To celebrate the arrival of Golden Grind Turmeric Blend at Angea, we thought we’d share their delicious Golden Turmeric Vegan Cauliflower Cheese recipe. Turmeric is fast becoming the golden superfood of wellness, it is known and proven to: aid digestion, help support healthy liver function, act as a strong antioxidant, stimulate contractions of the gallbladder, help aid the symptomatic relief of dysmenorrhea (TCM) and help relieve mild rheumatic joint pain (Ayuervedic).
A limited amount of studies have shown promising results in aiding the management of ailments such as chronic inflammation, cancer prevention, treatment of depression, immune regulation, pain relief, skin disease, bone disease and various others creating a focus point for research to come.
Natural turmeric powder has low bioavailability, indeed most of the turmeric ingested is not absorbed by the intestines. However, one thing that is know is that when piperine (a wonderful molecule found inside black pepper) is added, the bioavailability of the turmeric increases by 2000%.
- 1/2 Head Cauliflower (Rinsed)
- 1/2 Cup Cashew Nuts (Soaked 3-8hrs)(Or overnight)
- 1/2 Onion (Diced)
- 4 Cloves Garlic (Diced)
- 2 Sprigs Spring Onion (Diced)
- 2 TBS Nutritional Yeast
- 1/2 Tsp Golden Grind Turmeric Blend
- 1 TBS Organic Cold Pressed Coconut Oil
- 1 Tsp Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil
- 1/2 Vegetable Stock (Good Quality – Sugar Free)
- Pinch of Salt

- Clean and rinse your cauliflower and steam for 10mins. Place into a pie dish. My dish is 17cm/6.5inches.
- In a small pot on a medium heat, saute the onion, spring onion and garlic in the coconut oil until golden brown. Add a little water (3-5TBS) as you add the stock cube, ensuring that it dissolves.
- Add the turmeric and salt, turn off the heat and allow to simmer.
- In a blender, add the cashew nuts, and when the onion mixture is cooled down a bit, add it to the nuts, leaving the liquid behind in the pot.
- Add the nutritional yeast and olive oil and blend, slowly adding the flavorful stock water from the pot until a smooth, creamy consistency is reached.
- Place the steamed cauliflower florets into the pie dish and pour over the cheesy sauce, ensuring all is covered.
- Grill for 5-8 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cook and enjoy!
