Carol, there are lots of great recipes in the SBD book and cookbook, you just have to try them and find the ones you like. A lot of us mention what we've made and liked in the daily thread. Check it out.
I didn't really like the cauliflower in the book either, but others have loved it. If you like the one they make at Ruby Tuesday, let me know...someone on the board linked to
www.topsecretrecipes.com where they had posted the mock version of them (it's no longer there but I copied it and would be glad to share). There is also another version of the cauliflower in the forum. Try adding different things to make the mashed cauliflower your own. Also, let the cauliflower sit before eating so they firm up, and make sure you really puree them (after cooking them for a while so they are really soft).
Did you get the cookbook? It has a lot of great recipes!
