Any easy to make thin crust pizza recipes out there?

No one in our house hold knows how to cook. I’d like to make and bake a pizza with my 8 year old. Just cheese and pepperoni. But something easy but yummy!

Tomlawbc, Christina C’s suggestion would be the way to go, with one portion you can make a couple of pizza’s, and if your going to use the caned crushed tomato, I would run it through the food processor first. Season it with salt and pepper, and a 1/2 teaspoon of oregano. In the center of the pizza (depending on size), a spoon full of the sauce and spread it in a secular motion leaving 1/2 inch from the outer edge, add your pepperoni, cheese on top, into the oven it goes. If yo don’t have the pizza brick, place the dough on foil.

Enjoy my friend.

Famous Italian Food
Many places are famous for doing a particular food very well. How about your area? What is your famous food?

I am from Chicago and we are famous for several types of foods, from simple and cheap to the very high class and expensive. We have world famous restaurants here like Charlie Trotters and hot dog vendors who walk the streets with a large hot dog kart on wheels.

New England offers a wide variety of food depending on what area you’re in. New England is famous for clambakes and seafood dishes. In Boston, there’s Chef Jasper White’s Seafood Shacks which offers a casual and friendly atmosphere and high quality seafood specialties.. There’s also Legal Seafoods, ( a chain but good) which I’ve visited on several occasions when visiting Boston. I love Scrod so I always seek that dish out and have never been disappointed in it’s taste or quality.

In many of the smaller towns in New England you’ll find some pretty amazing cooks who prepare monthly suppers for their churches, to raise money. Often they will offer tasty and hearty homemade beans and ham ,and an assortment of pies.

Lots of variety in New England and loads of eateries to visit with varied price ranges.

Difference between Italian and Sicilian culture?

I know Sicilian people are Italians but is there a BIG difference in Sicilian culture and the rest of Italy? How is their lifestyle compared to the rest of the Italian population? I mean do Sicilians have their own famous foods and such that’s not the typical Italian style? I also heard that people who speak Italian like up North cant understand the Sicilian accent. Is that true? i know that some words are different but is there a huge difference in dialect?

I’m 16 and I’m from Sicily, sorry but I don’t speak English very well… Anyway, it’s right that sicilian people have a different culture respect to other Italian regions, such us food, traditions, dialect, and I think that is normal. But I can garantee you that everyone who lives in Italy can understand us, because now the historical situation is very different regarding to 80 years ago. Now there are more gradueted people in Sicily than in the others Italian regions and our lifestyle is like the rest of the Italian population, but we have better food, fabulos sun and beautiful sea =)

What do you consider to be the bible of authentic Italian cooking (not Italian-American)?

I loved the movie Julie and Julia, but I am not a fan of French food. Julia Child’s book has been considered the bible of French cooking (in English) so I was wondering what you would consider to be the bible of Italian cooking.

Many consider “The Classic Italian Cookbook” by Marcella Hazan to be one of, if not the best.
