03 Know before you cook

Small details, better dinner.

Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.

Technique notes
  • Choose thick kettle chips that can hold the toppings without collapsing.
  • Drizzle in thin lines rather than coating every chip to protect the crunch.
Useful swaps
  • Use mortadella, salami, or marinated artichokes instead of prosciutto.
  • Pecorino or aged provolone can replace parmesan.
