Combine olive oil, lemon juice, white wine, garlic, shallot, basil pesto, thyme, rosemary, and parsley in a mixing bowl.

Mix to combine the marinade ingredients.

Add portobello mushrooms, yellow squash, zucchini, celeriac, red heirloom tomatoes, and french beans to the marinade and toss to coat.

Refrigerate the marinated vegetables for at least one hour.

Lightly grill each vegetable until just done, ensuring they are slightly crunchy and not overcooked.

In a pan, add unsalted butter, followed by shallot and garlic, and sauté over medium heat until tender.

Add cauliflower to the pan and caramelize lightly.

Pour in heavy cream and add parmesan cheese, letting it cook briefly.

Transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth.

Assemble the tower by placing cauliflower puree in the center of a plate as the base.

Spread marinara sauce over the cauliflower puree.

Layer the grilled vegetables alternately on top of the marinara sauce.

Garnish with mozzarella cheese before serving.
