maltatoday, WEDNESDAY, 15 FEBRUARY 2017 14 Food Homemade bread that doubles as a pizza base The smell of fresh bread wafting through the kitchen is one of life's little pleasures. On Gourmet Today TV last week, Michael Diacono made some foolproof, homemade focaccia that he flavours with olives and rosemary. In his second recipe he uses the same bread dough to make a family favourite of his, pizza with minced lamb and ricotta. Don't miss Gourmet Today TV, every Saturday at 16:05 on TVM Olive and rosemary focaccia Homemade pizza with minced lamb and ricotta COMING UP THIS WEEK This week Marilu Vella joins Michael Diacono to see what ideas he has for a fish that has grown in popularity over the years – salmon. Michael makes two great recipes using this fish. This first is a pasta dish we normally associate with cream. No cream in sight here, he pairs the salmon with apple and walnuts for an impressive pasta sauce. In his second recipe he makes an Asian style broth with egg noodles and chunks of fresh salmon.
