GUACA BRAIN DIP WITH SPOOKY CRACKERS IN A CAULIFLOWER ‘BOWL’ This is a super fun, simple, and safe way to get kids cooking. Let them use different types of cookie cutters to create shapes. Top tip: kids love to cut out letters to make words and their own names! Although a great Halloween treat (as seen in the photo) this is a fun activity anytime the family is together. INGREDIENTS 4 (multigrain) tortilla wraps
1 small cauliflower
2 tbsp. olive oil, or truffle oil for a more decadent version
1 portion of Pom Pom guacamole (see p.36) or your favorite store-bought guac
Curry powder, or try your own spice mixtures using paprika, ground cumin, onion powder, etc.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED Cookie cutters (seasonally-themed if appropriate, or alphabet-shaped)
Baking tray Baking paper
METHOD 1 Preheat the oven to 180C/350ºF/ gas mark 4. Brush both sides of the tortillas with oil. Use cookie cutters to cut as many shapes out of the tortillas as possible. If you or the kids are finding it hard to push the cutter all the way through the tortilla, you can finish the job with some clean kitchen scissors. 2 Arrange the shapes on a baking tray lined with baking paper and sprinkle them with the curry powder or spice mix of your choosing. Bake the shapes until they are crispy, ±8 minutes, though keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.

3 Meanwhile, wash the cauliflower. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut a slice from the top (opposite side of the stem) so it can stand upside down. Remove as much of the tough stem as you can to create space while keeping the head in one piece. 4 To serve, fill the cauliflower ‘bowl’ with guacamole and dip the baked tortilla shapes into it.
