Hi and welcome - we are David and Holly Jones from Manna from Devon Woodfired Cooking School and this is our masterclass on cooking with a traditional woodfired oven. 

We've been teaching courses on woodfired ovens at our school in the south of the UK for a long time and now you can learn with us wherever you are in the world. 

We know you can get a lot of this info for nothing on Youtube etc so thanks so much for investing in us - we have put together all the information we think you'll need to get started with your traditional woodfired oven without any interruptions for adverts and from an experienced woodfired cooking school who just want you to get the most from your woodfired oven. 

Let's get right in and see what you'll be learning - happy cooking!

Welcome to our Masterclass on cooking with your modern metal woodfired oven. 

This is the course for you if 

 
Coming up, David will be talking about modern metal woodfired ovens and the basics of woodfired cooking. In this section, he'll be introducing you to - 

In this section, David will be talking about - 

We have collected lots of equipment over the years but in this video David will show you what we use the most so effectively the things you need to get started.

There's such a lot to think about when you're making pizzas in your woodfired oven so David's taking you through them step by step to make a thin and crispy pizza.

Remember there's lots more in-depth info on making the dough etc in our Woodfired Pizza Masterclass. 

Tempting as it is to invite friends and family round for a pizza party as soon as your oven arrives, do give yourself time first to practise with your oven and then your pizza making skills before doing it all in front of a crowd! 

In this section, David's talking all about grilling in your woodfired oven.

As he says, don't call your oven a pizza oven but a woodfired oven and then you can cook anything in it - including grilling amazing steaks, chops, fish and vegetables, even fruit. 

To do this we use a Tuscan grill, sat over a bed of embers - so your oven is now effectively a barbecue.

In this section, David is roasting an awesome woodfired chicken served with roast onions, stuffed aubergines (eggplant) and served on a bed of herby lemony couscous. 

Just delicious and a very impressive meal to serve your friends and family. 

Have a good look at the video to see what he does and we have the notes and recipes for you in the pdf. 

Happy cooking!
