The Sunday Pie: Meatballs and Ricotta

A few months ago I came across an article about an outdoor cookware company looking to contract a small group of bakers and home cooks to become “Official Pizza Taste Testers”. And if there is one thing I’m good at, it’s eating pizza. So I applied along with over 5,000 other people. Fast forward a few months and I get notified that I was officially selected. A years-long obsession with being able to make proper wood fired pizzas became a reality. It’s an unusual opportunity but one that I’m excited to explore. So over the course of the next few months I’ll be developing and testing recipes, and making short videos about the process - some of which you can find over at @oonihq. This first video is an homage to my family of Sicilian immigrants and to the women who orchestrated our Sunday suppers.
