Written By Peter Reinhart

Stephanie Swane sits atop a unique publishing empire based in Bellevue, Washington.  Modernist Cuisine (https://modernistcuisine.com/ ) is responsible for some of the most innovative, disruptive culinary books of the past decade, including their landmark 50 pound, game-changing, 5-volume collection called Modernist Cuisine. It was followed, a few years later, by the equally weighty 5-vulume, Modernist Bread and, sometime soon, we expect an announcement of the publishing date for the eagerly awaited, Modernist Pizza. In between, the Modernist Cuisine  publishing house has also released stand-alone books of amazing, art collector caliber photography from all their various books (you can see selections on their website), and has even opened art galleries around the country selling prints of these photographic works created by Modernist Cuisine founder, Nathan Myhrvold, and his team of photographers. Hear all about it here, as well as about Stephanie’s travels around the world and her own never-ending quest for everything connected to bread, pizza, and a joyful life.

Pizza Quest is a site dedicated to the exploration of artisanship in all forms, wherever we find it, but especially through the literal and metaphorical image of pizza. As we share our own quest for the perfect pizza we invite all of you to join us and share your journeys too. We have discovered that you never know what engaging roads and side paths will reveal themselves on this quest, but we do know that there are many kindred spirits out there, passionate artisans, doing all sorts of amazing things. These are the stories we want to discover, and we invite you to jump on the proverbial bus and join us on this, our never ending pizza quest.
