I can’t believe that I had never heard
of a pizza stone.
I’ve had pizza in Milan, so I can tell you for sure
that I have yet to find place in Cape Town that makes anything
like the real thing.
I can say the same about Indian cooking, but fortunately
I can cook the real thing at home.
But when it comes to pizza….
Well, for starters, I don’t have a pizza oven, so
there is no way that I could make an authentic Italian pizza
t home.
Right?
Apparently, wrong.
Enter
the pizza stone.
.
With this stone, if the hype can be believed,
I can make one in my oven.
It would not have that special flavour that only a wood-burning
fire adds, but hold on….
If I want that flavour, I can do in the Weber!
I have yet to buy said pizza stone, but
I have Googled it, nd apparently Cadac stocks them.
I am not a very patient man at the best
of times, so I have already started doing research into
the perfect Italian pizza, and everything points to ‘it
all starts with the dough.’
I have one such authentic recipe for the
dough so far, but I won’t post that until I have tried
and tested it.
After I buy the stone.
To get you all excited, here is a hint.
Molino Caputo Tipo 00 flour!
In the meantime, for those of you who are
as impatient as I am, here is a video that shows you how
to make easy pizzas at home.
And you don’t even need the pizza stone.
But I doubt whether it will be as good as
the real thing.
For that, you have to bear with me.

ceases to amaze me. Disgust me.
I’m almost too disgusted to post this on my site.
Well, there is no reasonable point,

for how sick human beings are capable of being. Read More….

6 July 2010 RECIPE FOR SEAFOOD PAELLA:
Before we rush into the kitchen to cook, let’s clear up
the pronunciation thing.
It is pronounced pah-el-ya, but the first L is pronounced in
a rather complicated way where the tongue does not actually
touch the pallet. So it sounds closer to pah-eh-ya.
Got it? Let’s
cook!

1 April 2010 CONFUSE THEIR TONGUES AND RULE:
I often bitch about the fact that we have eleven official languages
in SA, claiming that it a sure-fire way to ensure that we never
understand each other and a powerful deterrent to racial harmony
and a united nation.
I had no idea that Nelson Mandela and the ANC were simply following
a divine strategy to remain in power well into the future. Read
