Homemade pizza as inspired by Bryn.
Though we are almost 7,000 kilometers apart, I cooked with my friend Bryn Friday night. Rather, I cooked with her in spirit. After a great phone conversation Friday afternoon, I took inspiration from the pizza dinner she had just made and created my own version of it.
Bryn and her husband Rob are both talented cooks and we’ve spent countless evenings in their Cincinnati kitchen. They are the kinds of cooks who have a fantastic garden, go to the farmer’s market on Saturday morning to stock up for the week and include you in on the final preparation work when you get to their house. Dinners with them are always inspiring, often elegant but never fussy and always good. We love going to Bryn and Rob’s. That’s why it was so good to read about what she was cooking on her new blog: writes 4 food.
Bryn made a pizza with prosciutto and arugula that sounded good to me. My take on it was to top a crust with a light coat of tomato sauce and lemon olive oil and then add whole slices of tomato, basil, chili and garlic. This was all topped with prosciutto, freshly grated parmesan and some feta cheese. And then I served arugula and olives on the side and we drank an Australian shiraz with it. It was good.
Cooking the pizza almost made me feel like I was back in Bryn’s kitchen. It was such a great way to reconnect with her.

I have just looked at the ‘writes 4 food’ blog. No doubt it is another blog I will have on my favourites to check daily. The Brie with sundried tomatoes is one I will be trying real soon. I love cheese!!
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Kylie, I will let Bryn know – she will appreciate the input!
Sandy! This looks fantastic! I SO loved catching up with you on Friday. You’re the BEST!
It was fantastic Bryn. Thanks for the inspiration!
