Eaten Alive: Truly Yummy Raw Pizza

One thing that can put a newbie off of raw food is the funky tasting recipes that sometimes are offered for our favorite cooked foods. I’ve eaten some bizarre foods during my journeys through raw-ville. And while I can see how some of the interesting tastes and textures might appeal to a long-term raw foodist, for a newbie like me it was not particularly encouraging at the time.

I’m a food scientist by education, and I’ve got a super picky Carnivore hubby; so if I’m going to serve a raw entree in our home, it’s going to have to taste good.  I developed this recipe (and several variations) last summer in a fever of pizza-craving madness. To my surprise (and pleasure), it not only became a huge hit in the established raw community, it was approved for use with non Raw-nivores.

Feel free to serve this as a quirky little appetizer to your Cooked Friends, or make enough for a full meal, if you’re so inclined.

Warning for newbies (like you, Vaughn!!) – this kind of raw cuisine is considered ‘gourmet’ in the raw food community. “Gourmet’ in the raw mind means ‘this takes a ton of time to make.’
