Originating in the south of Italy, pizzas are now an internationally popular meal. Make your own pizzas & you will not only save money but you'll also be able to create individual toppings to suit every member of the family. This new collection of recipes introduces healthy & nutritious toppings, as well as fresh & imaginative flavour combinations to make the best use of seasonal ingredients all year round. These toppings can be added to ready-made bases or you can prepare & freeze your own using one of the basic recipes for traditional yeast doughs or the quicker alternatives using scone-type pastry. Try one of the 80 or so imaginative toppings given here, including meat, cheese, fish, vegetables & seafood, or mix & match your own combinations. They're great served hot & just as tasty eaten cold the next day, though with these irresistible recipes there are unlikely to be any leftovers.
