Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies. After working in public health and private practice for 22 years, I retired my dental hygiene license. I have taught cooking classes at Whole Foods and Central Market, done product development for a bakery in east Texas, catered, and been a personal chef. I usually think of myself as an improvisational cook!

While I had the smoker going for Smoked Meatloaf, I also made some smoked cauliflower.  With two ingredients, this is a delicious side as is, or add great flavor to another cauliflower recipe.  There are lots of cauliflower recipes on this site, just put cauliflower in the search line below.

Posted on August 1, 2016 by Lanie Fioretti
