Description

Wood-fired ovens can be found around the world wherever there is access to wood, and although shape and building materials may vary the thing they have in common is how efficiently they produce and retain heat. It is easy to see why wood-fired ovens have survived, virtually unchanged, for centuries; once you've cooked in one you too will be converted to this elemental method of cooking with fire. , The wood-fired oven is capable of cooking just about anything, but the amazing thing about it is how perfectly it cooks not only stone-baked pizzas and breads, but also sizzling meat, tender seafood, slow- cooked, smokey casseroles, and even beautifully moist cakes and desserts. , This book covers every aspect of cooking in a wood-fired oven, with advice on where to site and construct your oven and instructions on how to season it, light your first fire, and control and maintain cooking heat. The recipes are all specially devised for the oven, and come with step-by-step instructions and photographs. A special chapter contains irresistible pizzas with innovative toppings such as artichoke hearts, Parma ham and basil pesto or caramelized shallot and feta. Once you have perfected your pizzas you will want to use your fired-up oven to cook amazing dishes like fish soup with aioli, jerk chicken, bistecca Fiorentina and marinated pork ribs. The chapter on breads is a revelation, and the wonderful loaves that you bake on the oven floor will convert you to home-made sourdough, ciabatta and naan breads forever. Even desserts and cakes can be successfully created in the wood-fired oven, and in the final chapter you will find tempting recipes for plum and blackberry crumble, meringues, chocolate brownies, and a rich fruit cake. , Throughout the book, authors Holly and David Jones give helpful advice and tips on how to make the most of your oven, utilizing the falling heat of an oven fired up for pizzas, for example, to slow cook a meltingly tender casserole for the next day, or even using the oven overnight to roast tomatoes for breakfast the next morning. Whether you want your oven to become a pizza party sensation, the centre of family cookout weekends or your new outdoor kitchen, this book will inspire and delight you. , , , , Read more

  • Looks good to a true beginner...
Format: Hardcover
I am nearing completion of a brick wood-fired oven in our back yard. This is the first cookbook I have ordered - although I plan to order others. When I received it, my wife spent a great deal of time reading through it. So several days passed before I was able to review. It is rather nicely laid out - with some recipes that are rather simple and some a little complex. It really seems like there is something for everyone. There are also guidelines on timing the different tasks for a gathering - which I think could be very useful. There is also plenty of content to inspire my imagination. I'm really looking forward to finishing my oven and trying some of these recipes. I commit to updating this review after actually making some of these recipes in our new oven. UPDATE: After using this book and our wood-fired oven for 2.5 years now, I had to be reminded to come back and update this review by the comment below. So yes, this book is fantastic....chock-full of useful information. It doesn't answer every question but it answers many of them. The recipes are great - we have tried many of them - and have also developed our own variations, of course. We do have other books but none of the others are wood-fired oven specific - and therefore not as useful. And after using the oven now for a couple of years, we are well past the learning curve (which this book really helped with), but even so, I am glad to have this book - and keep it in our kitchen full-time. ... show more

  • Fantastic reference for what to make in your own wood-fired oven
Format: Hardcover
This is a great cookbook to read and just drool over. It should be one of the first cookbooks you get to accompany the book "Build Your Own Earth Oven." Beautiful pictures and recipes that are easy to follow. All ingredients are easily obtained and the results look to be mouth-wateringly good. And the cooking is not limited to just pizzas, breads and stews. The 70 recipes cover the gamut of cooking forms. Don't have my own wood-fired oven but have lined the bottom of the gas stove with oven tiles from Sassafras. Though you don't get that 'wood smoke' tang to the breads, the crust is incredible compared to that of regular baking, and the temperature I obtained were beyond the gas range level of 550F (probably because the tiles retain and hold the heat better). I can't wait to build my own horno or earth oven out on the yard and do actual wood-fired cooking. ... show more

  • Great basic information on Wood Fire Pizzas and Other Treats
Format: Hardcover
I liked the basic introduction, the discussion of wood, the basics of a pizza oven and so on. I think that it was a bit disappointing that the cookbook has so many "fancy" recipes that require odd ingredients and so on. I much would have preferred a straight-forward "meat and potato's" book as opposed to fancy Euro style meals and so on. It's got some good basic recipes, and some nice Pizza's, but at least 50% of the recipes are exotic. ... show more

  • Perfect book for entertaining
Format: Hardcover
Having bought a few cookbooks for wood oven cooking, I can honestly say this is one of the best. It has really good recipescovering pizzas, meat, poultry and fish. Great photos and great range of recipes. Even has suggestions for every occasion. There's a little bit at the start on wood oven cooking techniques, but it doesn't take over from what you really want, which are really great ideas for cooking a great variety of meals. If you want a book that focuses on cooking technique, the history of wood-fired cooking or just pizzas, then this book is not for you. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, well presented and useful cookbook to suit nearly any occasion, then buying this book is a must. Would make an excellent gift as well! ... show more

  • Beautiful Book
Format: Hardcover
I call this a coffee table book. The pictures are lovely. I honestly haven't made a lot of recipes from this book but they all look delicious.

  • Perfect
Format: Hardcover
This was exactly what I wanted. As the proud (and totally ignorant) owner of a new outdoor wood-fired oven, I was anxious not just to find recipes for things I can cook in it, but also the HOW to do it with wood. This book has all the info needed to get yourself started from scratch, with beautiful color pictures of everything, and a nice forward with a brief history of wood ovens. It also makes a great coffee-table book - guests love looking through it. The only downside I can think of is the recipes included for cakes. It's that stone-baked smokey touch that gives the food its great flavor and I just don't think cakes need that - only in the event of a permanent power cut (the way the economy is going, could happen.....) ... show more

  • Too Fussy!
Format: Hardcover
Personally , the recipes were too fussy for an outside oven! I will order the Cookbook that focuses on just pizzas.

  • This is a steal! It's contains beautiful photos and doable recipes.
Format: Hardcover
We have a wood fired oven and a couple of books purchased from Amazon.com based on good reviews. This particular book, however, was purchased without any prior review and it simply is the best purchase of all the wood-fired oven recipe books we've purchased. 70 recipes doesn't seem like a lot. However, the recipes seem doable as the ingredients are not so exotic and we can readily buy them at local stores. The photography is simply beautiful. I'm speaking as a former part-time photographer and someone who appreciate good photography. The book contains more than just recipes. It has historical information and info on wood-fired ovens. If you are new owner of wood-fired oven and wonder what to cook so that you don't waste a lot of residual heat after making your pizzas, this book probably would be of help with its incredibly helpful preparation suggestions (with timelines) for different types of meals. At this price, this book is a steal! As frugal as we are, we'd be happy to pay more for this book! Kudos to the authors and publisher!! ... show more
