"Seeing it for the first time, when it was published in 2012, I remember thinking how daring it was to produce a book with a stripped-away spine, leaving its binding and pea-green stitching exposed. This choice was a practical one, however, because it allowed the book to open completely, meaning it lies (or leans) absolutely flat, which makes it feel like the most obliging book, with no threat whatsoever of it flipping closed"
"Pizzette with courgette, mozzarella and mint Makes 12 15g fresh yeast, or 7g fast-action dried yeast 500g strong white bread flour, plus extra for dusting 15g fine salt 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing 200g well-drained mozzarella, thinly sliced 50g grated parmesan 24 mint leaves1 courgette, thinly sliced (a mandoline is useful here) Extra-virgin olive oil Chilli flakes, to serve (optional)"
A spineless binding with exposed pea-green stitching allows the volume to open completely and lie flat, preventing pages from flipping while hands are occupied. A basic pizza or pizzette dough recipe proves reliable and effective, repeatedly used since 2012. A cooking teacher, Carla Tomasi, endorsed the recipe but preferred kneading in the bowl with wet hands and using folding pulls to build elasticity. The guidance favors quick-to-make, quick-to-bake small pizzas: make, eat, and move on. A recommended topping combination is courgette, mozzarella, parmesan and mint. The recipe yields twelve pizzette and lists precise ingredient amounts and initial mixing instructions.
