Yucatan-Style Fish Tacos with Chef Aaron Brooks
Starting with fresh yellowtail fish, Chef Aaron Brooks takes us through how to make wood fired Yucatan-style fish tacos. He starts by baking the marinated fish fillets in banana leaves using the oven’s residual heat. While that is cooking, he assembles the dough for corn tortillas from scratch and bakes them directly on the oven floor. Finally, he prepares all of his garnishments to round out this delightful, light and flavorful summer dish.

Compact Ovens for Backyard Baking - Primavera & Bella

Smaller spaces invite intimate gatherings among friends where you can laugh, talk, and cook together to create happy, lasting memories. The Primavera refractory oven and the Bella steel pizza oven both fit this entertaining niche perfectly. They are designed as outdoor, wood fired ovens that reach the highest temperatures for making true Neapolitan pizza, or can roast and bake at a lower heat for maximum menu flexibility. With a small footprint and 20 minute heat up times, they will add pizzazz to any party without overwhelming your whole space. Learn more below.
