Getting feedback on recipes and pairings is always exciting. It helps me know things are working, and has provided great information for future recipes. But inspiring others to do their own recipes and parings in much more rewarding. I am thrilled to highlight the communities recipes and pairing for you all.
Gabi’s Garlic, Spinach & Mushroom Pizza
I love a white pizza, especially when made with fresh ingredients, including garlic and olive oil…Talk about perfection on a plate. It is genuinely excellent all on its own, but I wanted to elevate the flavors a little more by adding some other favorite ingredients: caramelized mushrooms and spinach. It just doesn’t get any better than this. Pair with your favorite dry riesling!
