Cooking with Fire
I am a home cook, wife, and mother, passionate about cooking over an open fire and sharing my experiences with others.
When my husband and I built our wood-fired oven in 2020, (with a lot of help from my father-in-law)I knew it wouldn’t just be a “pizza oven.” It became a way for me to showcase my passion for cooking, experiment with new recipes, and connect with others.
My oven has served all those purposes and more! We quickly added a wood-fired grill in 2021, and in 2023, we added a wood-fired smoker. The three pieces work together perfectly to create fabulous meals.
This blog is designed to encourage you to connect with me and other wood-fired oven owners. Let’s exchange recipes, cooking tips, photos, and more!
I hope you enjoy it and connect with me via Instagram
