About this ebook

This guide to using an outdoor oven “skillfully guides the reader” with photos, directions, and recipes for everything from pizza to poultry (Alice Waters).
 
Andrea Mugnaini has spent over twenty years perfecting the craft of wood-fired cooking. A pioneer of the industry, she founded the first cooking school dedicated to wood-fired cooking—and her oven importing company has brought the Italian style of cooking and living to America.
 
The Art of Wood-Fired Cooking begins with detailed instructional information on the ins and outs of the wood-burning oven. Mugnaini reveals the methods she has been teaching through her classes—and shares delicious recipes for pizzas, breads, fish, poultry, meats, vegetables, pastas, and desserts. Fire up the oven and enjoy:
  • Butterflied Shrimp
  • Zucchini Gratin with Tomatoes and Gruyere
  • Tuscan-Style Pot Roast with Herbs and Chianti
  • Focaccia with Onions and Thyme
  • Limoncello Bread Pudding with Fresh Blackberries

A gifted chef and visionary entrepreneur, Andrea Mugnaini has provided us with an exceptional resource for those of us lucky enough to have discovered the joys of wood fired cooking. I have watched her in her culinary school and her love for these magnificent ovens is clearly evident as she elevates something as primal as wood and fire and food to a delectable art form. You will benefit from the years of wisdom compressed into this beautiful book and, if you don't already own a Mugnaini Oven, will be tantalized to the point where investing in one for yourself is the only sensible choice. It happened to me and I love my oven and the food it produces!
