Purple Sprouting Brocolli Pizza
Pizza is a Friday night staple in our house. It’s fun food, the varieties are endless and it’s also quick and easy which is perfect for a relaxing night at home following a busy week. I was out on Friday night though and since we had decided to try the purple sprouting brocolli topping and […]

This was so good, we ate it two nights in a row. Admittedly, we did have pizza dough left over, as well as a surplus of artichokes but this really was worth cooking again. Unlike the artichokes we cooked when making salad, we didn’t parboil these but just sliced them finely on a mandoline and […]

Last Saturday, Stephen’s sister, her husband and their little girl came over for lunch. We thought Stephen’s niece might enjoy making pizza so we made up a huge batch of dough and some tomato sauce and laid out lots of toppings for everyone to choose from. I’d intended to experiment with a blue cheese and […]

Stephen mentioned in passing that he was considering taking a break from his wheat-free diet as he was craving bread. As a confirmed bread-lover, I’ve missed homemade pizza the most since Stephen’s experiment started so, seconds after he admitted his resolve was weakening, I’d convinced him we should eat pizza for dinner. We had rather […]

We have been making pizza on and off for a few years now, with varying levels of success. There were a couple of times when we did pretty well and thought we had definitely cracked it, but haven’t been able to keep it consistent. With our old not very hot oven we had a clever […]

As has become habit when cooking pizza recently, we start with a garlic bread which we eat […]

Last week our oven broke, which led to us using Kerri’s mum’s oven, which broke in a different way, which led to disastrous results. This week we had a new oven installed. The most interesting thing about it was that it goes up to 270C! This meant that we had to try pizza in it, […]
Read More..>>The Quest for Perfect Pizza
It seems very self-obsessed to call something that you’ve cooked yourself “perfect” but, having spent a fair amount of time getting our recipe just how we wanted it, I think we’ve finally mastered our own version of perfect pizza. We’ve experimented with different types of dough and have finally settled on Jamie Oliver’s recipe – […]

We’ve been talking about cooking pizza on the barbecue this for what seems like forever and yesterday we finally got around to it. We don’t have the space for a pizza oven in our garden and, after some lengthy research, it would appear that barbecuing pizza is the next best thing. The charcoal can be […]
