Pizza

Originating most likely in Naples as a simple flatbread, what we think of as 'pizza' is only one member of a family of traditional Italian bread-based foods that serve as a meal in one.

As you'll discover, these flat breads range from conventional Neapolitan versions to calzone and other variations - few Italian dishes are as familiar as pizza, or as irresistible.

The definition of a pizza is changing and this book features contemporary specialties with the emphasis on fresh and readily available ingredients.

The result is an amazing variety of innovative pizzas that are as flavorful as they are enjoyable to make and eat.
