I’m lying in bed reading this, having just woken up, and my stomach is now growling so hard I have to get up and eat before I finish reading my favorite blogs. Your gorgeous pictures have just made me WAY too hungry. This is a wonderful article in every way. Thank you for posting it. Now I really want one of those ovens.

Lucky you, esp your brother. They looked really lovely and I’m sure the food taste really nice too.

Wow! Your lovely photos make that bread look like it would be so delicious fresh from the oven and torn apart by hand!

My grandma had one like that in her back yard. Like you said, there’s nothing compared to food baked in this type of rustic ovens. I want one now Excellent pictures, as usual

As Jenn said, this is my dream house: a house with a garden and an earth oven. It’s strange because although you can find these in a lot of houses in Cyprus I never thought about how difficult it would be to bake in one of these ovens. I can imagine the taste and smell of that bread.

The mouth of that oven is stunning; the real sign of a well-loved, well-used piece of kit.

The bread is amazing! The mess that kind of crust makes when you saw through it is so worth it, isn’t it?
