Here is a type of pizza recipe, well a posh French version, Chanterelle Tart Flammekueche. I have to admit it is very very tasty, and simple enough to prepare. You will see there is a bit of dairy on here, so if you are lactose intolerant, you may choose to avoid this one.
In this recipe, we have features the chanterelle mushroom, with its awesome flavour and texture. Combine with this the speck and fresh time, and you are eating like royalty.
You may choose to make the dough recipe provided, it is easy enough, though we don't always have the time to. So you can choose to utilise a store-bought pastry, which although will not taste as good. it will do in tight situations for your Chanterelle Tart Flammekueche.

Let’s Make a Difference
Every day we have the opportunity to make hundreds of choices. We are so fortunate to live in a time where information is so easily accessible and we have the opportunity and freedom to make choices that we feel are the best for us and our families.
I encourage you to continue educating yourself and others about the benefits of living a plant-based lifestyle. Cook a plant-based meal, opt out of products like leather, watch a documentary with a family member or friend. It’s easy to feel like the choices we make are small, but when we make these choices together, we can make a big difference!
