Potato Crust Pizza Recipe

Makes (1) 16 inch 41 centimeter thin crust pizza

2-2 ½ lb/900-1215g potatoes, slice thin on the mandolin into rounds*

corn or potato starch for dusting the rounds

1 tsp/5ml YaDa Chef’s Maya Natural Sea Salt

1 tsp/5ml fresh ground black pepper

¼ cup/59ml Parmesan cheese (optional)

1 tbsp/15ml olive oil to drizzle over potatoes

2 cloves garlic, sliced thin

Toppings of your choice…

Pre-heat oven to 450F/232C/GasMark 8

After slicing the potatoes place in a large bowl cover with cold water, swish around, drain repeating 2 more times. This is removing excess starch. Dry potatoes well using either paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth. Dust lightly with corn or potato starch. Lightly oil a 16 inch/41 centimeter pizza round. Lay potatoes around the pan slightly overlapping the potatoes. Sea with some salt and pepper and light sprinkling of the Parmesan cheese if using. Continue the layers until potatoes are used keeping the layers uniform. Drizzle with oil to help brown. Place in pre-heated oven for 45 minutes. Remove potatoes from oven. Lower the heat to 375F/190C/GasMark 5. Evenly lay the garlic over the crisped potatoes, then the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with olive oil. Place in oven for 20-35 minutes.

*use more potatoes for a thicker crust

YaDa Chef Tip: You can make the crust in advance and finish when you are ready to eat. substitute non-dairy cheese to make this vegan.

Pitted vs Unpitted Olives — Which Are Better?

Q. Are there any differences in flavor or texture among pitted and unpitted brine-cured olives? A. To evaluate any differences between pitted and unpitted olives, we gathered both green and black brine-cured olives from deli sections at supermarkets, as well as olives packed in plastic and glass containers. After tasting many samples, it became clear that the pitted olives suffered on two counts: they tasted saltier and their flesh was mushier. They also lacked the complex, fruity flavors of the unpitted kind. Here's why: Before being packed for sale, fresh-picked olives are soaked in brine for periods of up to a year to remove bitterness and develop flavor. Once pitted, the olives are returned to the brine for packing, which can penetrate the inside of the olive and turn it mushy and pasty, as well as increase the absorption of salt. That saltier taste can mask subtler flavors. If you have the time, it makes sense to buy unpitted olives and pit them yourself...

Homemade Turkey Ham Recipe

Making your own cured turkey “ham”, is not only healthier, but in our opinion much tastier. It will be much lower in sodium and be preservative free. You are going to use turkey in 3 different forms. Cubed, minced and pureed. This will give it a more “ham” like texture. Start with 2 pounds 10.5 ounces of skin off deboned turkey thigh meat Cubed Turkey 14 ounces/400 grams turkey meat, cut into cubes 1 teaspoon/4 grams salt 1/4 teaspoon/1 grams curing salt Minced/Ground Turkey (if you use pre minced make sure it’s thigh meat) 14 ounces/400 grams turkey meat 1 teaspoon/4 grams salt 1/2 teaspoon/2 grams curing salt 2 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons/40mls water For The Puree 10.5 ounces/300 grams turkey meat 4 teaspoons/20mls water 1/2 teaspoon/2mls garlic powder 1 teaspoon/4 grams salt 1/2 teaspoon/2 grams curing salt 1 large egg white 2 teaspoons/10ml liquid smoke 1/2 tablespoon/2 grams smoked paprika Trim the turkey if not trimmed alread...

Three Advantages of Having a Personal Chef

Hiring a personal chef will not only reinvent your dinners, but also change how you think about food. Cooking can be a complicated, lengthy practice, which is why many people turn to a quick sandwich or can of tomato soup for dinner. Put aside that sandwich and soup and hire a personal chef. 1. A Chef Know What Foods To Purchase How many times have you taken a trip to the grocery store and wastefully spent money? You purchase something you think you'll eat, but it just sits in your pantry until the expiration date passes by. A personal chef will prevent this from happening. He or she will know exactly what to buy and how much of it is needed to cook a meal. 2. Convenience Place yourself into this situation: you've been at work since 9 a.m. and the minute hand just struck 5 p.m. You rush home to pick your daughter up from school so you can drop her off at her softball game. By the time the game ends, it's already 7 p.m. You have no ti...

Arrange the eggplant slices on an extra large baking sheet in a single layer. Brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Flip and repeat the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Roast eggplant in the oven for 30-35 minutes , until soft, golden, and caramelized.
