Like the title says, I've never eaten cauliflower. But my curiosity is getting the best of me.

Where should I begin? Steam it? Mash it? Make a pizza? If you were trying to sell cauliflower to someone, how would you recommend it be prepared?

Thanks!

    Smother it in nutella. It's just like bacon.

    I think raw it tastes kinds funky and smells like feet but totally tolerable. I love using it as pizza crust. Super easy and once you doctor it up it's pretty tastey.

    roasted - cut it up into medium size chunks.

    preheat oven to 425.

    Toss with olive oil, s & p or any other flavor season combo you like. I have even used McCormick marinade packets before.

    bake for about 15 minutes or until it's a tender as you like.

    Try cauliflower amd mashed potatoes mashed together. This tasts very good but also lowers the carbs and calories of just mashed potatoes.

    I love it steamed and just throw a little parmesan cheese on it. I often make it with Brocolli and then I dont need a carb.

    Steamed until just tender. Served with some fresh ground black pepper.

    I don't do mock food, but I do like my cauliflower boiled and salted.
    Sometimes I squeeze fresh lemons on it.

    I steam it and drizzle it with cider vinegar. Or roast it with bacon crumbles and garlic

    Raw dipped in ranch. Or steamed (but not mushy!) with salt and a little butter spray.

    I don't like mashed cauliflower as a total sub for mashed potatoes, but I do like a 50/50 blend.
