Have any of you guys heard of or made pizza with a cauliflower crust? We've never tried it but it keeps showing up more and more in cooking shows over here.

Good - so my brain cells aren't quite dead yet! I like the photo but remain to be convinced about the cauli-crust.Yep, I made one, it was excellent. I think it was back in April last year
Perhaps you should make one for your son. He'd love it with vegan cheese on it.Good - so my brain cells aren't quite dead yet! I like the photo but remain to be convinced about the cauli-crust.
I did do mine in my wood fire pizza oven (I have posted a picture of it in another thread) and yes, you could pick it up (albeit carefully) and eat in the conventional manner. For me, it was an experiment because I have a friend on a low to no carb diet who we had invited to our pizza meal. I don't fire up the pizza oven that often in summer because of fire safety concerns and the need to contact the rural fire brigade and get a fire permit (free and easily obtained, just a hassle but part of life living in Australia). For 6 months of the year there are fire risks and at certain times of year, all solid fuel fires are banned. When things are really bad and fire is very high risk, all outdoor fires of any type (gas included) are banned. Again it is just part and parcel of life in Australia.It's not something I'm really interested in because I don't eat pizza unless it's done in a wood fired oven set up anymore and I don't think they have figured out how to do that with cauliflower yet. Yes, I'm a pizza snob and proud of it. I pretty much only eat Margherita pizza anyway anymore given my loss of appetite and only able to eat 2 or 3 small pieces anymore even when I am hungry.
Oh, ok, Morning Glory moved it and started a new thread. I will say it appears people are continuing to experiment and improve the product. Apparently some have gotten the crust to the point where you can actually pick a piece of cauliflower crust up and eat it like a regular pizza, which you couldn't do with the first ones, think knife and fork only.
I posted the original as a post in the dinner thread because several of you were discussing low carb alternatives to things like lasagna, not sure how it got started as a new thread.

It may be better for a new thread on Low Carb alternatives, or perhaps that is what this thread should be?
Why have you lost appetite? Have I missed something?
They are much less of a concern in Australia. This is just the special circular bricks that fit together into a circle of semi circle more accurately of a certain size. The pump that supplies the air flow to heat to a higher temp doubles to do the BBQ on the other side of the pizza oven. That's a massive affair. Chimneys are standard flues and to stop the reason coming down when it's not in use there is just an up turned bucket on it. The metal base to the pizza oven and the door are standard off the shelf with the fire bricks....Wow, what a PITA to fire up the pizza oven, kind of makes it not even worth spending the money to build. The fire bricks and all the high heat stuff to build to code here is $$$.
