Blended Hearts Pizza

Congratulations Isobel! Your recipe was this month’s winner in the Mioposto Mt. Baker Pizzaoli Constest. As a reward for your culinary contributions a $25 gift certificate is available for you to pick up at the restaurant. Thank you so much for your submission. Happy New Year!

Sincerely,
Chelan
Manager, Mioposto

Thin crusted pizza with roasted artichoke pesto as the base, goat cheese, dotted with delicious large black olives and lots of flavorfully toasted pine nuts. The last step is to put fresh parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, olive oil, on top.

I tasted the pizza today at Mioposto, and wished there was more artichoke pesto coverage on the crust. Next time I'll ask for thicker artichoke. It was delicious though.

Improvisational Cooking

Is there something better than "perfect science" in the kitchen? How about the fun of improvisation. This totally experential type of cooking adapts to the moment. Every recipe is either created new or revised to better fit the moment. No recipe is ever the same twice because every day has different circumstances. Why should it be? Perhaps the moment is inspired by a basket of local food from the farmer's market. Perhaps it is adapting to the food needs and tastes of a friend. Maybe it is the romantic notion of seasonal food dishes. Other times it is a journey into another place and time. Instead of arm chair traveling, how about dinner table cultural odysseys? You do the best you can with the knowledge you have. And everyone has a good time.

If your goal is exotic cuisine, or simply rearranging the food at hand, this approach to food is fun. Cooking outside the book, the cookbook, this is the best!
