Product Description
Team five-time world pizza-throwing champion Tony Gemignani with acclaimed cookbook author Diane Morgan and the result is a cookbook that will turn any home kitchen into the best pizzeria in town. There are over 60 selections on the menu, including the thick, rounded-edge crust of classic Neapolitan pizza Margherita, the thin crust New York–style Italian Sausage and Three Pepper Pizza, and the stick-to-your-ribs, deep-dish kind, smothered in spinach and mozzarella. There are also plenty of new-fangled pizzas: layered with Thai curry flavored chicken or pineapple; cooked on the grill; even quick and easy versions using storebought crust. Aficionados will find six pizza dough recipes ready to suit anyone’s crust preferences. Tips for proper use of such related gear as peels, stones, tiles, pans, grills, and ovens make this a complete pizza package. And with step-by-step dough tossing instructions from Tony himself, it’s clear: When it comes to pizza—Pizza delivers.
The Pizza is a dish that has evolved in Europe for over 2000 years. Examples of which can be found in , Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, and of course Italy. So Why, oh why … do people have to make this uninformed cultural imperialistic book. I mean …one chapter on Italian pizza and four on American.. Has the world gone mad?
Thai Pizza ??? Some research needed outside the USA I would say. A waste of money!
The item was delivered in a timely manner. It was purchased as a gift, therefore I am unable to give a review on the book itself.
Over 60 recipes for homemade pizza are the feature in Pizza, a cookbook which pairs pizza-throwing champion Tony Gemignani with cookbook author Diane Morgan. The variety ranges from traditional Neopolitan or thin crust New York pizzas to innovations from Thai curried chicken or grilled pizza – and six pizza doughs are also the feature. Add plenty of color photos and you have a real treat.
I’m giving away all my other pizza cookbooks. This one has ALL the details you need, and Diane has really done her homework.
We first bought this book from Tony himself after a pizza making demonstration. We went to the demonstration because I love pizza but couldn’t make it worth a darn. Needless to say, we were impressed. We bought the book and went home and tried it out, now it is requested that we make pizza at every family gathering; making it is even the new Christmas Eve tradition. I’m looking for another copy to have overnighted to us now because we are at my brother’s in a different state and are lost without our already dog-earred copy. He makes easy to follow steps with many useful pictures and lots of information about ingredients – a big help.
The book has also proved to be a good gift because everyone loves good pizza.
