THE JOY OF PIZZA

Dan Richer

Everything You Need to Know

THE JOY OF PIZZA brings you an insider's look at how to make perfect pizza right in your own home. Starting from the basics - dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings - Richer takes the reader through the infinite possibilities and expressions of one of the world's favorite foods, from choosing the perfect tomato to making your own pies from scratch. THE JOY OF PIZZA will provide every home pizza maker with all the tools to master delicious pizzas, from traditional to creative.
Dan Richer has been a James Beard Foundation Rising Star Chef semi-finalist, and a nominee for the James Beard Best Chef, Mid-Atlantic for the past three years running. This book is the ultimate guide to pizza from one of the world's foremost pizzaiolos, exploring the infinite approaches to pizza-making that come from four simple but endlessly fascinating components: dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings. But while it dives deep, it starts with a beginner's curiosity--and is perfect for anyone looking to make their first pie. Michael Szczerban is the editor and acquired world rights from David Black at David Black Literary Agency. The book includes 125 four-color photographs.

Dan Richer, chef and owner of Jersey City's Razza, has spent his career perfecting every element of the perfect pizza; ten years later, he's still perfecting it. Driven by the desire to make each day's pizza better than it was yesterday, Richer has nailed down a list of 40 characteristics that define the perfect pizza, from the sweetness of the tomatoes to the crispness and aroma of the crust. Perfecting each of these characteristics has led to the creation of a whole new art and science of making pizza. Now, he's sharing his expertise with the home cook.

THE JOY OF PIZZA has gone straight to the top 5 on the New York Times bestseller list (for Best Sellers Advice, How-To & Misc. List)

Home cooks interested in learning how to make pizza from scratch will appreciate this cookbook by rising culinary star Richer... The recipes for different kinds of pizza dough (including sourdough) are worth the price of admission alone, but the book also helpfully includes rubrics for evaluating tomatoes, olive oil, and mozzarella.

What makes this book so compelling and perfect for beginners is that Richer starts with the basics. Perfect your own pizza dough, sauce, and cheese selection before combining them all into creative concoctions... You'll learn how to assess your cheese, measure your cooking temperatures, make your own sourdough, and much more. The Joy of Pizza is beautifully photographed and offers useful tips for beginners and advanced skills for pizza pros.

For Dan Richer, the best pizza is not in New Jersey, or New York, or even Italy - but wherever you happen to be. As long as you get your hands on the finest local ingredients and master the art of dough-making, you can produce a truly exceptional pie from just about anywhere. The Razza chef/owner explains this, along with everything else he's learned in his 20 years of making pizza, in The Joy of Pizza.
