Meet Bruna, the mobile Tigelleria Posted by on Feb 10, 2014 in Culture

“Purtroppo, in Italia, essere creativi non viene riconosciuto come un lavoro che ha una sua professionalità e un suo valore” (unfortunately, in Italy being creative isn’t recognised as a job with its own professionalism and value) explain Riccardo and Clara, creators of Bruna, the mobile tigelleria.

Who are Riccardo, Clara and Bruna, and what on earth is a tigelleria? you’re probably asking yourselves. Well, let’s start at the very beginning. Here are Riccardo and Clara to tell you a bit about themselves:

Why Bruna? "La Bruna era la mia spiritosissima zia di Modena, della quale conserviamo una fotografia nell’apecar: è lei che mi ha insegnato come preparare delle ottime tigelle, con farina, latte, panna (più leggera dello strutto) e lievito" says Clara. ("Bruna was my very witty aunt from Modena, we keep a photo of her in the Ape: she was the one who taught me how to make really good tigelle, with flour, milk, cream (lighter than suet) and yeast").
 
So, how do you make tigelle? Here’s a video of gastronomy expert Laura Rangoni explaining what a tigella is and how to make le tigelle di Modena
N.B. Laura speaks very clear Italian in the video, but If you have problems following it please feel free to leave a comment so that we can help you.
