Cauliflower cheese, roast vegetables and bacon wrapped chicken breast

Today was a day when we needed comfort food - so we have an ENORMOUS cauliflower, in cheese sauce with a breadcrumb topping - with some roast potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and red onion.  For the veg dodger (who didn't dodge this veg) we also had bacon wrapped chicken breast.

Cheese
Potatoes
Olive oil
Carrots
Mushrooms
Red onion
Garlic
Cauliflower
Chicken breasts
Bacon
Soya milk
Cornflour
Breadcrumbs

1.  Grate shed loads of cheese.
2.  Scrub potatoes and chop into chunks, roast at 180 for about 20 minutes.
3.  Break cauliflower into florets and steam - for about 15 minutes.
4.  Peel carrots, chop mushrooms into quarters and red onions into wedges.  Add some lightly crushed garlic cloves and put into the baking tray with the potatoes.  Stir them around and pop back into the oven for 40 minutes.
5.  Wrap chicken breasts in bacon, roast for 30 minutes.
6.  Make cheese sauce.  Heat soya milk, when nearly boiling add slaked cornflour (cornflour mixed with enough water to produce a loose paste) and stir.  When the sauce starts to thicken add most of the grated cheese.  Keep stirring until cheese is dissolved and sauce is thick.
7.  Transfer cauliflower to oven dish, pour on sauce - top with breadcrumbs mixed with the rest of the cheese.  Pop in the oven to brown for 20 minutes.
8.  Serve, scoff - it was delicious.
