Christina, I've seen all kinds of kale in many different colors, but have only eaten one type. It is the green kale sold at the local grocery store. I know this isn't an answer to your question, but I hope this gives you a few ideas.
Kale can be cooked in any way you would cook most greens. You can eat it raw and add it to salads. I've seen kale that is red, purple, white, and multi-colored - looks good in a salad.
Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana is so easy and cheap to make at home. The star of the dish is the kale that you throw in at the last few minutes.
As one Texas gardener to another, I have found that growing mustard greens and spinach are very easy to grow here. Turnip and beet greens grow like weeds here too. Just don't plant them in shaded areas.
I wish I could help on your question - I haven't had any good luck growing kale myself.
