I've never had a really strong opinion either way about cauliflower. Not after I figured out it was nothing like broccoli. But it also doesn't jump to my mind when I think vegetable, either.
The starch - Potato.
I don't really care for potatoes. It's a texture thing. If they're in chip or french fry form, I can tolerate them. And once in college they were so cheesy-creamy-delicious that I forgot they were potatoes. But yeah, not really a fan.
The magic - Steaming & blending.

I steamed about half a head of cauliflower until it was good and mushy, then threw it in the food processor until it was like a pulp.
Then I added a little butter and Parmesan cheese (not much!) and put it on a plate and it's just like mashed potatoes! Except without the grainy starchy-ness of potatoes! AND there's even a little nutrition to the cauliflower, where as potatoes are pretty much all carbs.
Ta-daaa! We ate ours with a plate of fried fish & okra. But if it's a vegetable, it's good for you... right?

Next on the cauliflower front, from my friend Jessica:
Soon.
