Join me for a live walk along the ancient Hadrian's Wall in the United Kingdom, as I go searching for a 2000 year old ancient wood fired oven inside Housesteads Roman Fort. Take a listen to the gorgeous ambience of the UK countryside and get a sense of what life was like for young roman soldiers, eating freshly baked bread from these ovens on the very edge of the north west frontier of the Roman Empire.

A special thanks to English Heritage for giving me permission to bring my recording equipment and record this episode  inside Housesteads Roman fort.

English Heritage is an incredibly important charity. They protect an internationally-important collection of historic sites and artefacts which span six millennia, from the ancient past to the present day and include palaces, houses, hill figures, castles, abbeys, industrial sites, Roman forts and even deserted medieval villages.

Caring for these places and their collections for the benefit of this and future generations is a cornerstone of everything they do. 

If you re able, please consider making a donation to English Heritage to help preserve these wonderful sites.

This week, I am cooking a gorgeous slow cooked Beef Rendang in the pouring rain! Brisbane, Australia has seen some astonishing wet weather during this so called 'dry season'. This weekend, I try to get out and cook in the wood fired oven in between the showers and thunder!

An authentic Rendang from Indonesia will usually take between 6-8 hours. That's pretty low and slow. The final result is a very dark, rich and delight comfort food - steeped in tradition. Perfect for this rainy, cold and miserable weekend. 

Join me in my backyard for this delightful feast.

Join me as I have a fire side chat with one of Instagrams most prolific Wood Fired Oven home cooks. I recently had the privilege to go and meet Chis Vozzo and his lovely family in southern Queensland, Australia. Following a devastating accident in 2013, Chris talks about his recovery and why cooking so often in his Wood Fired Oven helps him heal and move forward with his life.  We chat about his family heritage, his wood fired oven location and planning considerations as well as examining some of his most popular cooks we see on Instagram. Take a listen to an incredible story and get motivated to get cooking outdoors this weekend.

What better way to start my day, than sipping some gorgeous coffee at a cafe, flicking through a stack of amazing cooking with fire books on the small table in front of me. Listening to some of your incredible recommendations on books that have inspired, educated and motivated you to cook or bake something incredible.

This is a true crowd sourced episode. Thanks to those lovely listeners who took the time to send me a short audio book recommendation recently.
