The master of bread
What is Mangirò
1. take some of the best chefs and patissiers of Bologna
2. ask them to prepare original dishes based on bread
3. place them in natural frames between woods, fields and small hamlets around Monghidoro
4. create a caravan of passionate foodies who would like to spend a funny Sunday together among food, wine and nature.
What happened this year
After being divided in two groups, coupled with two different menus with dishes based on bread, we started our walk with just one rule: share. Not only the heat, the path and the laughter but especially the food.
After breakfast with fresh milk, bread and jam, we started to discover a complete menu served directly by the chefs, hidden in six small villages. Gino Fabbri, the best pastry in the world 2016, offered a croissant at Cà del Tosco. Then Daniele Reponi, the master of Panino in Modena, prepared a crescenta with cooked ham, apricot and confit tomatoes to start our walk with the right amount of strength. The antipasti served at Fradusto and Cà di Morandone were made by Da Francesco and Quanto Basta, some of the places recommended in our foodie map of Bologna.
During the walk between woods, lavender fields and farmhouses, we stopped under the trees to listen to live music played by Orchestra Senza Spine, an association of young professional musicians.
The main dishes were prepared by 2 of my favourite chefs of Bologna: Mario Ferrara of Scaccomatto and Max Poggi.
Local wine and beer at every stop made the atmosphere even more relaxed and cheerful.
Some secret photos of me and Caterina with Poggi’s burger (bis and tris) are already part of Taste Bologna’s history.
