Wood-Fired Cooking by Mary Karlin

Wood-Fired Cooking by Mary Karlin

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, WOD-FIRED COKING will have you stoking appetites in no time.

MARY KARLIN is a cook, a cooking instructor, a cookbook author, and a freelance food writer with a passion for food. For more than 10 years, she has taught wood-fired culinary, cheese making, fermentation, and Mediterranean-themed cooking programs at the award-winning Ramekins Culinary School in Sonoma, CA. Mary also teaches at The Fork at Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese in Point Reyes, CA, and The Cheese Academy of San Francisco, among other prestigious culinary institutions across the country.
