Upcoming Raw Food Classes! Spring Cleaning for Your Body...

Just taught a "restaurant-style raw" class the other night with mediterranean pizza, beet raviolis filled with herbed cashew cheese and topped with pesto, garlicky greens on the side, and a strawberry tart for dessert...yum! The recipe for the pizza - which was the #1 crowd pleaser - is pasted below.

Here's the Mediterranean pizza recipe:

On your favorite raw pizza crust (I use Alissa Cohen's easy crust recipe from "Living on Live Food" most of the time) or a thin slice of eggplant or zucchini, add:

Cashew-Shallot Cheese Sauce:

1 cup of cashews, soaked for one hour or more

1 shallot, chopped (about 1 tablespoon)

Juice of one lemon (or more or less, to taste)

1/2 teaspoon of salt

Cash of cayenne pepper

Blend all ingredients in a food processor, adding a few tablespoons of water, to desired smoothness.

Fennel and Arugula:

Toss 1 cup of very thinly sliced fennel (I used a mandoline, but you could also used a veggie peeler) with 2 cups arugula, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablepoon olive oil, salt & pepper to taste

And black olives...I am loving the black olives with celtic sea salt I recently got from Matt Monarch's www.rawfoodworld.com. They are seriously amazing...and even more so on this delicious pizza! Raw appetit!
