This is my fifth video in my winter greens series. Both Broccoli and Romanesco are much easier to grow than Cauliflower and in the case of Broccoli can be picked over a longer periods as you can pick just the florets that you need.

The tricky one!
Never has any other vegetable received so much criticism and disdain for the effects of overcooking!!! I think that everybody should celebrate the great Brussel Sprout
