Italian pizza
Perfect with tea and coffee. You will surely ask: how do I know how to cook Italian pizza the right way? Here’s my answer. First, I was lucky enough to visit Italy—more than once, in fact. I was always struck by the fact that in every Italian family pizzeria (not the kind where the menu is tailored to tourists’ tastes, but the kind where Italians eat themselves), they usually offered only one kind of pizza: topped with mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes. In other words, according to Italians themselves, real pizza is only the kind with no extra ingredients beyond those listed. Everything else is an American invention—Americans who decided to add sausage and other gastronomic delights to pizza. Second, a friend from Naples once stayed with me, and when we went to a Russian restaurant and ordered pizza, he was amazed for a long time at what they brought him :) He’s the one who taught me to make real Italian pizza. And I’m not stingy—I’ll share the secrets with you. So, here is a simple recipe for Italian “Margherita” pizza. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
