We basked in shared memories of doilies, doilies on couch backs and armrests (often held in place by stick pins!), crochet towel toppers that buttoned around oven handles, hankies with crocheted...

This fresh, homemade pizza is topped with courgette noodles, rocket and soft goat cheese.

Recipe and words: Michael Van de Elzen Serves: 8 Time: 1 hour This pizza reminds me of the old school deep-pan pizzas. I cook them in a shallow pizza tray, but feel free to use a frying pan.
