I’ve gone all Italian today. I’m very excited, my new Ebay purchases have arrived. I got two Elizabeth David books: ‘A Book of Mediterranean Food’ and ‘Italian Food’ and Jane Grigson’s ‘English Food’, for which I’ve been searching an absolute age. I’m already halfway through the first Elizabeth David (what better tome to read in the beautiful spring sunshine?) and can’t wait to get on to the other two.
Feeling suitably Mediterranean, then, I set about making pizza. Having tried loads of different recipes, I’ve found that Ainsley Harriott’s is by far the best dough, but any recipe that contains a good glug of olive oil to give that authentic chewy texture to the base is fine. Antony Worrall Thompson puts honey in his, but I’m not keen.
Here’s mine and Hubby’s. Hubby’s side is the one with all the chilli on. I’m brave, but I’m not that brave.
