One of my favorite sauces ever is the smokey, tangy, unforgettable party in your mouth, buffalo sauce. It wasn’t until I visited the US when I was younger that I was introduced to this deliciously spicy sauce that I was immediately hooked! These days, I prefer a whole food version made from scratch with upgraded ingredients slathered over the perfect veggie host, cauliflower (as opposed to the traditional breaded and fried chicken wings). Hence, the birth of my Buffalo ‘Cauliwings,’ which consequently became a party and game day (hellloooo Super Bowl, rugby and AFL) favorite. Whenever I made them my friends (and family) would go cray-cray for them! SCORE!

Packed with plenty of nutrition this buffalo sauce is (pun intended) a real ‘game changer,’ and don’t let cauliflower be your only vehicle, as it also makes the most delicious dip with veggie crudités, sauce (over roasted veg, or your fav protein like fish and roasted chicken) and marinade.
