Posted on 2011/02/28 by berkeleybarb

I had not had much luck with Pizza Margherita following the recipes I found online, even the one from Epicurious. I had tried D’s suggestion of adding oregano – which is growing enthusiastically in the garden – to the sauce, … Continue reading →

Posted on 2011/02/26 by berkeleybarb

I decided that grilled lamb would be a nice Saturday dinner to have with a good wine. We get New Zealand boneless leg of lamb from Costco, and I immediately cut it into kebab-sized chunks and freeze them 6 to … Continue reading →

I knew I could leave early enough to pay attention to a pizza today – even made a trip to the Bowl (in the rain – ok, just a little) before settling in. This is a Cheese Board recipe. This … Continue reading →

American Pizza – 23 February 2011

Posted on 2011/02/25 by berkeleybarb

I got home after 9pm, but fortunately had the presence of mind in the morning to realize this was possible, so I defrosted ingredients for the world’s easiest pizza. Not the best, however. I had leftover tomato sauce from my … Continue reading →

Luxury cheese and bread to compensate for the City Council meeting – 22 February 2011

Posted on 2011/02/25 by berkeleybarb

Well, the cheese and the baguette were superior. The City Council meeting was a headache, mostly b/c it is obvious the decision has already been made and we are just testifying so they can’t say we didn’t. Last Saturday when … Continue reading →

Personal pizza with radicchio, mozzarella di bufalo, onion, soppresatta, and pecorino – 21 February 2011

Posted on 2011/02/21 by berkeleybarb

Posted on 2011/02/21 by berkeleybarb

OK, this is my second attempt (the first was last May – I think the 29th or 30th?) at a pizza I had at La Ciccia in San Francisco. I found references to a radicchio pizza online and it lists … Continue reading →

Personal pizza with Romas, asiago, onions, and basil; radicchio with prosciutto – 19 February 2011

Posted on 2011/02/19 by berkeleybarb

Tonight’s personal pizza is from a photo of a wall sign in the Cheese Board’s wonderful cookbook. I thin-sliced some onion and cooked it in oil till it was slightly cooked, though I don’t think I’d quite call it “wilted” … Continue reading →
