TODAY on MHTV:I’m going to show you the simplest, tastiest, easiest-to-manage pizza dough ever. Then comes the really fun part — DIY toppings! You could make my personal favorites,pizza margherita and escarole pizza, or invent your own. On the side, I’m making a light arugula salad with shaved Parmesan. And for dessert, pizza frizza, a sugary fried-dough treat. More from the show.

    Lucinda,

    I made your nachos, guacamole, and John Contratti’s cheese and pepperoni beer friend for football Sunday. My family went crazy over it. You guys have the best recipes.

    Help!
    Want to try the Mango Chutney from the show with the Jamaican food, but didn’t get to see the whole process and I can’t find the link to that show!
    Can anyone help?

    What kind of yeast do you use? I keep seeing “Pizza Dough Yeast” and didn’t know if I should be using that instead of active dry or rapid rise.

    i really love this show. lucinda is so approachable and makes meals that are easy enough for me to do while being just little challenging.

    i guess my only critique is i think she’s a funny woman with a sort of dry sense of humour and wish we saw that more often but i could be wrong.

    going to make this tonight.
