Dear Forno Bravo Family,
Spring has officially sprung! So many changes are in the air -- flowers and trees in bloom, the sun peaking out again after winter clouds, as well as some lifting and shifting of stay at home orders from the nation’s Flatten the Curve efforts.
One of the blessings of this turbulent time is the way that people are enjoying spending time in their own neighborhoods and backyards again. Wood fired ovens are a comforting and positive way to take a timeout with family, and to make incredible food as gifts for friends. Try out the recipes below, and be sure to send us a picture of how they turned out. You might just see them in a future edition of the newsletter.
Wishing you peace, and good health as you stay physically distant, but socially connected!

North American Pizza and Culinary Academy (NAPCA) Takes on Curbside Pickup and Other Projects
|
|
With in-person classes currently on hold until June, the team of chefs at NAPCA have switched gears and returned to their roots. What do you do when you have a gorgeous commercial kitchen, and state of the art dough and oven rooms? You cook! They are using these spaces to create delicious comfort-food dishes for curbside pickup.
The menu ranges from main courses like NY and pan pizzas to Chicken Parmesan, to finishing treats like chocolate banana bread, take and bake cookies, and a selection of wines. They have also added items to their line of ingredients and accessories available for sale through their website.
To continue their passion for teaching, the chefs have also increased their social media and YouTube outreach to stay connected with their students and fans. In an exciting milestone, one of Chef Leo’s videos on Making Chicago Pan Pizza has topped 1.2 million views!

Caring for Business While Caring for Community
As we continue to ride the waves of change, we would like to honor some of our customers and friends on the commercial side as well. These are local businesses and professionals who are expanding their efforts, finding new ways to stay open, and filling the needs they see within their communities.
Specifically, let us introduce you to ShadowView Brewing in Woodstock, IL who used their wood fired oven to bake and sell fresh bread when it was in short supply; Chef Damien Polizzi of Original Italian Pizza in Tyrone, PA who used his home Toscana110 to make and serve pizza to first responders; and Terramar Brewing and Distilling of Edison, WA, who, like many restaurants, pivoted on a dime to switch to a full pick up and delivery model for their food, but also served as a clearing house for free potatoes that were donated by a local farm.
These front line folks are our heroes and will be yours as well!
