The Pizza Fest

It's September 2008 and I am at the world pizza festival in Naples, Italy. I've always loved Italian food. When I was a child, I used to make pizza and other Italian dishes for my family, and now I work as a chef in an Italian restaurant in New York. In my opinion, nobody cooks as well as the Italians, and many people think that the people in Naples make pizzas better than anyone else in the world. So what happens at the festival? There is music and dancing and of course lots of pizza eating. You can have your own favourite pizza created for you, or if you want to, you can go to a workshop and learn how to make it yourself.

Yesterday, I asked a restaurant owner to explain the history of pizza. He told me that the people of Naples made the first pizza. He said that although flat bread is thousands of years old, people didn't use to put ingredients on bread until the 19th century. Eventually, somebody made a topping that consisted of tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and basil, ingredients with the colours of the Italian flag, and called it 'Margherita', after the Queen of Italy.
