Easier than Easy Peppadew Pizza

You might think that here at Pizzas and Stuff we are couch potatoes who just sit in front of our iPads all day, waiting for our next pizza to be delivered.


Well that's only partly true. Occasionally, we believe it is within our remit to also show that it is actually possible to make your own pizza from scratch.

And how nice they can be when you do!

Here's Stacey, from our good friends over at Peppadew UK showing us how we can make "Easier than Easy Peppadew Pizza"



And if that whetted your tastebuds and you fancy some dessert then take a look at Stacey making Peppadew cheesecake

Local Domino's Pizza Manager Wins Global Award


Out of 9,000 Domino’s pizza shop managers in 60 countries, Steve Cubitt has been crowned the best.......(Read the story from The Manchester Evening News)

Well done Steve.

Although I don't know you personally I was honoured to be present at the Rally in Las Vegas celebrating Domino's Pizza's 50th Annversary when your award was announced.

They showed a video biography which demonstrated your passion to be the best and to strive to improve continually. It made me proud to be a Dominoid!

You are doing a great job in All Saints.

Keep it up!


How to Deal With Negative Online Customer Feedback About Your Pizza Shop - Two Contrasting Approaches

Joel Latondress, an IT worker who writes a recipe blog and likes to dine out, ordered a margherita pizza at Amy's Baking Company in Scottsdale on Saturday night.


After he left a review about it in Yelp, the online review site, he was rather surprised at the response he got from the Pizza Shop Owner Amy - (although it has now been removed due to the amount of interest from the media, you can still read the other posts).

Read the story here (Case Study A)

For what its worth, my opinion is that if you want to operate a business these days you have to appreciate the power of the customer to give feedback that is instantly available to the whole World, and you should learn to turn it to your advantage in the way that Chicago Domino's Pizza Franchisee Ramon deLeon did in 2009 (Case Study B)

Read how he turned a negative online review into such a positive outcome here (a Blogpost that has been linked to over 3,000 times!) and watch the famous video apology (seen over 15,000 times!)

I'll leave it up to you to decide the best way to respond to customer feedback

Oh, and just to show you how seriously I take Customer Service, we had the opportunity last year to ourselves "go the extra mile" and resolve a complaint using Social Media.

Enjoy!

Weightwatchers Rhubarb and Raspberry Crumble

Weightwatchers Rhubarb and Raspberry Crumble
This year we have been experimenting with growing our own fruit and vegetables on a very small scale, and we today we finally had enough rhubarb stalks to do something with.

As both me and Mrs PizzasandStuff are on permanent diets we hunted down a recipe for a reduced-fat crumble and soon came across the one below on the WeightWatchers website, which is a great resource whether you follow their diet or not.

At the time of writing we are just waiting to pop into the oven, so I will report back later on it's taste! We haven't split into individual ramekins as there are 4 hungry people waiting to gobble it up!


Update 1 hour later

Grandson No1 described it as like a Haribo Tangfastic, which we deem to be a positive. Perhaps a touch less ginger and a little more sweetener.

rhubarb and custard

Cut 450g rhubarb into long sticks. Pop into a saucepan and add a tablespoon of water. Sweeten to taste with 4 tsp of artificial sweetener. Cook until tender.

Divide between four ramekins and top each with 1 tbsp raspberries and a sprinkling of finely chopped fresh root ginger.

Mix together 75g oats, 25g plain flour and 15g flaked almonds. Stir in 3tbsp of vegetable oil. Sprinkle over the crumble then cook in a preheated 180°C / fan oven 160°C / Gas Mark 4 for 30 minutes.

Cool and freeze. Serve with natural low fat yogurt.

2½ POINTS values per portion, without yogurt
