Zach And Zerlina Learn How To Make The Best Pizza In The World

Start your kids on their way to a love of cooking with this exciting children’s storybook cookbook wrapped around Chef Giovanni’s pizza recipe. The story is depicted through delightful photographs of a girl and boy, Chef Giovanni, Mom, pizza pies and more, including snaps of the kids in white aprons and chef hats working in a real pizzeria. The recipe is geared toward children, makes 4 to 6 personal pizzas, and can be baked in a toaster oven or conventional oven. A vegan and vegetarian option is included, along with lots of pizza secrets and tips, and a liquid and dry measurement chart.

The story begins when Zach’s cousin Zerlina comes for a weeklong visit and she lets it slip out that her father’s pizzeria isn’t doing well. She thinks it’s because his pizza doesn’t taste very good, which she overheard a customer say. Zach springs into action as he tries to enlist Chef Giovanni from his favorite pizza place to teach them his recipe. Chef G is willing to help but obstacles keep popping up, like when he gets an order for 100 pizzas. The kids volunteer to help. The story is filled with amusing twists and turns, as they race against the clock to learn the recipe before Zerlina has to return home.
