Can you imagine consuming 23 pounds of anything? Well, odds are that you do - on the average, Americans eat 23 pounds, or 43 slices, of pizza per year! So what do those 43 slices consist of? Pepperoni, extra cheese, maybe anchovy if you're daring. But that's not all pizza can be! America's favourite food has a varied background-probably more than you realize. There are tons of interesting flavour combinations and styles out there, from traditional to gourmet, from Sicilian to French . . . and don't even get me started on the possibilities of using other grains or cooking methods for the crust! But put down that phone! Not even the most amateur cooks have to rely on delivery for great pizzas and grilled sandwiches. All you really need is The Complete Idiot's Guide to Pizza and Panini. This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of pizza making, from trade secrets, comparisons and instructions for baking pans, stones, and pizza ovens to unique takes on different types of pizzas and Panini.

Sherman's book walks you through from start to finish: equipment, tools, doughs, breads, sauces, and finally, the complete recipes. This isn't an exhaustive cookbook; it's meant to give you the how-to and provide a handful of samples in different areas, such as meat pizzas, vegetable pizzas, breakfast and dessert pizzas, and then a similar array of panini.
The directions are quite thorough, and include many little tips along the way. Unfortunately, there are also a few missing bits of information.
The good news is, the recipes are delicious and easy. I enjoyed the various pizza doughs we made from Sherman's recipes, as well as the homemade pizza sauce. The Artichoke & Brie Pizza was a nice change of pace, and the homemade version of a Quattro Formaggio (four cheese) Pizza was definitely better than the commercial equivalent. There's a 'Tuna Meltdown Panino' in here that combined such ingredients as tuna salad, gouda, and avocado to wonderful effect.
Make sure you read the informational/how-to parts of the book before you dive into the recipes. After that, however, I think you'll find it so surprisingly easy to make your own pizzas that you'll be tempted to do it every week!
