My dear friend John loves to cook and has a great creative flair. Instead of running out to the grocery store when he doesn't have an ingredient, he just substitutes the missing ingredient with what he has on hand, or just makes something up with available ingredients. Whenever he's in town, you can bet he's in the kitchen with us whipping up some new dish we've never cooked before. I love getting late night texts (he's on the west coast) of what he's cooking (as well as edits I need to make to the Cookbook). Last night John made Basic Pizza Dough (page 50) and totally improvised the pizza itself. Here he tops the pizza dough with Pesto, Mozzarella, Shrimp and Kalamata Olives. "Devine! The crust was awesome." With what ingredients do you like to top your pizza?
