Supper #1: Vegan Pizza

Do you like Italian handmade Pizza?
I like making my own pizza every now and then using fresh yeast, fresh tomato sauce, lots of veggies and my favorite vegan cheese!
When I was living in Italy I had to come to London quite often and buy as much vegan cheese as I could. Now that I live in London it's easier and I can buy my cheese every day from the health food shops to cook my dishes.
I must admit that I love pizza without cheese too, but for my first Supper I would like to bake the typical Italian Pizzas and.. Pizza is not Pizza without Mozzarella!

I decided Pizza for the First Supper because usually when you think of Italy and Italians, you say "Pasta" and "Pizza", even if we don't eat pizza every day.
And, I have to say, I'm a bit nervous because everything is completely new and i don't want to complicate my life too much for my first experience; I just need to concentrate on my dough and everything will be fine!

So, here you are all the infos you need:

Where: 239 Kilburn Lane, W10 4BS, London
When: May 9th 2012, 18.30
How: Email me at damayanti9876@googlemail.com to book your Pizza

Stay in touch for the Menu!
Ciao!
