But confidence breeds success; I know of no better way to gain that confidence than by learning the underlying principles involved, and there is no more thoroughly researched or referenced resource for learning these principles—both ancient and modern—than Modernist Pizza. Whether you’re a first-time pizza maker or a well-seasoned pro, it will challenge and inspire you in the kitchen and beyond.”
