Anyone got Pete Evans cookbook "Pizza"?

[VieveMS]

Hi all, I am starting to think about christmas presents for my nieces and nephews and one idea I've had for my eldest nephew (15) is to put together a Pizza themed present (pizza stone, pizza cookbook, pizza sauce, jar with the ingredients for pizza dough, etc.).  He likes to cook and helps out by cooking dinner sometimes so I thought he might like something like this. 

Anyway, if I go down this path I was thinking about buying Pete Evans book "Pizza".  Has anyone got it?  If so, what do you think of it? 

Also, if anyone has any other favourite pizza themed cookbooks I'd love to hear about them.  Thanks

Have not got it, but it would be a great pressie

It's a great idea Vieve.  I don't know about Pete Evans book but this one from Theo has been mentioned on this forum before as being a good one.

I have the Theo one and love it. There is also a WW pizza book. I think Hally has that one.

Yes love the WW one

Thanks everyone. 

I saw the WW book yesterday and it does look good.  Haven't been able to track down Pete Evan's book yet - I'll keep trying as I'd like to take a look at it.  I will also head to Dymocks and have a look at Theo's book.

I love Theo's book.
It's a bit more out of the ordinary for a gift and great recipes

Agree. I've hinted about Theo 2 for Christmas.

I wasn't able to find a copy of Theo's original cookbook but his second one (Theo & Co Take 2: The Search for the Perfect Pizza Continues) was in a few shops including Big W.  I had a quick flick through it and although it looks good, I think I am better off getting my nephew a cookbook with more recipes & pictures and fewer words  .

I did buy Pete Evan's book.  There are some nice recipes in there - in fact so many of them appeal to me that I might even get another copy for myself.  I'll keep looking for Theo's first book too as it sounds like it would be a good addition to my cookbook collection.

It's probably a bit late VieveMS but i think Hally bought a Womens Weekly pizza book that looked good.

Thx Wonder.  I did see the WW Pizza book and was very tempted to get it as well.  Who knows, I might still buy it as it was very reasonably priced.

At $12.95 the WW pizza book is good value. Great hamper idea too.
