If there was an equivalent to ‘Desert Island Discs’ for food with only one choice, then that choice would have to be the ubiquitous pizza.

I think that there would be nothing better, because of its ability to suit the everyone’s idea of how it should be done. The base of the pizza provides the necessary carbohydrates, the meats please the carnivores and vegetables please the vegetarians. If you add to that the soft melted mozzarella cheese you have the goodness necessary to survive.

All of us like our differences in tastes and ingredients, which reflect how different we are as individuals. My choice of pizza is dependant on several different factors, for example, the mood that I am in, the time of the year and whether it is from a takeaway service. A particular choice in winter, for example, may see me add a good range of vegetables that are filling on a cold day, like for example, artichokes or peppers. If I am cooking a pizza in my own oven at home, I like to use a thin crusty base, as this tends to be a nicer taste and is easier to digest. It is important to use a good quality tomato sauce, and to me, the best has to be homemade. I achieve this by simply plunging the tomatoes into boiling water for about 10 seconds, making it much easier to remove the skins. Simultaneously chop an onion and gently fry it with some garlic, eventually adding the tomatoes. Use about 10 minutes to mix all the ingredients together gradually breaking the tomatoes down. Allow this to cool before applying this to the base of the pizza.

Liberally apply tomato sause over the base with care, adding mozzarella and freshly grated parmasan cheese. Prepare the oven to a temperature of about 220 degrees, for the baking of your pizza. It is crucial to use the exact temperature in your oven to obtain the best results for your pizza. Get the temperature either too hot or too cold and you will be disappointed with the result. Get things right in the preparation, and you could well think like me that it is one of the best meals available!
