Pizza

Good work.

Made a pretty damn fine calzone the other day. Sourdough pizza dough filled with grilled aubergines, tomatoes, rocket cheese and chorizo.

I want to set up a pizza van like the ones in France.. crazy idea?

Not if you know what you're doing.

If you do create one, you should tour the compass drinks... easy money.

Nice. remember seeing one on my travels that had the wood oven dome thing on a trailer so he could set up full wood fired oven for full piza orders and also had slices kept warm by oven in van for quick sale .

Yeah, I worked in Pizza express all through high school and Uni so ok in a (Pizza) kitchen (inc stock management and all that stuff)... have a plan in my head, it's just having the balls (and money) to go through with it... hmmm...

Yes. For pizza you should get an Italian van.

I had a fun time making pizzas the other weekend. Was accompanying the wife on a weekend away (a work thing for, child minding for me) and they had an outdoor clay oven.

I managed to perfect my pizza throwing skills, and encouraged others to have a go. Much hilarity ensued as they all fail miserably. A couple of rather decent pizzas appeared before the oven managed to lose all it heat making the other a disaster. Torrential rain plus clay oven (undercover, but alas) makes for bad pizzas. I guessing water everywhere is the perfect cooling system for a pizza oven.

I now definitely want my own clay oven, somehow.

Job done

^A friend of mine has built one of these at his BMX jumps (aka trails). Pretty good I hear...

I bought the book (£5), read most of it, and that is as far as I have gotten ....

Product testing!

I am all about the clay ovens since sumo and I had the best festival food ever at Latitude. Instead of processed, disgusting, overpriced shit I was actually happy to pay £6 for my pizza (+50p for toppings) and would have even paid more!

That looks awful! Far too much cheese...

Naaaaah, they were divine!
