Gourmet Pizza Dinner:

Ruth served as pizza chef at Amorina in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, for 4 years before moving on to Balthazar Bakery and then to Pulino's in Soho. If you line up all the pizzas she’s made in her professional life, they would stretch from here to Florida! Aside from restaurant work, she has also worked as an editor at both The Magazine of La Cucina Italiana and Food Network Magazine.

Dinner will include gourmet pizzas, salad and homemade gelato for dessert. Ruth will bring all ingredients and equipment to the winner's house and cook in their oven. Think freshest seasonal ingredients like spicy kale and soppressata, baby artichokes with mint pesto, sweet corn with pancetta and arugula. Ruth will work with the winner to create a custom menu using their favorite ingredients. Vegetables from farmer's market when possible, meats and cheese from Arthur Avenue. Whole wheat crust optional (though not gluten free). (Dinner to start at 8:00 p.m. or later – post-kid-bedtime.)
