Live Cook - Wood Fired Oven Slow cooked Beef Rendang in the Pouring Rain!
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.

From Rome's Heart to Caiazzo's Soul: My Journey from the Colosseum to Pepe in Grani in Italy.
In this season three premiere, I celebrate Italy's ancient and revered baking traditions by journeying from the historic Colosseum in Rome to the culinary haven of Caiazzo, specifically to dine at the acclaimed Pepe in Grani.
This episode is a tribute to the spirit of Italy's ancestral bakers, whose legacy vibrates through the streets and kitchens of the country today.
My adventure begins amidst Rome's monumental past, taking inspiration from the city's enduring history, then moves through Italy's picturesque landscapes, passing the ancient home of Spartacus at Capua, to gorgeous Caiazzo. Here, at Pepe in Grani, the focus shifts to experiencing the culinary artistry of Franco Pepe, whose dedication to pizza making reflects a modern interpretation of age-old traditions.
As I dine at Pepe in Grani, the episode captures the essence of being a guest in Franco Pepe's world, where each dish tells a story of local ingredients, traditional techniques, and innovation. The restaurant, with its intimate atmosphere and connection to the community, offers a firsthand look at how contemporary culinary practices are deeply intertwined with history.
This journey is not just about the flavours savoured at Pepe in Grani but also about sharing great food with our friends and family.
Join me this season as we honour the craft of baking and cooking with fire, starting with a visit to an incredible location where the wood fired oven serves as more than just an tool - it opens the door to cherished moments with friends and family.

A Slice of Innovation: Tasting the Unexpected at Bonci Pizzarium in Rome
In this episode of the Wood Fired Oven podcast, join me as I embark on an early evening walk through Rome, weaving through bustling streets en route to the legendary Bonci Pizzarium. Founded by Gabriele Bonci, this pizzeria is celebrated for revolutionizing Rome’s pizza scene with its unique "pizza al taglio" or pizza by the slice. Along the way, I’ll share a few unexpected surprises and insights into the city's rich cultural backdrop, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.
At Bonci Pizzarium, the pizza al taglio style comes to life. Characterised by its thick, airy, and slightly crispy crust, this pizza is baked in large rectangular trays and sold by weight. This method allows patrons to specify the exact size of their slice, which is then cut with scissors—a stark contrast to traditional round Neapolitan pizzas. Prepare to be captivated by the creativity and craftsmanship of their renowned chefs, who masterfully combine unconventional toppings like sausage with pear, leeks with Gorgonzola, and more.
Each slice is not just food; it's a narrative of passion and innovation. This episode is more than a simple food tour; it's an inspiration-packed journey that highlights the innovative spirit of Roman pizza artistry, igniting ideas for my own cooking adventures in my wood fired oven back home in Brisbane, Australia.
Join me for an adventure through Rome that blends cultural exploration with culinary discovery at one of the city's most celebrated pizzerias.

Live Cook - Hay smoked T-Bone Time in the Wood Fired Oven
Join me this week as I tackle smoking and cooking a HUGE 8cm (3 inch) T-bone steak in the Wood Fired Oven.
T-Bones, or Porterhouse steak as some folk know it by, is a classic cut for the BBQ (which is grilling to many of you) in my part of the world. I attempt to introduce some of the techniques I have learned from smoking meats over the past decade. Coupled with hay salt, the result is absolutely spectacular - and best of all - super easy to do. Cooking with fire rocks. It really does.
I also have a chat about some exciting upcoming episodes which include interviewing some world class Wood Fired Oven cooks!
I want to hear from you! Head over to WoodFiredOven.Cooking and record your question for the show now.
