Woodfired Appetizers:
Warmed Olives & Goat Cheese Dip Just a couple of favorites to take the "edge" off those hungry guests before the pizza/food hits the table. Warmed olives. If you've never had, you need to try. Easy and very delicious. Goat Cheese Dip. Similar to our Cheese Banga Cauda, this one packs a punch with fresh tomato, capers, shallots and basil. |

Woodfired Asiago Zucchini Chips.
What a great and easy appetizer! These little delicacies can be eating warm or room temperature. It's vegetarian also. It is very important to press the Asiago crumb mixture onto the sliced zucchini. As the slices cook the crumb mixture will adhere to the zucchini. Serve with a side of Marinara sauce for dipping... your family and friends will love it! |

Woodfired Roasted Vegetables.
Roasting vegetables brings our their natural sweetness. We roast them and serve them for appetizers, use them in pannini or pasta, on pizza, etc. This video gives you an idea of the method of roasting veggies in a woodfired oven. We season them with just sea salt, black pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Herbs can be used, we like thyme with mushrooms, and seeds like fennel or cumin can be experimented with. But a good rule of thumb is to keep it as simple as possible and let the vegetable shine. |

Shrimp Fra 'Diavolo
This dish is a pleaser. Spicy. Saucy. And... well... Shrimpy. Serves as a great appetizer but can definitely stand on its own as an entree. The basic idea is to make a really spicy marinara sauce and cook your shrimp in it. This video is a quickie, but you will get the idea.

Woodfired Cheese Bagna Cauda.
This dish is so simple, so luxurious, and so good. Who doesn't like cheese? I mean... really? The casuella is the perfect vessel for even melting of the cheese. The pottery of the casuella also creates a more "cooked/chewy" edge that the experienced seem to seek out when this appetizer is served. This dish can be prepared ahead of time. Just rub the garlic, cut up the cheese, and cover with plastic wrap. Leaving the cheese at room temperature helps with even and fast melting. |

Roasted Red Bell Peppers in the Woodfired oven.
Once you do this the first time, you'll get hooked. Great for salads, in pasta, on pizza, bruschetta, and perfect as a classic Italian appetizer. To marinate them as an Italian appetizer, mince 1 clove of garlic per 2-3 peppers and coat with EV olive oil. Serve along side olives and salumi. My friend Bill notes that one can also place these beauties in a blender and make a wonderful sauce for pasta & veggies. He adds a little EV olive oil, salt, oregano or thyme.... and that's it. |

Coal Roasted Artichokes.
They're a little bit of work, but they're oh so good. Globe artichokes are smaller and have a more edible choke in the center. Shop for artichokes that are about 3" in diameter. These delicious little veggies are especially good in springtime when artichokes are fresh and readily available. Use them in pasta, on pizza, or on their own. We serve the final product at room temperature, with a little extra virgin olive oil on them, or you can add a little tang and marinate them with red wine vinegar, olive oil, and more garlic. |

Natalia's Garlic Knots in the Woodfired oven.
This is my daughter's favorite appetizer. Every pizza party we have, Natalia wants to make sure we have some dough put aside for garlic knots before the pizza party. So here's a quick little video on how we make them. What are garlic knots? They're soft, warm, garlicky, cheesy knots of dough. Originally made on the east coast of the US, and slowly trickling towards the west. We hope you try them with your family and friends. Send us a note and let us know how you like them! |
