RE: Contest Kitchen 1

in #contest6 years ago

In 1889, to celebrate the visit of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita Teresa of Savoy, Esposito invented three different pizzas The pizza chosen by the queen from among the three was the one that by its contents reminded her of the flag of Italy: green ( basil leaves), white (mozzarella cheese) and red (tomatoes).

It is incredible how, over the years, pizza is part of every human being, with an infinite number of ingredients to suit each person. Pizza occupies a privileged place in the world.

@leeuw chose a great menu for this contest, the ingredients are still a mystery but I know that many are close. My favorite pizza is the 4 cheeses and the margarita.
