Notes about this book

  • EmilyR on June 28, 2023

    This is a comprehensive seeming tome of a book, but the issue I take with it are the horrendous photos. For the amount of work that it seems went into compiling this, it's an abomination that they have many images from shutterstock or StockFood (it literally states so in the back of the book) where some don't even match the recipe with extra ingredients visibly there. In particular is page 288 with the Okonomiyaki pizza... it's among the worst photos I've ever seen in a cookbook. At that rate, just don't include one.

    Raw pizza sauce, p. 103 -- this is how I usually make my sauce, but I have always cooked it. I did it raw and loved it. Easy, delicious, and one less step!!

    Chicago Deep Dish, p. 267 - delicious! Easy dough to make and work with. Good texture and flavor. I used the raw sauce recipe (p. 103) and was worried at all the extra liquid when I put it in the oven. Not a problem! Cooked off, and the crust wasn't soggy. I do think it could have been a little crisper, but sitting to cool in the pan (I used a cast iron pan) isn't really conducive to that. Might try with a perforated pizza pan next time, but we had no problem eating the entire thing as it was and would be happy to again!
