Book Reviews of Pizza: 50 Traditional and Alternative Recipes for the Oven and Grill

Book Review: Interesting pizza ideas - easy to modify
Summary: 4 Stars

I recently purchased this book because my husband looooves pizza, but years of pizza chain delivery are catching up with us. This book has very detailed instructions of how to make your own pizza crust (five or six different types) and your own pizza sauce. It has several sections listing recipes for different types of pizzas such as traditional, modern variations and dessert pizzas.

My one issue is that the ingredient lists seem a mile long. I realize that these pizzas are more artisanal than practical, but jeez! However, I found that it is easy to substitute ingredients with easier alternatives (for example, rather than chopping garlic and using garlic powder, just use additional garlic powder). Also, if I am short on time, I just buy pre-made pizza crusts from the grocery store and work my magic for the filler (and it still counts as homeade in my book!).

My favorite so far is the Black Bean and Roasted Corn with Seared Shrimp pizza, but there are probably 20 other recipes that I plan on trying, which is a high hit rate for me with cookbooks. Great book!

Summary of Pizza: 50 Traditional and Alternative Recipes for the Oven and Grill

If you think pizza is a dish with only sausage, pepperoni, and cheese, think again. Somewhere along the way, pizza has grown up. Now, you can choose to bake your pizza or cook it on the grill. In Pizza, pizza as we've known it is reborn. In these pages, readers will learn the essence of the pizza recipes and how fresh ingredients combined in traditional and unique ways can be built to achieve appetizing and visually appealing dishes.

Recipes range from classic (Spinach and Arugula Grilled Pizza and Grilled Pizza Margheritta) to contemporary (Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Skillet Pizza) to breakfast (Brunch Pizza with Scrambled Eggs and Prosciutto) to salad (Chicken Caesar Salad on Grilled Crust) to dessert pizzas (Mixed Berry Grilled Pizza). This volume includes variations of the classic Italian recipes, vegetarian options, and recipes that reflect ethnic diversity. Pizza takes the pizza way beyond Italy's borders.

Use the book as a specific guide to achieve a meal or as a guideline for your own creations. You will learn how sauces, cheese, toppings, and doughs are interchangeable. There's also an explanation of traditional and not-so-traditional ingredients.
