is Belgian endive difficult to find?
