For the love of Pizza
You find yourself stranded on a dessert island and you can only take ingredients for one dish what are you going to take?  My answer: I am taking ingredients for Pizza.  In my opinion it is possibly the perfect food.  It can be everything to everyone.  Lots of bread in the crust for the hard core carb cravers, tons of meat for the carnivores in the crowd, loads of veggies for the vegetarians and a whack of melty cheesy goodness that will satisfy just about anyone.  In the winter you can cook pizza in the oven and load it up to keep you warm from the inside out, in the summer you can create a masterpiece on the barbeque and transform it with fresh veggies and shellfish.  You can eat it cold for breakfast and even cook the crust and make a salad pizza by not cooking any of the toppings.  What other recipe offers up the versatility of pizza?  Then you might get that sudden pang of guilt - pizza isnð€™t exactly the healthiest food around.  Correct but who cares, you are on a dessert island, there is plenty of time for exercise and restraint.  In fact you wonð€™t be getting dessert so have 2 slices.
