===Method===
* The next day, grate the Cheese for cooking and topping separately in the TM and coat the cooking Cheese in the Cornflour (I used Gruyere for cooking and a mixture of that and mature Cheddar for the topping) and set aside.
* Put one third of the Cauliflower into the internal Steaming basket with the Vegetable stock and water '''16 minutes / Temp. Varoma / Speed 1.'''
* Meanwhile, Deep fry the remaining third of the Cauliflower at 180º C until golden Brown.
* Drain the Cauliflower on kitchen paper and Deep fry the Garlic until golden Brown, but make sure it doesn't burn.

* Reduce the Stock / water mix to 200ml '''18 minutes / Temp. Varoma / Speed 1''' and leave in the bowl.
* Preheat the Grill to high.
* Add the Wine, cornfloured Cheese, butter and the Fried Garlic to the TM bowl with the Butter '''5 minutes/ 90º / Speed 4'''.
* Add the Cream cheese and cook at the same setting for a further 1 minute.
* Process '''15 seconds / Speed 5-10 progressively''', so that the Garlic is well pulverised.
