Outdoor Ovens

Tandoors, communal bakehouses, Cob ovens, Hay boxes, Hangi underground ovens from the Pacific, and of course, Barbeques. Josh Sutton has researched the ways humankind has enjoyed cooking in the great outdoors. By focusing on outdoor ovens, meaning those constructed or used outside of the home, as opposed to the average temperamental contraption found in most modern kitchens, we can learn about the people and communities that built and operated them. We know that people naturally gravitate towards a fire, and with a few recipes as well as instructions on how to build ovens, readers will warm to this book. If you can't stand the heat, go al fresco!
