I have since orderd another wood fired oven cooking book. I was expecting the ultimate book on Wood Fired Oven, as the books title says. I was very disapointed, very few recipes, sorry this book did not do it for me. If you already have a wood fired oven and just want good wood fired cooking ideas and want to be inspired, this is not the book for you. Anyway it's in my cooking book collection now.
I highly recommend it. I gave this book five stars because this is just the type of book that clearly illustrates how to become a master at the wood-fired oven while also taking you on a lovely journey through Italy. I love cooking, baking and working in the yard and when I discovered this fabulous book, I knew I had found a wonderful new friend. Also it is well written with beautiful pictures, and until you have eaten pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven, you haven't had pizza. The Ultimate Wood-Fired Oven Book It also makes a wonderful gift for friends.
I quickly befriended the staff and was introduced to the kitchen which used an ancient wood burning oven that had been in service since the 13 century. Food prepared in the oven tastes incredible. While searching for information regarding wood burning ovens I had the good fortune to happened upon Los Angeles Ovenworks website and was soon having friendly conversations with Anna and Peter Carpenter regarding my quest to acquire a genuine Italian Wood Burning Oven. One evening the local Pizza Chef was summoned to prepare dinner for our group.
Anna's Book is by far the most comprehensive wood burning oven guide on the market. After that experience I decided that I had to have my own wood burning oven. I took several photos of the installation and was proud to have photos of my oven appear in the book. Peter delivered it to my home and gave me a few tips prior to installation. I was honored to be of assistance. Summer before last my wife and I had the good fortune of spending a week in an Italian Castle located in Giove Italy.
He produced the best tasting pizzas in that wood fired oven that I had ever tasted. Anna and Peter are very nice folks with a vast knowledge of all things culinary and construction regarding ovens. I love my oven and enjoy how it naturally brings family and friends together to experience an unbelievable interactive backyard cooking experience. One day Anna called and said she was putting together a book on wood burning ovens and asked if I could provide a few photos of my installation. During our stay we ate many incredible meals prepared by the fire of that ancient oven. One thing led to another and I purchased a MDL 100 Toscana oven.
Buy the Book, you will find it a most useful resource. Over the next few weeks I completed my installation of the oven with the help of Anna and Peter as support.
This book has given me some delightful hours day-dreaming about building my own wood fired oven. Thank you for having written the book. I have tried some of the recipes in my own kitchen and they came out surprisingly tasty.
we love this book. it has amazing photos, recipes & a feeling that you can create that tuscany feeling right at home.
