"Do you like pizza? Do you long to
make it at home but fear the result will be a big mess - not even as good as the dull
stuff you get from your supermarket freezer? This DVD is for you! Steve
Ryan furnishes a simple but excellent lecture-demonstration on pizza-making, complete with
the little hints that prevent failure. He takes his time demonstrating preparation
of the dough and also discusses different combinations of toppings and cheeses, freezing
techniques, and the alternative of using part of the dough for garlic bread. He
suggests ways to save time, by using canned tomato sauce and spice mixes, and money by
buying ingredients in bulk, and explains the value of different pans (although he says no
special pan is necessary) and advises ways to obtain them at minimal cost."
Ms. Inter concludes, "Ryan knows his
pizza and is skillful at imparting his knowledge. Recommended for public libraries
and school library media centers in elementary and secondary schools." (Special School Offer).

Video Pizza 2000 - "Showing viewers
how to get a 'from-scratch' pizza (with two-bucks' worth of ingredients) in the oven
within 20 minutes is the goal of this culinary-instruction program. Beginning with
homemade crust preparation, a genial and effective chef shows how to 'make it how you like
it - better than the pros' in clearly demonstrated steps. Close-ups are carefully
used for emphasis and visual variety, while graphics list the necessary ingredients and
cooking utensils. The need to knead is stressed, and a lesson on making garlic
bread from unused dough is also provided. Made to order for pizza-loving cooks who
have the time and inclination to make their own pies."
