The Landaal’s Beautiful Backyard Transformation
|
|
Dennis Landaal and his family had an unfinished backyard with an incredible view. They also have a deep love of pizza, family, friends, and fun (with parties for 50+ people!) Add in a lot of research and planning, a whole bunch of elbow grease, some cooperation, some time, (a really big crane,) and a custom-tiled, Vesuvio110 wood and gas fired oven, and WOW! The finished transformation of their space is so incredible, it’s hard to believe.

NAPCA Expands Classes to Include Virtual Options
|
|
The North American Pizza and Culinary Academy outside of Chicago, IL boasts a state of the art, in-house cooking school. However, with the continuing restrictions for in-person training this year, they have decided to expand their offerings to include an online option! This new, high-end, virtual platform will allow NAPCA to produce crisp HD content with multiple camera angles, and an on-site moderator to control all the action. Students can interact and ask questions live during each class, helping them engage and learn the art of pizza making and other cuisines from the comfort of their own home kitchens and restaurants. While an investment of time and technology, this new offering will enable NAPCA to expand its curriculum, reaching many more students across the county and around the world!
We are also excited to announce that the first online Forno Bravo Wood Fired Basics Class hosted by NAPCA is coming soon. CLICK HERE to receive an email alert as soon as the date and details are released!

Wood fired cooking is both art and science. The recipes that we share here in the Newsletter, and in our Community Cookbook can be readily adapted to various oven sizes, cooking temperatures, fuel sources, and your personal preferences. For example, love lobster, like on the pizza recipe below? Heap it on! Not such a fan? Substitute pre-cooked, marinated chicken instead. The combinations are endless. Visit our online cookbook to try out over 200+ delicious recipes for your oven.
