La Pizza by Nikko Amandonico
The pizza was born amid the poverty and exuberance of Naples. The classic Margherita and Marinara pizzas are linked not only to the city's fresh produce of tomatoes, garlic, buffalo mozzarella, olive oil and basil, but also to its history, religion, mythology and street life. This vibrant and colourful book is a celebration of the Neapolitan pizza and of the city itself. Over 200 photographs evoke the street atmosphere, from the vespas that swish by to the pizzerias where dough rises and wood burns in the wood-fired ovens. Featuring all the classic authentic pizza recipes, La Pizza also includes some wonderful new ideas, all based on genuine southern Italian ingredients.
Author Ian Thomson has travelled extensively in southern Italy. Among the books he has written is Southern Italy (Collins Independent Travellers' Guides). Recipe writer Natalia Borri is passionate about pizza, and many recipes in this book have been enjoyed in the shade of the fig tree in her garden. Nikko Amandonico is one of Italy's most noted graphic designers. Ewa-Marie Rundquist is an internationally renowned photographer, whose pictures have illustrated many cookery books.
