White sauce with lots of chopped parsley , or capers, or grated nutmeg are 3 variations I like.

Steam or stirfry it and then top with some savory fresh bread crumbs that have some butter, herbs, garlic mixed with it and flashed under the grill until lighly browned. Also nice done the indian way with the chick pea flour batter and fried.

Plenty of choices if you put cauliflower in l/h message board. Under date posted put last year.
Roasted sounds worth trying tjman. Wouldn't take long?

To make savoury breadcrumbs use dried breadcrumbs place in a dish with some garlic butter or plain butter and microwave on high for a minute then stir. zap again on high for another minute and stir. breadcrumbs will be brown and golden add some grated cheese and add to the cauli flower and pop under griller to brown.

I steam it, then chuck in a blender with a dollop of sour cream, a smidgeon of crushed garlic, salt and pepper. Much nicer than mashed spuds.
Simple roasted cauli is great. Oven at 180C, for four servings use one large cauli cut into florets, trickle in 2 tab olive oil or melted butter, salt and pepper, tumble around to distribute the fat. Roast about an hour or until golden brown.

I haven't tried this yet, but read in a hospitality magazine about using cooked cauliflower as the base for a pizza, I think from memory cheese was added to the mashed up cauliflower, it was precooked without topping 10-15 minutes then topping added. sounds interesting.

+1. Make the effort to find the flour. Mine was called chana besan or something. I deep fry it. Good way to get veges into kids! Google "pakoras" onion ones also very good.

Agree roasted cauliflower is delicious. More ideas: Top Ten Uses For Cauliflower: http://empoweredsustenance.com/uses-for-cauliflower/ . and this cauliflower sauce recipe is my #1 favourite when I want stodgy-comfort food, and is a good way to use up left-over vegetables. I mix it up with cooked green vegetables (silverbeet, leek, peas, broccoli, is a great combo) - top with cheese, and bake in the oven: http://cupcakesomg.blogspot.co.nz/2012/08/caulif-redo-sauce-aka-paleo-alfredo.html (Easy to make vegetarian/vegan: just use veget. stock, and sub the parmesan for nutritional yeast for the cheesey taste).

cauliflower and blue cheese soup is very tasty and cooking small pieces in milk/cream and then puree, is good too. using it raw with other raw veges with a dip is a different taste too.
