LL - I haven't read all of the links - I loathe Cauli and also the smell but I cook it for the sister. Cook and mash cauli - then after you have dry-fried your bacon - put cauli onto pan and enjoy. She loves it. I Do that for pamphrey too.
Pickled cauliflower is tasty, many a recipe for that online.
We often make a juicy cauliflower curry. It absorbs the spices and juices and tastes wonderful. A cauliflower was 39p at the supermarket a few weeks ago, so I've been through a few recipes since :)
