Not too long ago I spent the day with Jim of Mary’ Gs Artisan Breads Jim’s classes were magical. Brimming with decades of expertise he willingly shares all of his professional secrets. By the end of the day I knew that a wood fired oven was in my future, I just haven’t figured out where I have room for it.

Here are some highlights of my day. Bagels, dough, boiled and baked. There are no better bagels in the world.

Here is Diane with our baguettes. One bite of these babies and you think that you would have died and gone to heaven.

Jim was wonderful. He made me feel like I just might be able to bake like him too!

If you are interested in learning how to bake in a wood fired oven I highly recommend Jim’s course. I am still trying to talk my husband into building one of these castles!
