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

  • Beautiful
This book provides the perfect combo of recipes and equipment needed for multiple forms of open fire cooking. Also provides charts and large, beautiful colored pictures. An excellent guide for all forms if openfire cooking techniques.

  • I read cookbooks
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

  • More Than Enough
Mary Karlin's Wood Fired Cooking is a well-llustrated, robust collection of recipes and suggestions for cooking in a wood fired oven. As one who is interested mainly in pizza I cannot comment intelligently on other recipes, but the pizza dough looks worthwhile, and I will be trying it. For a book on wood fired ovens, more information on baking pizza would have been helpful, particularly in distinguishing it from baking bread. Otherwise, the time and temperature suggestions for pizza are appreciated. My only wish is that recipes list ingredients in terms of weight rather than volume, using metric measures. OK, one last wish: use baker's percentages. Overall, a fine book to add to one's collection on either pizza or wood-fired ovens. ... show more

  • Excellent resource if you like to cook with fire
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
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
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.

  • Very interesting book
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.
