Knock-out recipes for award-winning, Philadelphia-style pizzas, wings,
shakes, and more, from Down North, the pizzeria owned and operated
exclusively by formerly incarcerated people, featuring poignant stories
from its employees.
Created and launched by Philly born-and-bred entrepreneur Muhammad
Abdul-Hadi, the mission of Down North Pizza is to reduce recidivism
rates in North Philly and serve up the most insanely delicious food
while doing it.
We the Pizza tells the Down North story about how the restaurant
fulfills its mission to educate and support the formerly incarcerated
while serving dope food. A testament to survival and second chances,
this cookbook offers recipes for the tender, crispy-edged, square-cut,
sauce-on-top pies that are Down North’s signature dish; a whole chapter
is devoted to vegetarian and vegan pizzas like No Better Love made with
four cheeses and the arrabbiata-inspired Norf Sauce, while the meat and
seafood pizza chapter features their most popular Roc the Mic pepperoni
pie as well as the smoky berbere-brisket Tales of a Hustler and Say
Yes, topped with jerk turkey sausage, roasted butternut squash, kale,
ricotta, and lemon-honey drizzle.
The 65 recipes for pizzas along with classic and creative wings, fries,
lemonades, and shakes are paired with cinematic photography of the
pizzas in their natural setting and out in the wilds of Philadelphia,
with lots of journalistic-style photography of the Down North crew
making dough and slinging pies. At the same time, We the Pizza provides
detailed historical information about incarceration in the United
States along with empowering stories from Down North’s formerly
incarcerated staff. And with exclusive pizza recipes from renowned
chef-supporters like Marc Vetri and Marcus Samuelsson, We the Pizza
celebrates ingeniously delicious pizza, as well as the power people
have to rise above their circumstances—if simply given the chance.

MINIMAL EFFORT TIME ON YOUR HANDS A BIT ON THE SIDE
With the addition of just a few store cupboard staples or a handful
of fresh ingredients picked up on your way home, Batch But Better
shows how easy it is to transform one meal into three - saving you
time and money and reducing waste. For every recipe cooked from
scratch, Lizzie provides ideas for two more fuss-free dishes. Roast
aubergine with tomatoes transforms into a pasta bake and mini
calzones. A supper of lamb koftes becomes a comforting moussaka as
well as spiced lamb and hummus wraps. Deliciously sticky short ribs
cooked at the weekend give you a fresh and feisty Thai beef salad
and Vietnamese summer rolls in the days after. From vegetable-based
dishes to fish, meat and also desserts, this book will not only
help you save time in the kitchen, spend less and avoid waste, but
also cook simple, good-for-you meals that you really want to eat.
Everyone loves soup, it is the ultimate comfort food. Whether you
yearn for a traditional creamy tomato, a spicy fish chowder or a
deliciously umami-rich ramen, a mug of soup is the perfect supper
on the sofa, quick lunch and between-meal savoury snack. But a
great-tasting soup has to involve long cooking with big pans and
bulk ingredients, right? Wrong! Every soup in this book has been
specially created to suit the microwave and to be cooked in a
single mug, ready to eat. Instead of opening up a can, you can have
an even yummier home-cooked mushroom soup, or chicken, even
minestrone - made fresh in just the same amount of time.

be faced with eating leftovers for a week. Following on from the
huge success of One Tin Bakes and One Tin Bakes Easy, Great British
Bake Off winner Edd Kimber's new book proves that good things
really do come in small packages! It offers accessible, easy bakes
that are perfect for singles, small households, students or anyone
who likes to bake a lot. Primarily sweet, the recipes include
cookies, cakes, tarts and bars a well as desserts and a sprinkling
of savoury breads, buns and pies. The skill level is on the easier
side, and equipment is kept to a minimum, so everyone can have a
little of what they fancy.
