The title of this pizza says
it all really... I’M GETTING MARRIED! :D (can you tell I’m excited?!) Come 29th
April at 7.30pm at The Roman Baths in Bath, I’ll be saying my vows J I wanted to mark this
occasion in the only way I know how – with a pizza recipe! Deciding exactly
what to put on it was a challenge though – do I somehow recreate our three-tier
wedding cake? What about the free-flowing prosecco at the reception? And don’t
get me started on our sumptuous wedding breakfast J In the end, I decided to do a
bit of a mash-up of our main course. Whilst the meat eaters get to tuck into
some pork with apple cider sauce (a dish that is quintessentially Simon!), the
veggies get to enjoy roasted red pepper and courgette tart with pesto and
sundried tomatoes (something that’s right up my street!). So this pizza really
is a union of two very different ends of the spectrum – and yet something which
really works – is there a more perfect way to epitomise my relationship with
Simon?!
