hi there, I made the pizza tonight and my advice to everyone is allow yourself plenty of time! I really liked the sweet potato crust and cheesy sauce, but the kale/tofu ricotta was not to my taste. I would use less kale or substitute something else next time. Anyway I got some greens in! Thank you, Anthea. :)
