Chicken curry Pizza: A perfect day for Donna's Pizza

Chicken Curried Mango and Mozzarella Pizza

I am one of the few people that doesn't like pizza. For simple reason that its too good yet lavishly rich in calories. Not that I'm concerned with my weight but I feel guilty everytime I'm indulging this italian pie that has been internationally embraced as their own. Anywhere we go we'll definitely find pizza with the local flavor of its own.

When I have learned that Joey, of 80 Breakfasts is hosting the 17th edition of HHDD (Hay Hay its Donna Day) with pizza as a theme; I was really excited to join. Not only because I wanted to show my own "pizzanality" but simply because I was never familiar with Donna Hay. (I know where on earth did I come from :-) ) I have been hearing a lot good reviews about her, her foodstyling and her recipes. But never had really the opportunity to try. And now is the time I try it myself. A perfect day for Dhanggit to try Donna's Pizza.

Care for a bite?
