Sprinkle with parsley.I got his recipe when I was in the International Kitchen in Berkeley, California in the late 50s. The group was composed of wives of foreign students and local women. We met once a month taking turns cooking a meal. The group not cooking were the sous chefs. We started early in the morning with coffee and coffee cake and a discussion of the meal we were about to share. This particular recipe came from a woman from Belgium. Glad you asked for a frosted cauliflower recipe because I hadn't thought of it in years. It's best with home made mayonnaise but is good with store bought too. It's as pretty as it is delicious.
