Bruges is magical. A fairy tale village with beautiful architecture, cobbled streets, large squares and a series of canals which crisscross it. While in Brussels with work earlier this year I decided to take a day trip to Bruges. It’s just over an hour away on the train and well worth the trip.

I was sitting at home on a hung over Saturday thinking about what to have for dinner that evening. Usually if I’m hung over its Chinese or Dominos on the cards. In an effort to not choose the easy option of picking up the phone and ringing someone to bring me food I decided to make some perfectly simple homemade pizza. Continue reading
