The Art of Wood-Fired Cooking

The Art of Wood Fired Cooking is filled with instructional information on how to properly fire a pizza oven so anyone can create and enjoy mouthwatering wood fired dishes at home. Andrea Mugnaini shares the method of wood fired cooking she has perfected over the last twenty years for her cooking school, as well as many delightful recipes for pizzas, breads, fish, poultry, meats, vegetables, pastas, and desserts--all of which are absolutely delicious. Now you can fire up the oven and enjoy Wood-Roasted Butterflied Shrimp, Zucchini Gratin with Tomatoes and Fresh Savory, Tuscan Style Pot Roast with Herbs and Chianti, Focaccia with Onions and Thyme, and Limoncello Bread Pudding with Fresh Blackberries. When cooking with fire at home, the possibilities are endless! Andrea Mugnaini started Mugnaini Imports in 1989 to bring the Italian style of cooking and living to America through wood fired pizza oven sales. A pioneer of the industry, Andrea founded the first school dedicated to wood fired cooking. When she is not teaching or in the office, Andrea entertains crowds in the Sonoma Wine Country with her interactive cooking events.
