cauliflower pizza base

My partner Clare and I would like to wish you a great deal of clarity and happiness in the coming days.

We have chosen to put aside ancient attachments to this time of year and focus on what is the most important thing in our lives – our love for each other, our families, our pets and those wonderful people, which includes you, who help make our life what it is.

We are truly humbled by the love and support we have from thousands of you via our classes, markets, customer and subscriber lists, our FaceBook pages and even those of you we have just fleeting communications with, via Twitter.

Clare and I are now officially ‘old’ in the eyes of our children and being in our 60’s, I can share with you that it’s not what ‘they’ say it should be. It’s BETTER!!

Our RAW Vegan lifestyle is not for everyone BUT IT IS for us because we have balanced and moderate weight, NO medications, NO supplements, NO diabetes, NO Prostate issues in fact NO nothing BUT plenty of LIFE. We choose not to eat meat, wheat, dairy, processed foods or white sugar. We eat only the most beautifully prepared fruit and vegetables – in fact we don’t even own a pot or pan!!!

Our RAW Food Master Classes have been a sell out for 2013 and have already started filling for 2014. Honestly, all we do is talk about how we have ‘attained our good health’ and how we ‘maintain our good health’ with demonstrations and eating of beautiful RAW plant based dishes which would stand up in any gourmet RAW food restaurant, anywhere.

Have you seen these recipe links ? If not, then here they are. They are so simple and very delish!!

We hope you enjoy making these RAW food dishes.

Just a further reminder too. This time of year always brings massive problems with over indulgence – you WILL pay for eating too much one way or another. There is a way to take some of that digestive stress off the system and that is with Green Papaya Powder. This is what saved my life and I have to recommend it very highly when it comes to bloating, reflux, heartburn, indigestion and myriad of other chronic issues arising as a result of a dysfunctional gut. Read more about this amazing natural health product and take full advantage of our FREE Postage until the 2nd of January offer.

In the meantime from ‘two very young RAW geysers’ we wish you a loving and pleasant festive season.

Much love from the both of us,

Clare and Scott

Using cauliflower as a Pizza Base is a wonderful variation on the norm – using nuts and seeds etc. This is a delightfully fragrant, spongy base that will have the family crying out for seconds. TIP: Serve straight from the dehydrator if you like your food slightly warm and top with a freshly-made tomato sugo (sauce), marinated mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, olives and a generous sprinkling of nut ‘parmesan-type’ cheese.

Author: Scott Mathias

Recipe type: Main

Cuisine: Italian

Serves: 6

Ingredients

BASE:

1 Whole Med. Sized Cauliflower trimmed and chopped into pieces
1 Cup of Nut Parmesan Cheese (¾ cup of macadamia nut fines blended with ¼ cup of nutritional or savory yeast, a grind of black pepper – also keep some back for topping)
¼ to ½ cup of Flax Meal (ground Linseeds)
S&P to taste
Squeeze of lemon or lime juice

TOPPING:

4 Lge. Vine Tomatoes –hold a ½ back for topping
1 Cup of Sundried or Semi Dried Tomatoes
1 Clove of Garlic
½ Red Bell Pepper –hold 2 dsp. back for topping
1 Dsp. Olive Oil
1 Cup of your favourite Olives
1 Tsp. Mixed Italian Herbs
7 Fresh Thyme Stems or fresh Basil
S&P to taste

Instructions

For the base:

Blend these ingredients in your food processor using the lime juice to create a firm but pliable mixture with the cauliflower pieces 1-2mm in size.
Using a stainless steel spatula spread the mixture into a circle on your teflex paper if you are using a dehydrator or baking paper if using your oven.
Turn your dehydrator to 145F and let run for 1hr and then turn back to 115F.
As soon as the base starts to firm up it’s ready to be turned over.
Continue to dry in dehydrator for another 5-6hrs and the oven 3-4hrs. Avoid making it too dry.

(Oven users – open the door, get the temp to just 50C with the fan on).

For the topping:

Blend the tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, bell pepper, garlic, oil and mixed herbs until a rich and smooth sauce consistency is achieved.
Add more sundried tomatoes to make it richer if necessary.
Once the base is dried, spread the topping sauce around it, covering the surface area completely to a ½ cm thickness.
Place the base back in the dehydrator for another hour so that the sauce dries and consolidates.
Arrange the rest of the toppings on your pizza base.
Finish off by sprinkling with more nut Parmesan and adding the sprigs of thyme or basil and serve.
