Summary: Great for pizza lovers.........
Review: .....but to use this book regularly you must be rather adventurous!!! I've made several of the more "standard" pizza recipes in this cookbook: Pizza Margherita, Potato Onion and Rosemary Pizza, Pizza Marinara, Black Olive Pizza, and Marinated Zucchini Pizza, all of which were excellent. There are also numerous calzone recipes that look scrumptous that I have yet to try. However, be prepared to try some "pizzas" you may never have heard of: tuna and egg pizza, sausage and apple pizza, curried fruit and cream pizza, banana and ricotta pizza with ham, orange and Grand Marnier pizza among others!!! Let's just say I'm waiting for the right mood to strike me before I try any of the latter category.

Some lovely added components of the cookbook include recipes for a variety of different doughs and instructions on how to make calzones. If variety and adventure appeal to you in particular - go for this cookbook.

Summary: Pizza for Breakfast!
Review: Who doesn't love pizza? But spend a few minutes with Lorenza De' Medici Stucchi's Pizza cookbook and you will be craving this all-time favorite for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Beyond the traditional tomato and cheese pizza recipes this fabulous cook book contains simple instructions for making from-scratch crust, hearty calzone recipes, and instructions for desert pizzas. Many of the more unusual recipes, like the Eggpland and Smoked Trout Pizza or the Gorgonzola and Walnut Pizza would make a wonderful first course for a special dinner. Uncork your favorite wine, this is pizza like you've never seen it before!

I ordered this book and purchased a pizza stone as a birthday gift for my father... a gift idea I plan to duplicate for many different occasions!
