Our caramelized fig and goat cheese pizza is creamy crunchy and fruity. It is garnished with fresh strawberries and a balsamic vinegar glaze. Truly sublime!

Have you ever met a foodie? I mean a real foodie. Someone who is really into food. Someone who enjoys every aspect of it, wants to learn everything about it, reads about it and is always looking for the perfect bite?

I have. My sister in law, Hope.

Hope has traveled all over the world and experienced all kinds of different cuisines. And even though she’s a vegetarian, I would say she’s also a pretty adventurous eater. Not only she loves ethnic food, she loves to cook it as well.

Watching her in the kitchen is a totally zen experience. Never rushed, always meticulous, and carefully selecting ingredients to achieve perfection. It’s like watching an artist in the process of creating a masterpiece, the perfect bite.

I love to see her in the kitchen with my daughter Raquel. The two of them together come up with the coolest dishes. A couple of weeks ago, I came home to a delicious pizza made with caramelized figs. A perfect combination of sweet and savory. So creative! You should have seen them enjoying their creation . They were both so proud of themselves. And rightfully so!

Inspired by that creative idea, we came up with this recipe. "Foodie approved" 🙂

Enjoy!
