‘If barbecues are seen as a man’s
world, then this is the next dimension.’ – Maggie Beer
Russell Jeavons owns and operates an eccentric
pizza restaurant in Willunga on the Fleurieu Peninsula, South
Australia, a region famous for its almonds, olive oil and McLaren
Vale wine. Known simply as ‘Russell’s’, the
restaurant – which opens only on Friday nights –
has gained a cult following due to the combination of fresh, wholesome
food served in a simple and informal style and cooked entirely
in Russell’s brick ovens. In Your Brick Oven Russell
shares his passion and knowledge of building, firing and cooking
for crowds according to ancient traditions. With the help of photographs
and diagrams his step-by-step guide takes you through all the
stages of building an oven, from choosing a site to firing up
for your first bake. Includes recipes for bread, roast lamb, pizza
and desserts.
