Neapolitan Pizza Research

In a couple of days, I'm off to Italy. I've arranged to meet master pizza chef Enzo Coccia in Naples, who wrote "The Neapolitan Pizza: a scientific guide about the artisanal process". It's part of my research for an upcoming Galactic Culinary Society story...

Let's hope it goes better than my attempt at making a sourdough bread under the virtual guidance of Xbox inventor, physicist and sourdough expert, Seamus Blackley! (you can see the disastrous results of that on my Facebook page: ).

Here's Enzo with Stanley Tucci on CNN:

An uninvited guest interviewee

This interview I did for The Galactic Culinary Society was going well, until the alien Xstersi joined in, uninvited... and uh, things got a little off track. At least the interviewer took it in stride!
