As for the toppings - well that is the fun bit and entirely up to you!
For our dinner party, there were 8 people including Karen and I, and we made 5 different pizzas, cut into 8 slices each. There was more than enough to go around.
We made the following toppings - (in addition to the tomato paste and the nut cheese)
 |
| Pizza 4 - Curried tofu, sweet onion and spinach |
1 - Sort of tropical flavour - Red peppers, spinach, sweet onions, fennel and walnuts.
2 - Something to make the carnivores feel at home - Fry's 'chicken' strips, broccoli and pepperdews.
3 - Bit of a Greek feel - Olives, yellow peppers, tomato and basil.
4 - A spicy one - Curried tofu pieces, sweet onion and spinach (with optional sliced banana, which we put in a bowl on the table).
 |
| Pizza 5 - Fry's polony, cauliflower, sun-dried tomatoes, spring onion & rocket |
5 - Another nod to the carnivores - Fry's polony strips, cauliflower, sundried tomatoes, spring onion and rocket.
 |
| Karen's sweet onions |
Just a note - the sweet onion - Karen finely sliced red onions and marinated them in red wine vinegar and a little agarve syrup for a few hours.
Oh yes - the pedantic among you will have noted that a couple of these were not strictly 'raw' because of the Fry's products, but they are all vegan!
So have fun and get creative with these - your guest will love them, hardened meat eaters as well!
Bon apetit.
Here are the basic recipes as per the book:

Blend the buckwheat, apple, tamari and water into a paste on high for about 30 seconds.
Pour into a bowl with all the other ingredients, and massage into a dough.
