The cauliflower and taleggio cheese gratin may be an accompaniment on Smith’s menu, but, as far as I’m concerned, it outshines any other dish. I could go back daily for this creamy gratin and its thin layer of browned cheese on top. Cauliflower is a seemingly innocuous vegetable, but it’s so juicy and light on the palate. And when paired with cheese, whether roasted or au gratin, it is just too close to perfection.
