Product Description

Product Description
The pizza was born amid the poverty and exuberance of Naples. The classic Margherita and Marinara pizzas are linked not only to the city's fresh produce of tomatoes, garlic, buffalo mozzarella, olive oil and basil, but also to its history, religion, mythology and street life. This vibrant and colourful book is a celebration of the Neapolitan pizza and of the city itself. Over 200 photographs evoke the street atmosphere, from the vespas that swish by to the pizzerias where dough rises and wood burns in the wood-fired ovens. Featuring all the classic authentic pizza recipes, La Pizza also includes some wonderful new ideas, all based on genuine southern Italian ingredients.

About the Author
Author Ian Thomson has travelled extensively in southern Italy. Among the books he has written is Southern Italy (Collins Independent Travellers' Guides). Recipe writer Natalia Borri is passionate about pizza, and many recipes in this book have been enjoyed in the shade of the fig tree in her garden. Nikko Amandonico is one of Italy's most noted graphic designers. Ewa-Marie Rundquist is an internationally renowned photographer, whose pictures have illustrated many cookery books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little pizza heaven on a plate!, 14 Jun 2005
By Jo Scrase (Newton Abbot, Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Being forever dissapointed with doughy, stodgy, overtopped and overpriced pizzas we decided to try making our own. We could not have chosen a better book to inspire us. The dough is so simple to make but utterly delicious and the toppings simple and authentic. The spinach, ricotta and parma ham one is a firm favourite and has fed hungry friends at dinner parties. The dough freezes really well in balls and can then be defrosted and used straight away. You will try these recipes and never buy a pizza outside of Italy again!! The photographs are as delicious as the recipes and as the book is always out, people love to flick through it and read snippets of pizza history. This would make a wonderful present for pizza lovers everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sumptuously illustrated and enthusiastically written., 3 Aug 2001
By A Customer
I bought this book for my boyfriend, but couldn't put it down! For anyone who likes pizza this is a brilliant present- photographs to make your mouth water and luscious prose to complement them. Part social history, part recipe book and part celebration, this is perhaps the most evocative book about food (and Naples) I've seen. You can almost smell the woodsmoke, and feel the silken mozzarella. Photographers might be interested too; there are wonderfully observed candid and posed portraits, as well as the still shots of ingredients, pizzerias and Madonnas.

A luxury, but one which - as William Morris recommended - is functional as well as beautiful.
