Description

The modern guide to cooking at home using a wood fire, with more than 100 diverse recipes.This contemporary collection of recipes from chef-instructor Mary Karlin covers the range of wood-fired cooking options available to home cooks. From flame-licked Plank-Roasted Porterhouse or Grilled Naan to a hearth-baked Milanese Risotto, Leek, and Asparagus Tart or Warm Chocolate- Chipotle Cakes, Karlin's unassuming yet refined kitchen sensibility shines through in every dish. With a vast knowledge of terrific ingredients, the diverse flavor characteristics of hardwoods, and the best live-fire techniques and equipment now available, Karlin is a passionate advocate for this growing trend. Her globally inspired Indian, Italian, Mediterranean, American, and North African recipes for cooking over live flame and embers are paired with contributions from Peter Reinhart, Bruce Aidells, Deborah Madison, and other fired-up chefs. Whether you're a seasoned barbecue expert or you just bought your first bag of lump charcoal, WOOD-FIRED COOKING will have you stoking appetites in no time. Read more

  • I read cookbooks
Format: Hardcover
I attended culinary school and have worked professionally in the culinary field. This book got me excited with each recipe. That doesn't happen too often. I also like how the author breaks down the different properties of woods for both cooking and smoking, and explores the different methods of wood-fire cooking. Confession: I bought the book as a gift for a friend, but couldn't help read it first myself! ... show more

  • Excellent resource if you like to cook with fire
Format: Hardcover
This book is a great tool to help you learn to cook with open flame. If you have no interest in this then do not buy it but if you need to polish up on the technique or want some good recipes then I would get it.... Wait I did get it... You should get it too.

  • recipes for food and wood
Format: Hardcover
The recipes are excellent, but what I liked most is the chapter on wood. The fuel, the wood you cook with gives off different flavours and burns at different temperatures. I've not seen any other outdoor cookbooks that are so comprehensive.

  • Not exactly what you think
Format: Kindle
I was looking for a cookbook to use for recipes in the fireplace, this book seemed to be what I was looking for, but I was wrong. For a lot of the recipes she recommends covering the pot etc tightly, if you're going to do do that you might as well cook it in the oven. But the recipes do look tasty.

  • more than bread
Format: Hardcover
I'm building my own wood fired clay oven. love all these recipes, make me hungry just looking at all the pictures. I make the salt encased potatoes last night on my gas grill. Moist and not dried out. Wonderful!

  • Very interesting book
Format: Hardcover
Even if I never finish building my backyard oven, this is an interesting read. If I do finish it (and that is the plan), I will use this book to help my understanding of how a backyard oven works.
