Mom’s Pickled Jalapenos
I was making some cheese pizzas for the site to showcase Peter’s Herb Oil Recipe a few weeks ago. When I was finished a light bulb went off. I had a special condiment that would go great with those herby-cheesey pizzas! Mom’s Soy Pickled Jalapenos.
Peter’s Blog, News You Can Use!
Hi Everyone, There are a number of interesting events coming up during the next few months that I’d like to get on your radar. In June, our friend Molly O’Neill will be organizing the First Annual (we hope) Minneapolis Bread Festival. If all comes together as we hope it will (these things never go totally smoothly, especially during the inaugural launch) I’ll be out there along with Joseph Pergolizzi and…Read More…

Report from the Vegas Pizza Expo
I’m not sure who was working at the world’s great pizzerias the first week in March, because it is clear that for a brief time the center of the pizza universe was the Las Vegas Convention Center. The International Pizza Expo has always been the premier event for professional pizza makers, but this year the show has improved to an astonishing degree. It has become a place where mozzarella d’…Read More…
Kelly’s Marinara Pizza
{youtube}W2-qC7TBau8{/youtube} It’s hard to believe, if you love cheese the way I do, that this cheese-free classic is every bit as satisfying as the best cheeser-cheeser. Kelly Whitaker, who we’ve featured here before at his wonderful Boulder restaurant, Pizzeria Basta, show us how it’s done. Make note of the beautiful bright red tomato sauce — it makes you crave it as soon as you see him spread it on. But,…Read More…
Pizza, Healthy Pizza?
Lately I’ve been thinking about how pizza gets a bad rap in the world of nutrition. Specifically, I find it irritating that pizza, all pizza, is largely dismissed as “junk food.” Don’t get me wrong, as a nutrition professional I love the work that folks like Jamie Oliver are doing out there. We need to think more about the things we put into our mouths that fall under the increasingly…Read More…
Olive and Peppadew Tapenade
I’m becoming quite fond of those bright red pickled peppers you find in the pack your own condiment bar of supermarkets next to the olive bar–you know, the ones that look like tiny mini-me’s of red bell peppers but have a lot more zing and are sweet and vinegary and just explode in your mouth with flavor. They’re called peppadew peppers and are from South Africa originally. A few years…Read More…
Is Gluten-Free Here to Stay?
I just returned from a project working on creating new gluten-free breads and I must say, gluten-free is the big buzz these days. A few years ago, when I tried to convince a large product company to produce gluten-free products they told me the market wasn’t big enough. Then, a few years later, they called me back and said “Guess what–the market is there and we’re ready to produce those…Read More…
Coming Attractions, Week of March 7th
This week we return to Pizzeria Basta in Boulder, CO, for another Kelly Whitaker pizza demo. This time, Kelly shows us his personal favorite, a simple and delicious Marinara pizza, with a few special Kelly touches. This video will post on Thursday. I’ll be back on Tuesday for a new Peter’s Blog, with some comments on the growing gluten free trend. Along the same lines, new Guest Columnist Tom Carrig…Read More…
History on a Plate
Lately I’ve been thinking about my ninth grade history class. What I recall most vividly was that at the time I had almost no interest in world history. Like a lot of kids that age, I wasn’t looking much at the past, and I really couldn’t understand what all that old stuff had to do with my life. You see, by the age of 15 I had already spent several…Read More…
