Hi Everyone, Welcome to 2015!! We’re still here and are looking forward to a big year on Pizza Quest.  The site repairs and renovation, which have prevented us from posting photos and videos, are still ongoing, but I plan to keep posting words as I uncover new and interesting things. For instance, I’m heading to Philadelphia next week for the annual Philly Chef’s Conference, where I’ll be speaking and leading…Read More…

Hi Folks, Sorry we’ve been absent for a while. The site has been down for repairs and it’s still undergoing a makeover but we hope to be back soon with more postings. Hang in there with us and have a wonderful holiday season!  See you all here again soon…. Best Wishes, Peter

Hi Folks, An Amazon reviewer found a typo in one of the recipes, found on page 63.  The water amount by weight is correct but the volume measurement should be 1 3/4 cups, not 3 3/4 cups!  If you already have the book, please make that correction. Sorry about that. We’ll get it fixed for the next printing.  Thanks!  

  Hi Everyone, On Oct. 21st my new book, two years in the making, will at last be available.  The following is an interview I did with myself in order to give an overview and provide background on the book.  I won’t be selling these directly, but encourage you to support your local book store or, if you prefer, purchase it online.  I’ll be at King Arthur Flour’s Baking School…Read More…

Just a quick announcement to let you know that on Oct. 21st my latest book will be released. I’ll post a Q&A about the book on the 21st, so please check back then for that. Last week, I did a fun teleconference with PMQ Magazine (aka Pizza Marketing Quarterly) as part of their “Think Tank” section.  It aired live via Skype but I believe it will also soon be posted…Read More…

Note from Peter: Liz Barrett is the Editor at Large for PMQ Pizza Magazine, one of the world’s major sources of all things having to do with pizza. Her new book just came out and Liz agreed to answer a few questions for us.  I wanted to post some of the photos from the book, including its great cover shot, but our technical problems are preventing that for now, so…Read More…

Hi Everyone, I’m on my way to Chicago for the bi-annual WheatStalk Conference, our version of Woodstock, where 250 serious “bread-heads” gather for workshops, lectures, demo’s and all things bread. I’ll be leading a wood-fired pizza workshop.  Lots of fun!!!  I’ll blog about it right here when I get back. (And I’m sure at least one pizza quest adventure awaits us in the Windy City — not yet sure where…Read More…

Hi Everyone, We have a new posting from Brad coming soon, all about a killer Lamb Merguez sausage pizza that he came up with in his Primavera 60. However, we’re having some technical issues with our photo posting service. As soon as we clear that up, we’ll post it. Also, I have an interview coming up with Liz Barrett, Editor at Large and writer for PMQ Magazine (Pizza Marketing Quarterly)…Read More…

I first saw Robin Williams perform about a year before his career took off, when he was doing stand up in San Francisco, where I lived at the time. I was about 28 years old and I went to a comedy club, called The Boarding House, with a friend, having heard rumors of this hot new comic. About ten minutes into his frenetic routine my friend and I looked at…Read More…

Hi Again, I’m about to head out with my wife SUsan for some long-awaited R&R, so will just post a quick one today and do a more substantial posting when I get back. I want to tell you then all about The Kneading Conference that I just attended in Skowhegan, Maine, a true fantasy camp for serious bread-heads, but still need to gather my photos and collect my thoughts. I…Read More…
