How do you know when this Spiced Roasted Cauliflower is cooked?

Roast in the preheated oven for about an hour making sure to stir occasionally so that everything cooks evenly. Then stab the cauliflower with a fork a few times to check it is cooked enough for you – you can eat the cauliflower with a bit of bite to it or cook it a bit longer for a softer texture.

Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.

Hi,

Can you recommend a good Greek Style Salad Cheese – i.e. where to get it (I know it will be located in the fridge of a supermarket)?
