The Internet and Forno Bravo

[CanuckJim]

All,

Another post on the wonders of the Internet combined with Forno Bravo. Two weeks ago I got a call. Looked at the display. Never heard of the area code. Thinking it was a sales call for vacuum cleaners, I almost didn't answer. Turned out to be Ros, calling from New Zealand . She wanted to know if I'd set up a bread workshop while she was in the Toronto area. "Umm, okay," says I.

Last weekend, we made Ancienne Baguette, Ciabatta, Olive Boule, Wild Yeast Seed Bread, Potato, Cheddar, Chive Batard, and Bagels. It was a lot of work but a lot of fun. I pointed out that she was now officially hooked and ruined for life. And, yes, she will be installing her very own FB oven in Kiwi land shortly. For her, yesterday would be about right.

We discussed the idea that just a few short years ago, she would never have known about my workshops, let alone be able to set one up as we did, without the powerful combination of the Internet and Forno Bravo.

The photo shows her next to the breads we made.

The next workshop is in mid-July and features Brenda who hails from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Same scenario.

Wonders cyber will never cease it seems.
