Column: Food for Thought - PIZZA - YES WE CAN!
Pizza is one of the world’s most loved and eaten foods. Guess what? You can be a pizza chef! You will be amazed how a little elbow grease and a few simple ingredients lovingly made will lead to you having created one of the world’s most delicious foods.
Sitting quietly in a little cobbled laneway off one of the bustling main squares in the centre of Florence, Italy I took a sip of the freshly poured Chianti and could feel my heart racing. I’m 23 and have just ordered my first pizza in ITALY! Dreams come true.
As a kid the only pizza we ever had was from Pizza Hut as a special treat, usually on a rare Friday night when Mum would go to a Greenpeace rally and Dad had to look after all us kids.
So, you can imagine my surprise in Florence when the waiter brought me my pizza and it looked nothing like a supreme or pepperoni pizza. It was a super thin base for a start, had basically no toppings and little fresh rocket sprinkled on top. I had to sort of fold it to eat it.
