Pizza in the Wood Oven

Recently, we fired up the Wood Oven to bake bread. In order to achieve the maximum bake we preheat the oven the night before and usually bake pizza while we do. Here then is a short film about that activity. A fuller feature is coming about baking bread in the oven. Kudos to Big Ed to getting me out there to film the process!

Local Foods Adventure

podchef@gmail.com (Podchef Neal Foley) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:00:00 +0000

Here’s a short film about my recent trip to the East Coast and the local meal I cooked there for some listeners to the show. After touring around the region where I grew up, I selected some cheese from Cato Corner Farmstead Cheese, some produce from Woodbridge Farm CSA, some excellent lamb from Sankow’s Beaver Brook Farm, and some interesting wines from Priam Vineyards. Along the way my host and I stopped at many farm stands to get additional items for our meal and at Jon’s Fish Market to get some amazingly local, fresh fish. Within a 20 mile radius of our base, Colchester, we found everything we needed to eat well, and that was all within 35 miles of where I grew up. Not bad for local dining with local food.
