Pizza is a perfect food . . . . . here are some perfect recipes July 26, 2008

This book is a pizza.
Just as pizza is a perfect food, this is a perfect book about pizza. The intelligent reader may never use a recipe from this book; that's because it's a book of ideas. The "perfect pizza" is one you create, and the great strength of this book is ideas for crusts and toppings.
Cinn-O-Bun pizza? Kung Pao Cashew pizza? Yukon Gold? Lucy in the Sky with Pizza? Chicken, chutney or chocolate? Fire roasted veggies are one thing; but, what about asparagus? How about blistered corn? Or Blueberries and raspberries with honey?
This book brims with ideas.
Beginners get a clear introduction in creating and grilling a great crust. Remember, the crust is not just a chunk of dough rolled flat. It is also a work of art. Start with basics, which are well explained; then, your toppings become the genius of your great pizza.
The recipes are wonderful, varied, inspired and interesting. But it's my contention "the perfect pizza" is a delight to your personal taste -- not mine or anyone else. Your taste buds will tire of monotony unless you try variety. Broccoli? Would that work? These recipes will spark the imagination with plenty of "Hey! I never thought of that ... I wonder what it will taste like with a little ....."
Remember, pizza is not a burger. Mickey D created the world's most beloved hamburger by adding four slices of pickle. That's all it took. There's no way to create an "enduring pizza' by a similar simple trick. Every one is a signature of its maker.
I've been making pizzas for 40 years, and I wish I'd come up with at least some of these ideas. Had I done so, I'd probably be writing books instead of book reviews. Here's your chance to leapfrog into a creative pizza future.
Every recipe will produce a wonderful meal -- including pizza for breakfast. Why not? Start with six eggs . . . . Before long, you'll produce your own pizza that's as good as this book.

I admit, initially I thought pizza on the grill would be a little intimidating. Like how does it not fall through the grates? But Elizabeth Karmel and Bob Blumer know their stuff. The book is layed out great, beginning with step by step instructions for preparing the basic dough to setting up the grill. Also included are several shortcuts which can be used to cut down the prep time without sacrificing any of the goodness!! The recipes are organized and easy to follow. You will be amazed at the wide array of toppings for just about any kind of pizza you can think of. This is definately not your local pizza parlor eats.
The only advice I did not follow was to try it out first, before inviting guests. I entertained for six people and made three pizzas. The total prep time was about an hour and the cooking time was less than twenty minutes. The outcome....FANTASTIC. All of my freinds were raving about how great it tasted. And when they saw me make it, in awe of how easy it was.
Bottom line you cannot go through the BBQ season without this book. Your family and friends will be amazed and delighted. Sure to be the hit of any BBQ, either as a starter, main course or dessert!!
