Meal 2: Cauliflower Cheese

Please don't call me a cheat but I have made this before and there's no ingredients in it that I don't like... I said don't.
 The thing about cauliflower cheese is that I had to make a roux sauce or a white sauce or a cheese sauce (whatever you like to call it). Pasta is easy to do and although the cauliflower was awkward to chop, all I had to do was boil it. The sauce is where I failed.
 Firstly, as soon as my sister, Leah, saw the video she told me I had put the flour in wrong and that I didn't have to sieve it. And secondly, I just couldn't get the consistency or the taste right AT ALL. But I had no idea how to fix it so I just threw it in with the pasta and the cauliflower anyway.
 A white sauce might be something I have to practice making. Which I did. I made a lasagne recently (blog post to come) which contained a white sauce, but that also had its problems and they were completely different to this time.
 Here's the link to the cauliflower cheese video- filmed by my lovely friend, Sarah.

As you can see we had a bit of trouble with the salt. Even so, Sarah thought it still needed more salt and my mum thought it was too salty. Can't please everyone eh?
