Well, I did say I would be changing my diet, and looking for ideas for low fat versions of favourite foods. To be fair, I have been making vegan pizzas for some time, as my wife is a non-dairy vegetarian, so this is nothing new.

And to be completely honest, because I am having to take things easy following my recent hospital visit, I didn’t make the two pizzas I have shown here – my wife did. And bloody good they were too.

Both have houmous as the base sauce, rather than tomato. Toasted pine nuts, caramelized onions, peppers, tofu, and on one a mix of spinach, rocket and water cress, the other mango and chilli sauce.

No cheese in sight. But you know what? You don’t need it. not every time, anyway.
