Kale is one of those foods that I have a hard time liking... and is one of my favorite foods at the same time. Kinda' weird, I know. I guess tofu is the same way. Some foods were just born ugly - and, therefore, need just the right touch to be delicious. It really isn't a matter of hiding the taste to tolerate kale, but understanding it's complexity enough to really enjoy it.
A couple of tips for kale: 1. It's bitter, which is the typical least-favorite-flavor, so counter it with sour and salty, or even sweet. 2. It can have hard stems - check and remove of necessary. 3. It is quite tough and overpowering in texture, so you'll need to shout it out with something really interesting... Sour and spicy or salty and sweet.
