New Forno Bravo Logo
Aug 13, 2013All good things must come to an end. After ten years, we have decided to retire our medieval bread baker, the Papyrus font, and our old logo. We have opted for a more modern look, with a crisp font and a stylized flame. We really like it, and we hope you do as well. The new logo is now working its way into all things Forno Bravo, including Fornobravo.com,... Read More

NY Times — eCommerce Sites Cut out the Middleman
Apr 01, 2013There is an interesting phenomenon highlighted in the NY Times today — a growing number of eCommerce sites actually make their own products, rather than acting as intermediaries between the manufacturer and the end customer (think Amazon). Their lead example is a start-up, Warby Parker, an eyeglasses web site. I say this is interesting, because it is a trend that Forno Bravo have been involved in for years. We are... Read More
Stale Bread, Panzanella, Dutch Tomatoes and the EU
Mar 31, 2013I was writing about food waste and bread storage the other day and mentioned that many traditional recipes call for stale bread — including Panzanella. Like many wonderful Italian dishes, it relies on a short list of high-quality ingredients. In this case, tomatoes, bread, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt. If each ingredient is great, then the dish is great; it’s only as good as the weakest links,... Read More

Work, work, work.
Feb 18, 2013To quote the Governor in Mel Brooks’s classic “Blazing Saddles”, it been nothing but work, work, work. haha. Which is just a joke so that I can say that I’m sorry that we have not been diligent at blogging for the past couple of weeks. There are lots of really good things to share, and I will go into more details a little later. But again — sorry that I... Read More
