Food Network celebrity chef Tyler Florence has a new cookbook on bookstore shelves this week. It's a huge, gorgeous book showcasing page after page of seductive food photography. It's almost too pretty to use as a cookbook, yet Florence's recipes are as equally tempting as the images!
The vibrant colors of the enticing food leaps off the pages. The beets and strawberries are as red as you've ever seen, as are the lush greens of the asparagus and key lime pie. You have to see it to believe it!
Don't forget the upcoming Tyler Florence Cookbook signings: See the articles, 'Tyler Florence Fresh' cookbook review: Celebrity chef's book signings scheduled, and also Food Network chef plans 'Tyler Florence Fresh' cookbook signing Providence, R.I. for more details and locations.

Roasted Cauliflower Recipe with Anchovy, Capers, and Fresh Thyme Recipe
Ingredients:
Cauliflower
- 2 heads cauliflower (preferably different colors)
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Garlic Chips
- Olive oil, for frying
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 oil-packed anchovy fillets, finely minced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon salt-packed capers, rinsed and drained
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- ½ lemon
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano
Directions:
- Roast the cauliflower. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Remove the green leaves from the cauliflower and reserve. Cut the cauliflower heads in half, then into bite-size florets. Cut the stalks into bite-size pieces also. Place the florets and stalk pieces in a roasting pan, and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until golden and tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter lined with paper towels to drain.
- Make the garlic chips. Pour ¼ inch of oil into a small saucepan. Add the garlic and set the pan over medium heat. Heat the oil until the chips are golden and crisp, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Make the anchovy sauce. Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and fry the anchovies, garlic, capers, and thyme, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the anchovies and infuse the oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until fragrant. Add the cream and Parmesan, and bring to a simmer. Just before serving, add the roasted cauliflower pieces and fold in the reserved leaves. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, and top with the fried garlic chips, cracked black pepper, and shaved Parmesan.
- Serves 4 to 6
