the last word on pizza making for me

i first saw this book in the library years ago and checked it out so much i had to have a copy for myself. since then i have made most of the recipes in it, and loaned it to many friends to get in on the secret of my great pizza. i am sure you will love the recipes and just reading the book.

If you want to make great pizza at home this is the book.

I had wanted to make authentic pizza at home and had tried to learn on my own for many years. I had read many books that claimed to give you authentic recipies. This is the first book which lived up to that claim. My friends and family now rave about my home made pizzas.

This is the best of the best of pizza cookbooks!

This is still "the" comprehensive cookbook on pizza, even though published in 1984. The author had taught classes in classic French and Italian cuisine for several years, and then to match a demand for homemade pizza by students, developed a pizza workshop which evolved into the cookbook. Extensive pizza history and background, as well as advice on ingredients, equipment, and technique, and more than 200 recipes for all types of pizzas are provided. The recipes include classic Italian pizzas, French pizzas, folded pizzas, stuffed pizzas, rolled pizzas, New York-style pizzas, New England-style pizzas, Chicago-style pizzas, Tex-Mex pizzas, and California pizzas. The best regional pizzerias from New York, Boston, New Haven, and Chicago are identified, and their signature pizza recipes are also provided. This pizza cookbook will stir you to begin your own quest for the perfect pizza made at home!
