Wood Fired Oven

Send us a text

Join me as I sit down and have a chat with Vanessa Niño - a Colombian wood fired oven home cook. You will get inspired by some amazing Colombian and Brazilian foods as we talk about her journey from Bogotá to Maryland in the USA.
Vanessa is passionate about her family and heritage and loves to cook in her gorgeous wood fired oven and her Brazilian wood fired grill. Her enthusiasm with cooking with fire is contagious - so if you love to cook outdoors with fire, take a listen to this episode.
