Mozza Pizzeria


Mozza Pizzeria


Lunch yesterday with Sis was at one of our favorite pizzerias, Mozza  www.mozza-la.com We were on our way to the LA flower market and decieded we would have lunch. At the same time we said Mozza, we looked at the time and it was 11:45, perfect time to go without reservations, if your there by 12 noon when they open up you have a good chance to get a seat at the pizza bar, we were lucky as there was only 8 people lineded up to get in when we first arrived but by the time the doors open there were over 20.

The food is outstanding, the pizza is the best in LA. Look at there menu there is a great line up of different pizzas. We lunched on a chopped salad of fresh greens, lightly tossed with salami and provolone cheese and a wonderful oil and vinager dressing, along with the margareta pizza. All I can say is YUMMY.

Do yourself a favor if you love pizza try it, there is three month wait to get in but if your there at 12 and 6 pm you will enjoy one of the two bars....

Tomato and Pepper Salad



 Tomato and Pepper Salad



This salad and the baby back ribs were dinner last night. I served them with a round loaf of French bread (perfect to soak up the juice of the salad) along with a custard tart Sis made (she is sending the recipe to share). After dinner we enjoyed chilled glasses of my favorite Villa Carlotti Prosecco.


This dish was a end of summer regular in my house as a child, my father called it Salada and would make it a few  times a week when our garden was in full harvest. It's delicious and easy to make......

Spare ribs


Spare Ribs
This is one of my favorite ways of making ribs since I don't have a grill, (yes, no grill). And even when I had one I still made them this way, so give them a try and if you want to use the grill you can at the end......
