I'm sure it is - it sounds yummy! There was a lovely cauliflower soup recipe in Donna Hay mag last year - we've made it lots since I discovered it. I wrote it up here: http://www.mrscake.co.nz/2010/07/amazing-donna-hay-cauliflower-soup.html - definitely a highly recommended recipe. It includes a crumble topping made with tiny bits of cauli and parmesan cheese, which is tasty but I leave out for every day. It's also awesome topped with a bit of crispy bacon. :-)
I also quite like cauliflower chopped up with potato and cooked in curry spices - or in curry in general.
I sometimes add chicken and make it a one dish meal.

Heat oil/butter in shallow pan, fry cumin for 1/2 minute, add cauliflower mixture & cook for 3 minutes stirring thoroughly.

I dont know if these have been mentioned but my two faverite ways to have cauli are: Boiled and mashed with cream cheese, salt and pepper. Boiled, drained and placed inan oven dish, cover with Maggi gluten free cheese sauce and gluten free Crunchie Crumbs with a little grated cheese mixed in with it, grill till crumbs brown. Yummo :)

Raw vegan cauliflower 'cheese.' Tastes even better after a couple of days.

Hope you enjoy .I love it, but of course it won't be to everyone's taste. Digby Law'sVegetable cookbook is a stained, oft used addition in my kitchen. He's long deceased, so I have treasured the few books I have of his .but I notice that they have been re-printed & are well worth buying.

I have a couple of his ones and the vegetable one I have.I was outside taking photos and pottering that I didn't end up cooking.I most definitely will be making that recipe.We have a leg of lamb that I will be cooking tomorrow and the cauliflower will be perfect with it.
Doesn't it just! I love sushi & that will be definitely worth a try.

Terribly rolled on those pictures.
I have done that one several times for low carb people and it is always well received.
Cool the cauli then roll it - then cool it again before cutting you will get a much better and more even result.
If everything fails and it will not come together re-cook briefly with a bit of gelatine, cool and it will work a treat!
Will keep in the fridge for days so make LOTS!
