Wood Stone Gives Back to Green Plate Special

Green Plate SpecialWhen Chef Laura Dewell left her position as Residential Coordinator at Wood Stone Home, we were all sad, yet excited to watch as she pursued her dream of bringing a Garden-to-Table educational non-profit program to Seattle’s middle school youth. Just beginning their fourth year, Green Plate Special now has a permanent home in the Rainier Valley district, complete with beautiful raised garden beds, worm and compost bins, greenhouse, storage shed, harvest sink, prep and outdoor dining area as well as, you guessed it, a beautiful new Wood Stone Mt. Adams wood-burning oven

As Wood Stone president Kurt Eickmeyer put it after he recently visited GPS for their Garden Gala, “I am so proud of Laura! She has used her energy and vision to create a truly remarkable program which is changing lives for kids in Seattle.  Wood Stone was more than happy to provide an oven for this great project.”

Below is a video which gives some additional insight into what Green Plate Special does. View it and feel free to learn more at http://greenplatespecial.org/

S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pizza

A new Wood Stone customer recently sent us this note and the included photo looked so tasty we just had to share!

Ok…we’re really loving our pizza oven! Dinner was cooked in it 5 nights in a row (along with a nice lunch), and tonight I tested out a s’mores chocolate chip cookie dough pizza for a Girl Scout party. Delicious!!

I don’t think we’ll ever cook indoors again! Thank you Woodstone!  – Christina

To make this tasty dessert pizza yourself:

Begin with your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough.  While regular pizzas bake directly on the hearth, this cookie “pizza” is best baked on a round pizza pan or cookie sheet which has been coated with cooking spray. Press or roll the cookie dough into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.  If your oven has been up to pizza temperature for dinner already (560°-590° F), bake the cookie in the doorway with the Flame Height at 1.  If you are just heating it up for this recipe, you can bake it with an oven temperature of 400° F and cook more in the center of the oven.  Either way you’ll need to rotate the cookie 180° during baking to brown evenly.  When cookie is almost done, top with crumbled graham crackers, chopped chocolate bars and mini marshmallows.  Return to oven and bake until chocolate is melted and marshmallows are golden brown.  Enjoy!

Their first pizza!

 

New Wood Stone Home Oven owners just sent us this photo of the very first pizza being baked in their gorgeous new Bistro Home oven – the focal point of their recently completed BBQ area. How cute is this?…

When we got the call that Bobby Flay wanted a Wood Stone for his home – we obviously couldn’t say yes fast enough!  Bobby installed a Mt.
