Pizza Margherita

February 13, 2016 by Liliana Leave a Comment

Pizza Margherita is  the classic, the base of all other pizzas. It’s most kid’s favourite and if you can make a great Margherita you’ll keep everyone happy.

The secret is a good sauce so use my Basic Tomato Sauce. I like the extra flavour of oregano and Parmesan on mine. Click here for my recipe for basic pizza dough if you want to make your own bases.

Welcome

Hi. I’m Liliana. Welcome to my little Italian kitchen under the Australian sun. Here you’ll find recipes that come from my Italian roots mixed with the multicultural melting pot of my Aussie home. I love to share stories about food and travel. I’m always dreaming of Italy, have a passion for the ancient world, and when not in the kitchen you will find me in a good book or two.  I believe food connects us to each other and there is nothing better than good simple food placed in the middle of the table for everyone to share. Hoping my recipes bring a little piece of Italy and joy to your table.
