Is goat cheese good for pizza?

Goat cheese is great on pizza, as it has a tangy, tart flavour that holds its own. That said, it can be an acquired taste due to its sourness. If you’d like a more mellow goats cheese to start off with, try a fresh chevre as this has the mildest flavour.

Should I cook my onions before putting on pizza?

While you can toss raw onions onto a pizza, cooking them first allows you to soften them and caramelise their natural sugars. This results in a greater depth of flavour that works well with a range of pizza styles.

How to cook pumpkin for pizza?

There are a few ways you can cook pumpkin for pizza, but our favourite is char grilled or roasted for the best flavour. To char grill, cut your pumpkin into slices, coat with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Pop them on a preheated griddle or BBQ, cooking them until tender but not falling apart. Let them cool then add to your pizza for a tasty dinner!
