Wood Fired Kale-Stuffed Pork Loin with Cranberries and Pine Nuts
Mar 01, 2016I invited some friends to dinner who love anything that comes from the wood fired oven. We recently came through over a week of below-zero temperatures so I thought standing in front of the wood fired oven sounded cozy and comforting. I found a pork loin in the market and made a plan to stuff, roll and tie the pork and nestle it into a 450-500 degree oven. The weather... Read More

Black Truffle Smashed Potatoes
Feb 01, 2016It’s not every day that I have a beautiful black truffle sitting in my refrigerator at home beckoning me to indulge in some form of “trufflie” deliciousness… Although it does happen now and then. Last time was a batch of simple but perfectly scrambled eggs smothered in shaved black truffle and a touch of creme fraiche for my beautiful bride “just because”.

Herb Roasted Chicken
Jan 04, 2016I have always found comfort in roasted chicken, both the process of making a roasted chicken and eating one. It always reminds me of a Sunday supper with the entire family around the table. If your family is anything like mine (7 of us,) you might need two birds. The cooking time will largely depend on the temperature of your wood burning oven — a 3 pound bird will take... Read More

Keeping with the spring and summer seasons, this recipe highlights the sweet ripeness of apricots combined with the tart creaminess of goat cheese.

Wood Fired Roasted Artichokes
Sep 08, 2015Eating local … I grew up a little more than 100 miles north of Castroville, California. Castroville sits just outside of Monterey and a mere 8 miles from Forno Bravo HQ. Since the 1920’s, Castroville and the Salinas Valley have been among the most productive agriculture regions of California. It can be said the area is known for its artichokes. An artichoke is the flower of the thistle plant, technically... Read More
