About Me

My photo
jodachef
As a chef I know no better smell than that of food and in particular pizza that has come straight out of a wood fired oven . Cooking in a wood-fired pizza oven is one of life’s great pleasures. Few things compare with the experience of firing your oven, watching the flames heat the oven dome, feeling the heat of the oven on your face, and cooking some of the world’s best pizza, bread and roasts in your own back yard.
