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!

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.

more than bread
I'm building my own wood fired clay oven. love all these recipes, make me hungry just looking at all the pictures. I make the salt encased potatoes last night on my gas grill. Moist and not dried out. Wonderful!

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.

Old Days New Again
So many interesting and delicious meal ideas cooking the old fashioned way. It is like a wood fire cooking instruction manual for a simpler way of life. You can cook for a few guests or for the whole family with the distinct flavor of wood in every meal. Be adventurous and give wood fire cooking an honest effort and you will be amazed with the results. I highly recommend this book for those that enjoy food over open flame or those that want to take a break from the fast paced life and create awesome masterpieces.

Good buy.
Contains a lot of helpful tips and some nice recipes. Some conversions required for those in the UK as it quotes American measures and oven temperatures.
