My brother Thomas made pizza while I was visiting him last weekend; impressed by how good it was (he’s an excellent cook), I resolved that I need to follow his lead. And so the very night I returned home I procured the appropriate tools and made a pie. Yesterday I did the same; here is a photo of my Margherita pizza (named, incidentally, after a queen of Italy; the colours are those of the Italian flag: green basil; white cheese; red sauce):
I’m not yet to Tom’s level—but I’m getting better. When I have the art mastered, I shall put a recipe up on my bachelor recipes page.
