Jaime At Home is one of my favorite cooking shows. I am totally enamored by his rustic English cottage and kitchen garden, his slapdash manner of cooking and, of course, his wonderful wood burning brick oven. Apparently, I am only one among many fans of his wood burning oven. It is so popular that similar ones are now being sold in his website. The price? Around 5,000 British pounds. Yikes.
Did you know that Mario Batali sells wood burning brick ovens as well? I came to know about the Mario Batali ovens through a friend of mine who shares the same interest in brick ovens among other things. His ovens are fully modular and very expensive as well.

Here's a cute one. It's a terracotta beehive oven from Sur La Table. It's still pricey at US$1,900.00.

There's really no room in my garden for a huge brick oven so I will settle for a brick grill instead and do all the baking indoors. But for those who seriously want a brick oven, you can make one yourself (or have someone make it for you) for a tiny fraction of the cost of a branded one. In my next post, I will share an article about a guy who made his own brick oven using bricks from Pangasinan (my hometown) and some cement.
We'll be off to the beach tomorrow so hopefully, my next post will be up by Sunday evening :-) Happy weekend everyone!

That explains the familiar rhythm of your thought expression. It is as though they were gentle waves on the seashore. You're from Pangasinan.
ReplyDeleteIs your brick grill going to be part of the 'dirty kitchen?' That will be nice to see.
Hi LouinSanFran! Nice to hear from you and thanks for your kind words :) We hail from Lingayen Pangasinan, hence, the "gentle waves on the seashore" immediately reminded me of the gulf at lowtide :) Hope my hometown (and the Philippines for that matter...) will be spared of the tsunami...
ReplyDeleteThe brick grill will be outdoors actually. Nothing fancy. It will pretty much look like the one that I used for cooking the paella valenciana. That was my mom's so I will just copy the design :-)
