After mastering the irresistible pizzas you will want to use your fired-up oven to cook amazing dishes like jerk chicken, marinated pork ribs and bistecca Fiorentina. The chapter on breads is a revelation, with wonderful loaves like focaccia, ciabatta and sourdough, which will convert you to home baking. In the last chapter you will find tempting recipes for apple pie, crumble, meringues, cakes and brownies.
