Review: Passion for Pizza
Most Chicagoans have a lot of serious and deep-rooted opinions about pizza. Each of us has different ideas as to where to find the best pizza in the city. Chances are you've spent a lot of time explaining those choices. If you're like me and consider pizza to be one of the major food groups, then I have an excellent cookbook for you:
Passion for Pizza by Craig Whitson and Tore Gjesteland.
A few Chicago pizzerias are featured in the book alongside well-known restaurants in New York and Italy. Various pizza shops from each area are profiled, giving readers a glimpse at each shop's personality and most popular pies.
In addition to exploring some of the world's best-known pizzerias in Italy and the US, the book also gives readers recipes to make their own pizza. Key ingredients and proper equipment required for excellent pizza making is provided along with 50 pizza recipes, plus additional dough and sauce recipes. This book is a must have for pizza lovers who want to try their hand at crafting their favorite food at home.
