With life a bit different at the moment, we’re bringing our videos to you from home for a while. Join Partner and Food Editor Silvana in her home kitchen for the second in the series, as she and her children, Fabio and Cassia, cook pizzas for a family pizza party.
This pizza recipe is really versatile and a great way to get children involved in cooking. The great thing is that everyone can make their pizza exactly how they want it – thin and crispy or deep pan and with different toppings. You can even make it vegan and dairy-free by using vegan cheese or skipping the cheese altogether like Silvana. Be creative with your flavours and maybe even help settle the ongoing debate of whether pineapple ever actually belongs on a pizza… tell us what you think in the comments!
Over the weeks, we’ll be bringing you recipes, ideas and tips to help you make the most of what’s in your cupboards to cook simple, nourishing meals to feed the family, or stock up the freezer. There’ll be bakes and recipes to get children cooking, too. We’d love to hear what you’d like to see in future videos, so comment below and let us know!
