Living in Panama, especially the quaint little town of El Valle, we are limited in our restaurant choices and even so, the menus are all the same. Chicken and rice, Corvina and rice or french fries if you prefer….etc. etc. So foods we would have normally ‘gone out’ for are something we either do without or - are learning to make myself. I have nearly perfected things like eggplant parmesean, great marinara sauce, dabbling in the Thai food world with a modified drunken noodle thing. So this week I spent a day in the kitchen busily trying my hand at new and complicated things. One of which was home-made pizzas. I expected it to be half-way soggy, doughy or not quite right, but I was so excited that it turned out so fabulous I had to share. I will try not to make too many food posts, but I felt this one was truly Artesan. But actually it was mostly due to the recipe, which was really great - from the one and only 101 cookbooks. These were margarita pizzas with hand-made pesto, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. Simply delicious.
