This second CPK book expands on the first by offering recipes of their newer pizzas, salads, appetizers, panini, and other specialties. Even better ... recipes for items not on their menu including several "desert pizzas".

The recipes are easy to follow, they highlight when special equipment is needed so you know to have it on hand, and often list various ways to serve the item. Additionally, at the beginning of the book they define some of the equipment needed, safety tips, the basics of making pizza dough including traditional, Neapolitan (thin), and honey-wheat recipes.

My mouth waters every time I read through it!
