Book Synopsis"Richard Miscovich’s descriptions and instructions are both practical and inspirationally poetic—dare I say, soulful. He ignites the fire within and compels us to want to know what he knows and to bake as well as he bakes."—Peter Reinhart, author of The Bread Baker’s Apprentice In the last several years, interest in wood-fired ovens has increased dramatically in the United States and abroad, but most books focus on how to bake bread or pizza in an oven. From the Wood-Fired Oven offers many more techniques for home and artisan bakers—from baking bread and making pizza to recipes on how to get as much use as possible out of a single oven firing, from the first live-fire roasting to drying wood for the next fire. From the Wood-Fired Oven offers a new take on traditional techniques for professional bakers, but is simple enough to inspire any nonprofessional baking enthusiast. Leading baker and instructor Richard Miscovich wants people to use their ovens to fulfill the goal of maximum heat utilization. Readers will find methods and techniques for cooking and baking in a wood-fired oven in the order of the appropriate temperature window. What comes first—pizza, or pastry? Roasted vegetables or a braised pork loin? Clarified butter or beef jerky? In addition to an extensive section of delicious formulas for many types of bread, readers will find chapters on: • Making pizza and other live-fire flatbreads; • Roasting fish and meats; • Grilling, steaming, braising, and frying; • Baking pastry and other recipes beyond breads; • Rendering animal fats and clarifying butter; • Food dehydration and infusing oils; • And myriad other ways to use the oven's residual heat. Appendices include oven-design recommendations, a sample oven temperature log, Richard's baker's percentages, proper care of a sourdough starter, and more. . . . From the Wood-Fired Oven is more than a cookbook; it reminds the reader of how a wood-fired oven (and fire, by extension) draws people together and bestows a sense of comfort and fellowship, very real human needs, especially in uncertain times. Indeed, cooking and baking from a wood-fired oven is a basic part of a resilient lifestyle, and a perfect example of valuable traditional skills being put to use in modern times. *Author Richard Miscovich and From the Wood-Fired Oven have been mentioned or featured in the New York Times, Saveur, Bon Appétit, NPR's "The Splendid Table", the Boston Globe and the Los Angeles Times Trade ReviewForeWord Reviews- "Passionate thoughts combine with a spectacular range of ideas for using wood-fired ovens to make this guide a must-have for anyone curious about this well-loved cooking method. Although wood-fired ovens are best known for crispy pizza crusts and rustic breads, they can be utilized for a much wider array of tasks, from drying wood to roasting meats. Richard Miscovich’s extensive guidebook on using these types of ovens celebrates the stunning breadth of tactics while also providing insights into history, homesteading, and masonry. Although there are several guides to building ovens and books that offer baking techniques, it’s Miscovich’s expertise at fusing these two worlds that proves especially helpful. In straightforward language, he breaks down factors like conduction, convection, radiant heat, thermal breaks, and other important aspects of wood-fired ovens. Guiding readers through the “full heat cycle” and its uses, he provides instructions on cooking everything from roasted vegetables to seared fish, and his in-depth sections on breads are particularly stunning. The step-by-step directions are easily understood, and there are so many variations to basic recipes that it would likely be challenging to tackle everything included. Accompanying photos capture the delicious results. Beyond the nuts-and-bolts approach to utilizing the ovens, Miscovich’s guide returns often to the idea of sustainability. He writes about self-sufficiency, creating a reliable food supply, traditional skills, and community building. Cooking with fire isn’t just a fun technique, he believes, but it’s also a way to get back some of the wisdom and fellowship that’s been lost: 'Wood-fired ovens fulfill resiliency’s requirements: flexibility, diversity, and a backup system to ensure self-reliance instead of helplessness … Generous sharing of information among bakers, millers, and oven builders increases our community’s resilience.'"“Even if you don’t have a wood-fired oven, and you bake bread, get this book. The technical information about bread is approachable and correct and will bring your bread baking to the next level.”--Solveig Tofte, co-owner, Sun Street Breads, Minneapolis “Finally, a modern and comprehensive wood-fired oven management book! Richard addresses innovations in oven design and offers intelligent approaches to getting the most out of your wood-fired oven. Interweaving homespun anecdotes with solid bread baking and culinary instruction while offering clear explanations of oven design, this book answers the questions and concerns of bakers of all levels.”--Melina Kelson, certified master baker, Bootleg Batard and Kendall College “So, you want a wood-fired oven to bake bread and have pizza parties? What should you build? How does it work? What else can it cook? As an oven-builder I hear these questions a lot, but the books I can recommend for cooking with fire say little about ovens, and the ones about bread and ovens don't take you very far with cooking. So I’m glad to now be able to recommend Richard Miscovich’s From the Wood-Fired Oven. He speaks with the authority of a professional baking instructor (and cook), an experienced mason, and a neighborhood baker; he also writes well, takes beautiful photos, and has a wealth of stories to tie it all together. He’s worked with leading professionals in many fields, and teaches from extensive experience with bread, pizza, meats, vegetables, desserts, etc., as well as ovens, masonry, fire, heat, and more.”--Kiko Denzer, author of Build Your Own Earth Oven “When it comes to anything wood-fired, Richard Miscovich has set the new gold standard with his comprehensive book, From the Wood-Fired Oven. Both well written and inspiring, his book takes the reader on a journey that will delight and educate amateur and professional bakers alike. Richard is a master of this ancient craft, and his expert command of formula development, along with his knowledge of the classic and cutting-edge concepts in wood-fired oven construction, use, and maintenance, make this book unique and a must-have for any baker's library!”--Ciril Hitz, author of Baking Artisan Bread and Baking Artisan Pastries and Breads “Richard has done so much more than just transfer his extensive knowledge about baking and wood-fired ovens onto paper in this book; he talks to the reader in a way that makes you feel that he is right in front of you, sharing his experiences, encouraging you to travel down a path that has brought him to where he is. His personal stories and experiences take this book beyond great, to one of a kind. I like that he doesn’t assume the reader knows anything. You will learn about the bones of a wood-fired oven, including not just how to use it but how to make the most of it. He covers all the details and answers all the questions before you have to ask. It is a must-have addition to the collection of any food enthusiast, amateur or professional!”--Jeff Yankellow, board chair, Bread Bakers Guild of America “This is the book for which all wood-fired oven owners, hopeful owners, and serious bakers have been waiting. Richard Miscovich’s descriptions and instructions are both practical and inspirationally poetic – dare I say, soulful. He ignites the fire within, and compels us to want to know what he knows and to bake as well as he bakes. In this book, he shares it all.”--Peter Reinhart, author of The Bread Baker’s Apprentice and Artisan Breads Everyday Booklist- "It’s safe to say that most of us won’t be baking in a wood-fired oven . . . at least, in the foreseeable future. On the other hand, for bread aficionados and others addicted to the tastes emanating from these kinds of ovens, there’s no better substitute for the knowledge and expertise Miscovich imparts—not to mention the 50-something recipes. He begins with the foundations: understanding ovens and fuel, operating guidelines, and all the processes that comprise bread-baking, from ingredients to proofing. Every chapter is filled with color photographs and, when necessary, step-by-step sequences. Where the author truly excels is in his very thorough explanation of recipes. They’re woven into the text, using a narrative style. He freely gives advice, variations, and commentary on best and not-as-good versions, as well as caveats (e.g., what to expect from a bread starter when it’s been transferred from another region). At times, personal stories appear, from his relationship with the late Alan Scott (a master brick-oven builder and coauthor of the seminal work on wood-fired ovens) to his bout with carpal tunnel syndrome. Thorough and completely engaging."

Beyond the bake, Lebo also invites us to ruminate on the social history, the meaning, and the place of pie in the pantheon of favorite foods.Recipes include Brandied Apple and Cracked Cardamom Pie White Peach and Raspberry Galette Rosemary Rhubarb and Vanilla Chevre Galette Winter Luxury Pumpkin Pie Huckleberry Pie Marionberry Pie with Hazelnut Crumble Lamb, Pumpkin, and Quince Pie Chicken Pot PieTrade ReviewWIRED Best Cookbooks of 2023 (So far)"Freshly revised from the 2014 original with new and updated recipes, it offers soothing lessons in technique and taste. When your hands are coated with sticky dough, [Lebo's] voice is a balm, and clear photos keep you from worrying.—WIRED.com“I love Kate Lebo’s Pie School so much. It’s reassuringly detailed for new cooks yet full of nuance that make veteran cooks like me say, “Oh wow, right!” The recipe lineup feels fresh and personal, with inventive recipes so solid they seem like classics."—Martha Holmberg, James Beard Award-winning co-author of Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables and author of Simply Tomato “With recipes and words that spotlight traditional pie-making both savory and sweet, Kate Lebo’s Pie School is a definite keeper for any pie-maker’s bookshelf.” —Kate McDermott, James Beard Award-nominated author of Art of the Pie “Kate Lebo’s prose is rich and spiky, her voice spiced with wit and undergirded with tenderness; her work is pithy, well-researched, and always profoundly knowledgeable. Sure, she writes about food, but she’s really writing about humanity, her own and all of ours. To call this ‘a book about pie’ is like calling Moby-Dick ‘a book about a whale.’” —Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author of The Great Man and Blue Plate Special “Kate Lebo’s Pie School will delight you with its word play and train you to be the most capable baker in your neighborhood." —Katie Quinn, author of Cheese, Wine, and Bread “It’s hard to imagine Kate Lebo’s improving upon Pie School; it was one of those triumphantly instant classics that rendered itself indispensable from the get-go. And yet the hindsight that emerged from life during COVID and writing her wonderfully weird, gorgeously geeky literary masterpiece Difficult Fruit has resulted in a second edition even more special and, if it’s possible, essential than the first.” —Charlotte Druckman, author of Women on Food “As with our most revered teachers, Kate Lebo, [in Pie School,] inspires us with her infectious passion for her subject—deciphering a daunting topic with the gentlest of hands and unwaveringly cheering us on to be the best cooks and people we can be. This is school you’ll never want to graduate from.” —Peter Hoffman, chef and author of What’s Good: A Memoir in Fourteen Ingredients "If actual school was as fun as Pie School, no one would ever play hooky. Kate Lebo has written a wonderful book celebrating the craft of baking fruit pies."—Becky Selengut, author of Good Fish"Kate Lebo is the teacher we all wanted in school, her kitchen a classroom for lessons in life."—Langdon Cook, author of The Mushroom HuntersTable of ContentsNew recipes include:Pie for Dinner • Fennel Sausage, Cabbage, Beets & Apple Pie • Lamb, Pumpkin, and Quince Pie • Chanterelle, Goat Cheese, Delicata, and Tomato PieSam’s Veggie Pie The Life of Chicken Pot Pie: a recipe cycle • Roast Chicken • Chicken Stock • Gravy • Schmaltz-Roasted Potatoes with Garlic and Herbs • Schmaltz-Roasted Vegetables • Roasted Vegetable Pie • Chicken Pot Pie Difficult Fruits • Gooseberry and Elderflower Pie • Black Currant Custard • Elderberry Pie • Black Chokeberry Pie • Sarviceberry Pie

Book SynopsisSelected for Jamie Oliver's Cookbook ClubFor every two lovers of sweet baked treats, there is at least another who will take the gruyère gougère or the curry pastie every time. All Day Baking: Savoury, Not Sweet is a baking cookbook – at last – for them.All Day Baking: Savoury, Not Sweet delivers 77 comforting, inventive and wholegrain-forward ideas for savoury pies, sausage rolls, pasties and myriad other mostly pastry-based recipes. The book is structured across the arc of a day but the recipes are interchangeable; it also includes ideas for gutsy accompaniments that equip the reader with the tools to transform delicious bakes into nourishing any-time-of-day meals, with a focus on minimising waste, sustainability and seasonability. Author Michael James is a Michelin-restaurant chef by training who was drawn early to the art, precision, and satisfaction of baking. In All Day Baking he turns his attention to the pasties of his British childhood, the pies he creates today for his young family, and the quiches, sausage rolls, palmiers and galettes that have earned him an international cult following. He delivers a master class in pastry – from puff to rye to vegan and gluten-free – gifting readers a foundation knowledge that sets them on a path to their own delicious baking adventures. Throughout there is a nod to Michael and wife Pippa James’ ethos, rooted in sustainability, seasonality and a desire to minimise their waste footprint. Trade Review'All Day Baking is a perfect marriage of the finesse of pastry craft and thoughtful, honest food ethos. Generous with knowledge, Michael and Pippa will inspire you to reach past packets of plain white flour to become a grain-inclusive baker with a repertoire of ingenious flavour combinations. These are recipes to always keep close to your hearth.' – Natalie Paull'This book is AMAZING.' – Chad Robertson'Michael and Pippa have created a collection of recipes, thoughts and stories that manage to consider all the best bits about a local, honest and traceable food culture. They've included generous nods to place, season and growers, the value of health and time with family and provided insight and inspiration around the fun and craft of savoury baking. Plus, everything is delicious.' – Dan Hunter'I have been known to join the queue for Michael James’ delicious food, and while I delight in his beautiful cakes and sweet treats, I marvel at his exquisite savoury baking: perfect pastry, on-point seasoning and interesting but never gratuitous, flavours. In All Day Baking, Michael and Pippa have given us a collection of irresistible pies and pasties, homely scones and quiches, gorgeous galettes and tarts. And of course, those famous sausage rolls. Practical tips and friendly guidance ensure our efforts are rewarded, and a wonderful section on ketchups, relishes and chutneys tempt us even more to get (savoury!) baking. My only apprehension is that, with this book, I really will want to bake all day!' – Helen Goh'I met Michael and Pippa years back at a grain gathering at the bread lab at Washington State University. What struck me first was their sincere passion for the foundation of all good things bread and pastry. This was beautifully represented at their world-renowned Tivoli Road Bakery in Melbourne. In their first book, The Tivoli Road Baker, Michael’s full arsenal was on display. In this second book, he and Pippa give us the feeling and flavour of home, a focused all-day arc of savoury pies and pastry pulling from Michael’s roots in Cornwall England, kissed with time and a professional journey well spent.' – Chris Bianco'A declaration for the joys of savoury baking. As exciting as any sweet baking book, it is filled with recipes you’ll make time and time again. From bacon and egg breakfast buns to butter chicken pie, this was a book I devoured, from its beautiful design and imagery, to its modern, thoughtful recipes, this is a book that should find a place in any bakers kitchen.' – Edd Kimber'The lure of pastry never ceases to excite me, yet my natural bent is savoury. In All Day Baking, Michael and Pippa have thrown themselves into the pages savoury first. And in so many cases, offered step-by-step photographs to give the novice huge confidence. I love this book.' – Maggie Beer'Michael and Pippa James have written an inviting collection of recipes that celebrates deeply savoury flavours in the creative seasonal kitchen. Written in an approachable manner with suggestions to increase wholegrain flours, both aspirational and experienced home bakers will expand their pastry skills with these reliable and flexible techniques. From Asparagus, Ham, and Cheese Bostocks, to Beetroot and Shallot Tarte Tatin and Buckwheat English Muffins made with sourdough, these delectable recipes are rooted in old-world traditions but with the modern and accessible flair of an experienced chef. Considerate recommendations for substitute ingredients are present throughout, with clever tips and expertly explained instructions that encourage intuitive prowess while maintaining respect for the process. This will be your handy, beautifully-photographed book of back-pocket recipes that bring enjoyment to any meal.' – Sarah Owens'I have been a massive fan of Michael James ever since I visited him at Tivoli Road Bakery, where he was baking some of the best bread and pastries in Melbourne. We loved his first book, The Tivoli Road Baker, and its always on the shelf in our kitchen and bakery. His new book, All Day Baking, is savoury baking genius, with the chapters set out beautifully, and not surprisingly full of the most tempting and delicious recipes for the whole family. We can't wait to bake from his book.' – Justin Gellatly'Michael's book is both extraordinarily beautiful and inspiring, but more importantly it is also comprehensive; with superb easy to follow step-by-step instructions for utterly delicious recipes that you actually bake, making it perfect for any level of baker.' – Vanessa Kimbell'Michael's book has everything I look for in a baking book – a wide breadth of classic and unique flavours, meticulous notes and instructions on techniques, recipes that can be trusted, and an author who is smart, generous and genuinely wants the reader to succeed. Avid weekend bakers and professionals alike will refer to this book again and again both for fundamentals and inspiration. I look forward to adding many of these recipes to my repertoire.' – Bonnie Ohara‘Create that cosy pub feeling in your kitchen with crisp, buttery pastry enclosing rich, savoury delights’– Food & Travel

Most importantly, the book is packed with absolutely mouth-watering cakes, bakes and other sweet treats. * Rachel Khoo *It is no coincidence that the kindest, most talented man in the business has written this game-changing, plant-based cookbook which gently temps us to bake in a way that is natural and more compassionate for the planet. * Helen Goh *Phil is a trailblazer for the world of vegan baking. As a professional pastry chef, you can see the detail and the thoroughness he’s put into every recipe to ensure it’s the very best. If you’re a home baker looking to get into plant-based baking, or just keen to add some new recipes to your repertoire, then this is the book for you. A must-have baking resource for everyone with approachable and delicious recipes. It’s a book that I know I’ll have close by at all times! * Matt Adlard *A game changer. A beautifully designed book that opens a wide door for vegans, those who are lactose intolerant - and curious cooks who just love excellent bakes and desserts. * Mark Diacono, Delicious Magazine *Philip Khoury's book is such a revelation. How he injects such richness and crunch into his plant-based pastry and lightness into his eggless sponges is little short of a miracle. I've done side by side comparisons of his dairy and non-dairy tiramisu and brownies and, honestly, it's hard to tell the difference. I'm not saying this is the future of baking, but if it is, we've got nothing to worry about. * The Times *
