Kevin and Anamari Gianni speak with Phillip McClusky who explains how to prepare a great dish called “cauliflower popcorn,” which consists of cauliflower pieces mixed with nutritional yeast, cayenne pepper and sea salt.

Since I’ve seen this video I’ve prepared the dish many times, and I’ve also made variations including adding finely chopped sweet onions and sweet peppers, fresh corn kernels, olive oil, and other vegetables.

This video also introduced me to nutritional yeast, which has become one of my favorite ingredients.  Nutritional yeast tastes exactly like cheese, and it is actually made from beets.  Many vegans who like the taste of cheese make use of nutritional yeast to create a cheesy taste with their food.  Some raw food purists avoid nutritional yeast however because it is technically not “raw” due to the fact that it is heated up during its manufacturing.
