A Taste of Cositutti
Cositutti invites you to a unique Summertime Event . . .
il fuoco vivo . . . the " life of the fire" to taste and enjoy authentic wood fired pizza prepared by Forno de Pizza.
Just as in Italy, fresh dough slides onto the long handled peel and into the mouth of the oven where the wood has burned down to glowing embers and in a few minutes the life of the fire transforms the simplest of ingredients into a culinary masterpiece to be shared with your family and friends.
Come and spend an evening on the grounds of a Franciscan Monastery in the countryside to experience the "life of the fire" Italian style.
Saturday August 8th from 5-8 pm at the Lourdes Friary
12915 Parrish Street in Cedar Lake, Indiana.

Wood Fired Pizza 
The technique of cooking with wood fired ovens is centuries old. In Italy the ancient Etruscans pounded grain into mash and baked it on stones buried in the ashes, creating a smoky tasting flatbread, the prototype for today's pizza.
In Italy, pizza prepartion still remains simple. The dough is made only with flour, yeast, salt and water, punched down and shaped by hand and cooked in an extremely hot wood-fired stone oven for only a few minutes. Dressed simply with tomato, olive oil, oregano and garlic or Margherita style with tomato, olive oil, fresh basil leaves and mozzarella cheese, it still remains one of the treasures of the Italian table. |
