Hey!
I tried this recipe and it turned out very well. In fact I bought a small Kenwood food processor on Amazon in order to make not only cauliflower rice but even sugar-free low carb 'nutella', from scratch!
I also make low carb bread from online recipes and let me tell you it makes a real difference to the daily diet. The key thing is to eat such foods sparingly. Carb creep is a very real phenomenon and calories do count particularly when you are trying to lose weight and not just maintain.
Cauliflower is a low carber's dream. I had no idea it could be so versatile! I eat lots of it now.
By the way you can buy low carb 'rice' made out of low carb pasta. I bought mine at sugarfreemegastore. Quite cheap and very acceptable as it has 'bite'. Again, don't overdo the amount.

Mmmm cauliflower.... just yummy. Had some when I got home from uni earlier; chopped-up, microwaved until tender and then mashed-up with butter, salt and pepper. Delicious.

My latest mini-craze: cauliflower mashed up with salt, pepper and full fat Philadelphia cheese.
Oh my...
But as I recently discovered by re-checking the figures cauliflower like other veggies is far from carb-free and we need to be careful with portion size. Sad for me because I can eat a lot of cauli at a sitting!

Mmmm thank you!
Low GI seems great to me particularly for my own maintenance in (I hope!) the near future. I do miss fruit, and berries/melon cannot totally fill the gap. I will stay low-carb, though. The benefits are just too many to even think of swapping back.
I am very keen to find tasty low carb and perhaps low cal recipes. I have peeked at the South Beach Diet, the Kee Diet, the Zone diet, and many others. I have not so far checked out the recipe sections!
Cheers.

Last night I experimented by adding sliced green beans to cauliflower florets and whizzing them up in my food processor. The result, when cooked 'til tender in the microwave, was surprisingly tasty. I will try other complementary veg combinations. The finished results can easily double as 'rice' for curries or other dishes and also make a welcome change to the 'two veg' norm.
Mashed with cream cheese or cheddar/cheese of choice they are a real treat!
