The Complete Book Of Pizza

Description for THE COMPLETE BOOK OF PIZZA by Louise Love: Pizza is unique---American as apple pie, but savored the world over. Pizza is a food which has universal appeal. It is considered a fast food, junk food, kids' food, snack food, take-out food, and as, this cookbook demonstrates, gourmet food. Despite the universal appeal of pizza, it has still not been accorded its proper place in the gourmet world of cooking. Cooking schools relegate pizza making to the kids' classes while the adults learn how to make pasta or quiche. This cookbook elevates the art of pizza making to the cordon bleu classification of the culinary arts. Pizza is eaten by 97% of all Americans. The quality of what is often called pizza, however, varies greatly. This delightful collection of recipes will show you how much fun it can be and how easy it is to make delicious "pizzeria" pizza right in your own kitchen. THE COMPLETE BOOK OF PIZZA is a favorite among cooking enthusiasts because of its basic, no nonsense approach and its man innovative variations on traditional pizza recipes. BUON APPETITO!
