Making Piadina with Zia Dany

I recently went to the east side of this region to make a feature for Monocle Radio’s The Menu about Romagna’s nationally famous local flatbread, piadina. My journey of discovery took me to Piadina Experience in Riccione, where my guide, the wonderfully vivacious Elena Barzotti, organized a piadina-making workshop just for me with their resident teacher, Zia (Aunty) Dany. We may have the same name, but we certainly don’t have the same skills… I was completely useless but it was brilliant fun!

The feature will air later this month but here’s a tiny taster (pun intended) of my experience that didn’t make it into the broadcast because of time restrictions.

Enjoy!
