Excerpts from Cookbook Author Brigit Binns recipes.

Strawberry Galette Bella wood fired oven recipe:

Is it too early to think of Spring? The dough of this galette is gorgeously butter-centric, and thus, a bit tricky to work with, so I form and bake it atop a sheet of baking parchment that can easily be slid from counter to baking peel and into the oven, then back onto a peel, and then a serving platter.

Garlic, kale, and tomato salad flatbread wood fired recipe:

If followed from start to finish, this outrageously great flatbread requires a bit of time.
