Book Review: Content beats volume
Summary: 5 Stars
This little book is a treasure. So what if the author likes to use nontraditional ingredients like sharp American cheese. That's what makes it special.
Have you ever tasted a true Italian pizza from Naples? I have, many times (courtesy of the US Navy). BORING!!!! Most of the time, anyway. There is the rare occasion when you get to one of the out of the way ristorante that makes something memorable, but for the most part, traditional Italian pizza is nothing to write home about.
What this book does is bring out the best of what America has done to transform pizza into a culture. Yes, the author is Italian, but he never promised Italian pizza, he just provided delicious pizzas that people could make at home. So what if he uses sugar in his recipes! Most of the great bakers of bread and pizza do. Another thing I find intriguing about the reviewers that complain about sugar in recipes is the amount. 1 teaspoon in a 14" pizza is too much sugar? Get a life.
This is one of the coolest little books I've ever bought (and I've bought hundreds of cookbooks from Amazon).
It isn't so much the recipes that are important than the hows and whys in the front of the book that make it so great.
Summary of The Art of Pizza Making: Trade Secrets and Recipes
This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of pizza making, for both the amateur pizza maker, and for those who would like to open their own pizzeria. It contains additional information not normally found in a cookbook such as trade secrets, where to buy ingredients wholesale (e.g., the high gluten flour), and comparisons and instructions for special preparation and baking equipment such as baking pans, baking stones, pizza screens, commercial pizza ovens, mixing machines and proof boxes. It also contains my unique collection of over 40 pizza recipes such as barbecue, breakfast, Buffalo, calzone, cheeseburger, deep fried (a.k.a. Old Forge style ), dessert, Hawaiian, Indian, mac-n-cheese, mashed potato, Middle East, pesto, red, roasted red pepper, seafood, Sicilian, Southwest, stromboli, taco, tuna melt, vegetable and white, with preparation instructions for stuffed, rolled or open-faced style. All the recipes in this book have been perfected, and all the details have been included so that even the most amateur pizza makers can get professional results. Not only does this book include proven recipes, it provides all the tools necessary to create your own masterpiece. I've tried too many recipes that show beautiful pictures of pizzas, but once created are displeasing to the palate. This book is for genuine pizza lovers who are willing to take the time to do-it-right. Creating pizzas can be as much fun as eating them!Pizza Books
