Anna Carpenter grew up on the island of Capri and attended school in Naples, the birthplace of pizza. Italy ignited her passion for cooking in wood burning ovens. Now, living in California, she is the owner of Los Angeles Ovenworks, a company that imports handcrafted wood burning ovens. Through her business, Carpenter has guided many families through the sometimes-intimidating process of building a wood fired oven. “So many people want an outdoor oven, but don’t know where to begin. From laying out the space, to cultivating the perfect ambiance, every home is different and each family has its own unique vision,” says Carpenter. “This book provides illustration and guidance to make it easy for readers to bring this cherished Italian tradition into their lives.”
