On Food 101, we have a special request from Angela, who’s planning an unforgettable birthday party! Chef Alessandro has excellent menu suggestions to ensure the event is both delicious and memorable. For pizza, Alessandro advises using fresh, quality ingredients and preparing a dough that’s light yet crispy—perfecting your dough’s rise and temperature is key to pizza perfection. For the charcuterie board, balance is essential; Alessandro recommends combining savory cured meats, creamy cheeses, fresh fruits, and flavorful accompaniments to create harmony and variety for guests. Finally, tiramisu will make a delightful dessert, and Chef Alessandro suggests using authentic mascarpone cheese, freshly brewed espresso, and allowing enough refrigeration time to enhance its rich, creamy texture. With these expert tips, Angela’s birthday menu will undoubtedly impress all her guests!
