Seven Fires, by Francis Mallmann is an absolute gem for cooking with fire. The author is Argentinian, and the recipes are really interesting yet accessible. (Except for the entire half roast cow). I make the chapa bread and pork chops with mustard, sage, and prosciutto often. Gorgeous gift that’s different from the North America standards.
In this book you can find a chimichurri recipe and some other traditional recipes.
Also it will teach you how to cook a whole cow, yeah a whole f***ing cow.
And some other meat cooking styles.

You should pick up a copy of Francis Mallmann's Seven Fires. There are several great recipes that use a wood oven just like the beauty you built.
Slowly cooked. You have to take your time. Maybe this is too much but if you really want give a try at making argentinian bbq this book is a must
Seven Fires is one of the best books ever written, when if comes to cooking with fire.
So are these books atypical? 1, 2
Do you ever miss the mind blowing selections you can find in even a mid sized American city? I'm currently reading Reay Tannahill's <em>Food in History</em> and I'm reminded of just how amazingly good modern day US residents of even mediocre cities really have it when it comes to food variety and choice.
It must be pretty stifling to be a chef in a region where black pepper is considered controversial.
Buy the book 7 fires then.
