Building a Wood-Fired Oven for Bread and Pizza (English Kitchen)

Bread and pizza cooked in a woodfired oven have been such special delights in my life, I had often dreamed of builkding an oven to bake these foods at home!Oh, the work involved! I never dreamed it involved so much history and design! Fascinating! Just one problem.....no space!Ho hum....great book, great subject I enjoyed every page! Thanks!

All I can say is that this book is a must have if you plan on building an outdoor oven. I have a beautiful one and it is totally been used since it's completion in May. Not only is the book informative, it is also a very interesting read. Very well written

Many of these books don't give you enough info. This is one of them. I have a degree in design & I'm a fairly competent DIYer. It have taken multiple "books" like these to get all the info I need. To build it myself.

I would be making pizzas for the whole neighborhood if I only had the time, money, or the ability to read. But I do dream about it.

the book does not gives specifics i was looking for something more a do it yourself that had detailed plans

wonderful examination of the development of the public oven in Europe and how we can adapt those open hearths to our own backyard uses.

I expected a book that would show me how to build my pizza oven. Instead the book is more about the history of wood fired ovens with some diagrams and one chapter about building a very complicated oven that most homeowners won’t build. Maybe I should have read more of the description before I ordered.

Too much history and poor building instructions. Very cumbersome stove

I bought this as a present for a relative who wants to build a pizza oven in his garden. This turned out to be both a duplicate present and also not quite what was needed in content. Not enough information about building small ovens. I returned the book for a refund .

very good clear instuctions on how to build

Plans are not as do-able as I had hoped.

good read
