A
review by Marty Martindale
This is a handy little cookbook for the busy worker with pizza lovers
depending on them at the end of the day. It covers pizzas for family
meals, party pizzas, what they call “Pizza in Disguise,“ and pizza as an
appetizer, pizza as a dessert. The book pays special attention to the
first-things-first, details for handling the dough, how to make the
various crusts, topping tips and the importance of allowing, like
roasts, the pizza to cool a few minutes for better flavor.
