Melissa got me a really cool cookbook for Christmas. Its called JAMIE AT HOME by Jamie Oliver. The portion I've become infatuated with is the pizza section. Jamie had a brick oven built in his backyard (I've included a photo for reference) and he raves about the difference its made in his pizzas. While he claims you can get "similar" (read, not as good) results, I just can't get the brick oven out of my head. The book's influence has seeped into our ramped up attempts to purchase a house here in Los Angeles. So I'm now officially OBSESSED with the idea of building one in our new backyard. Just hope the backyard ends up being big enough!

Dear MrPuente-
"What goes around, comes around" Those brick ovens you talk about are not new to me - my mother had one in her backyard - ALL Ukrainians did. That's how they baked all their delicious breads, etc. Know that your sons are 1/8 Ukrainian. By all means. build them this 'peech' - that's what they were called and they were made out of clay!
Good luck, but buy a house with a b-i-g yard first.
Love,
Grannie
Mmmm... I think brick oven baked pizzas sound delicious!!!!! I would come eat one!
I can't wait for a peech.
Check out a site called Fornobravo.com. All your dreams of brick ovens will come true! Seriously!
After I watched a pizza episode on Jamie Olivers’ 30 Minute Meals, I got inspired to have a brick oven at home and create my own delicious pizza. :’) My husband and my two boys made it for me last year, so now, there's always pizza on our table!
