Welcome to Cook with Us #16!
Please watch for the next newsletter that's coming out in a few days which will include an updated calendar with additional themes.
The theme for Cook with Us #16:
Pizza
No Mystery Theme this Week
Pizza is without a doubt the world’s most favorite food. While people have been eating flatbread with toppings since ancient times, it was not until the tomato made its way from the Americas to Italy that something resembling what we consider pizza today was invented. Although it did take a few hundred years for the tomato to be accepted in Italy as a food. When it first arrived, people thought it was poisonous. The people of Naples, Italy are credited with creating the modern pizza with bread, tomatoes and cheese. Probably the most famous pizza of all time is the Margherita pizza created for Queen Margherita’s visit to Naples in 1889. The Margherita pizza is topped with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and basil. These ingredients are the same colors as the Italian flag. source
This week the Cook with Us team, @chefsteve, @pandamama and @offoodandart, would like to see your favorite pizza. Let us know any unique facts about how pizza is made in your part of the world. Also share with us how pizza is evolving where you live. Since there are so many variations of pizza there will not be a mystery theme this week.
