This is a beautifully produced tribute to a neglected subject. The instructions are interesting and easy enough and it’s hard not to run to the hearth and play while reading this. One of my favorite books of the year!

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.

Very Informative Book about wood fired cooking that includes source information about suppliers of related products, characteristics of various fire woods, and many unique recipes. As a new owner of a wood fired oven it’s a great reference.
