Catching up is pretty tricky…my posts are so delayed! But anyway, at least I always have something to post on my free time. Here’s week 2 of my dad’s woodfired oven dinner spree. This one was a Turkey dinner.

For this one, they baked the turkey in a conventional oven, and then finished it in the woodfired oven. Still the smokey taste was there. Here’s our line-up:

Breads with dips
- whipped butter, chicken liver pate and orange confit, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, homemade roastbeef with horseradish sauce

Parsley and Couscous Salad

dad: the happy new owner of the ovenMy dad finally purchased his very own wood-fired oven around two months ago. Since then we’ve been having wood-fired oven dinners for the past weeks. Our pizzas and breads have gone from scientific to artisan. Despite the pugon smell that can’t get off your clothes and the first few weeks of teary eyes because of the smoke, my dad’s new toy was the most exciting thing that’s happened to our Sunday dinners this year (and our dinners are very exciting without the oven mind you). No, we haven’t decided if we would open these lovely pizzas and creations to the public. For now, you could just hope and pray that you get invited to one of the private dinners.

For week 1 our menu was like this:

Artisan breads with Turkish Olive Oil, Sea Salt and Aged Balsamic Vinegar

- this bread had a crunchy exterior and a soft, warm inside..some were not so crunchy in the exterior but was nice and soft.
