 Great Tasting Pizza and Pasta December 17, 1998
36 out of 36 found this review helpful
CPK brings a wide variety of international cuisines to the pizza crust. I was delighted when they came out with this cookbook, but was disappointed to find that my favorite item from the restaurant, the Oriental Chicken Salad, is not included in the cookbook. Well, they need to get me back into the restaurant once in a while. The recipes make extensive use of cilantro and garlic. Also note, that although the recipes are easy to make (as cited by the other reviewers), the first time you make the recipe it make take a long time. For example, the first time I made the Shrimp Scampi pizza (listed as Shrimp-Garlic in the book), it took me about 3 hours, not including the dough preparation time. This is because just making one ingredient, the roasted garlic, took about an hour. Since then I have learned which ingredients can be prepared in advance. The Shrimp Scampi Pizza with whole wheat crust is the best pizza that I have ever tasted, and that opinion has been shared by everyone who has tasted it. It is better than the restaurant's and worth the trouble. Another family favorite from this book is the broccolli with sun-dried tomatoes. Again, except for getting all that garlic peeled, this recipe has a minimum number of ingredients, is quick to make (30 minutes), is extremely tasty, and can feed a crowd. You feel really special when you get to have this for lunch the next day.

My sister gave me this book along with a Calphalon Pizza Pan and a Bread machine as a wedding gift. We use the bread machine to make our own pizza dough, use the pizza pan to cook the pizza in our own oven, and use the cookbook to make the most amazing and delicious pizzas to serve right in our own home! I use these recipes for entertaining all the time and they are really easy, absolutely yummy (even better than eating at the restaurant), and always get rave reviews from my guests! Thank you CPK for sharing these with us!

We eat at the California Pizza Kitchen Restaurants in S. CA and the Palm Dessert area. The recipes are complete, delicious and just like we order out... always have rave reviews from friends. Eclectic pizzas (and more) for people who like a surprisingly varied combination of falvors that are meant for each other.
