When I would use fresh cauliflower it would be AWFUL. Perhaps I'm a bad cook. I've finally perfected my technique! Here's what I do:

I use frozen chopped cauliflower. I place it in a microwave-safe dish and nuke it on high for 10 minutes, stir, then nuke until cooked. I do this so it ends up slightly dry.

I dump the cooked cauliflower into the food processor, add butter (and when I ate dairy, I'd add cream or sour cream) and mix WELL. After it's pureed, transfer to a bowl and add salt, pepper, garlic, chives, parsley. You can also add shredded cheese and bacon. Put it back in the microwave for a few minutes to melt the cheese and/or butter.

I promise you, it is DELICIOUS. I prefer frozen cauliflower because it doesn't go bad--my cauliflower hankerings seem to go in spurts, so if it's frozen, it can hang out in the freezer 'til the cows come home and I don't have to worry about wasting money. Also, it seems much easier/quicker to cook frozen than fresh?
