Peter Reinhart is a full-time baking instructor at Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was the cofounder of the legendary Brother Juniper's Bakery in Santa Rosa, California, and is the author of six books on bread baking, including Brother Juniper's Bread Book and the 2002 James Beard and IACP Book of the Year, The Bread Baker's Apprentice.
“Peter Reinhart has taken a deep look into pizza, one of the best
and simplest of foods, embracing all its variety. He probes
American pizza especially, but he has tasted the original in Naples
and visited elsewhere in Italy to learn about variations and
relatives. He tells vivid stories, and his recipes and techniques
are thorough and practical. A splendid book.” —Edward Behr, editor,
The Art of Eating
“I doubt whether anyone else could be as passionate as Peter
Reinhart about pizzas or have made such extensive and exciting
journeys in pursuing them. He has collected great anecdotes and
wonderfully detailed recipes in the course of his intercontinental
hunt.” —Alan Davidson, author of The Oxford Companion to Food
“We all know that Peter Reinhart is a great baker and teacher, but
now that he's fallen in love with pizza, we can see he's also a
great tour guide as he takes us to the best pizzerias in Italy and
America. Secrets are divulged, expert tips provided, and stories
told. Much more than a collection of recipes, this is a book that
is as fun to read as it is to bake from.” —Carol Field, author of
The Italian Baker
