I have not always been a seafood lover. As a kid, back in the day, we loved shrimp of course. It seems most people do –  even non-seafood fans will eat some shrimp. We also grew up on fish sticks! I haven’t seen a fish stick in a long long time. I guess I graduated to loving a good fried cod as Fish and Chips. I won’t get off track…Read More…

Hi everyone.

I don’t think I need to explain what the Vera Pizza Napoletana (VPN) certification is in detail, but to anyone who’s just wandered by our site, who may not know, the VPN was established as a denomination of control (DOC) by the Italian government to designate and identify pizzerias who meet and follow strict requirements that respect the traditions and art of true Neapolitan Pizza making. What the VPN does…Read More…

Hi Everyone, We’re getting closer and closer to relaunching the site with more videos and recipes, but are still in the final tweak stage.

Hi All. Just got a great review on my new book, “Bread Revolution” at the following site: http://www.thekitchn.com/bread-revolution-by-peter-reinhart-cookbook-review-214550 Looks like a great site for lots of good recipes and commentary, so I’m just passing it on and, thanks to the folks at TheKitchn.com for their kind words. Best, Peter  

Note from Peter: Many of you have read Bob Radcliffe’s entire Pizza Quest series on his search for the perfect tomato pie, and some of you have even been to his extraordinary tomato pie events at Lynch Creek Farm in rural North Carolina.
