Dear Ben,

Thank you very much for your letter. You ask me to tell you about my favourite dish. Well, my favourite dish number one is pizza. I know it's junk food, but I like it. Pizza is considered to be an Italian dish, though the name comes from Greek. The Greek word 'pita' means - 'a pie.' Pizza is the first fantastic delicious dish which all foreigners visiting Italy are eager to taste. Real Italian pizza! What can be better? There are a lot of different kinds of pizza in many bars, cafes and restaurants and sometimes it's difficult to choose the best. They all have different top fillings on which the taste of pizza depends. I like pizza Margarita, Pepperoni with mushrooms and the firm pizza Venecia. Usually, we buy pizza ready-made, but sometimes my Mum and I cook it at home. Here is our recipe: Prepare the pizza dough (according to your favourite recipe). Roll the dough, brush it with olive oil. Mix sour cream with lemon juice and dill. Put it on a thin layer of dough. Put the red onion, cut into half rings. Cut smoked salmon into thin slices and put it on top of onions. Spread capers (if you have some) overall the pizza and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!!! What about your favourite dish? Email soon.

Best wishes,

Artyom
