How can I get a recipe from WDW?

[Jackie H.]

We just got back from a 6 night stay at AKL. At Boma (the buffet), they had the most declious soup! It was called Chedder & Cauliflower. It was heavenly!

I regret horribly not asking for the recipe! Does anyone know how I could get it now?

She is the contact for the culinary team and has been most helpful in getting recipes to those of us who forgot to ask when we were there. Just do us a favor and post any that you get from her.

PS - Isn't their food the best?!?!?!?

OOh that soup sounds delicious. If you do get the recipe would you be so kind as to share it with the rest of the class? Thanks!

I would be happy to share the recipe, but alas no luck...

I emailed Peggy Gentry and she replied:

"Normally we are more than happy to share recipes with our guests. However, we are unable to share the recipe for the cheddar cauliflower soup as this was a special menu item. This dish was an expression of our culinary team's creativity, and no actual recipe was written."

My tough luck! If I had asked that night the chef might have tried to at least tell me what was in it and I could've experimented.

Here is a lesson for all: if you want the recipe, don't be shy about asking!

That's too bad. The advice is sound, though. I didn't bother to ask for the recipe for the grilled shrimp we had on our last night. (It was late & we were tired.) When I wrote from home shortly after I got a similar response (about it being a special one-time offering.) I must say it didn't really surprise me that it was a one-time only thing. It was sooooo outstanding that they couldn't keep up with the demand!

Here is a Cauliflower and Cheddar Cheese Recipe that I have made up before - it came from book of Scottish Recipe's - we love it, but of course, I don't know if it is the same as that you tasted at WDW.

1 Medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
40 grammes butter
1 Large Cauliflower
1 Tablespoon Grain Mustard
900ml Boiling Water
50 ml Double Cream
50 grammes Grated Strong Cheddar Cheese
Parsley for garnish.

Heat the butter in a large pan, add the chopped onion and garlic and heat through for a further couple of minutes till they are softened and clear.
Meanwhile chop cauliflower into tiny pieces and add to the onion mix, then stir in the water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes. Stir well and add Mustard and Cheese. Adjust seasoning to taste. Blend with the cream in a liquidiser.

Serve with chopped parsley on the top and fresh crusty bread

Hope you like it and that it is similar to that you've tasted.

THank you!

That is so nice of you. I will certainly give it a try!
