Sweet Ricotta Cream, High School Students, and I
It may not be the season exactly for cuccìa, but in lieu of researching and writing a post, I spent the night making the wheatberry ricotta pudding pictured along with cannoli cream for dozens of cannoli, not pictured… All for a lecture/presentation tomorrow about the feasts and foods of Sicily at a high school in…
The Way To My Heart
Happy Valentine’s Day! Hearts made from the same pastry as cannoli shells?! Why, yes! Now, just add ricotta mousse and fresh strawberries, and you’ve found the way to *my* heart … and seen a preview of the dessert for our Experience Sicily Valentine’s Sicilian Style dinner on Saturday night, 16 February. We’ve got one seat…
Cannoli Documentary Now Viewable On Amazon Prime
It’s out!

Cannoli Crawl Smiles
Today’s Cannoli Crawl was packed with smiles! Our Cannoli Connoisseurs voted Polosud number 1… But it was a toss-up between numbers two and three (Caffe Palermo and/or Pasticceria Rocco).

Become A Cannoli Connoisseur
Too often I’ve had people tell me that they don’t like cannoli. But to me, that’s like saying you don’t like red wine. Because like red wine, each cannolo (in Italian, the singular of cannoli) has a distinct flavor, texture, and ultimately, culinary experience that is dependent on how it’s made, the ingredients used, and…
It’s The People
I love sharing Sicily with you. And the New York City walking and tasting tour I’ve created enables me to do that State side–as much as one can! Saturday’s Cannoli Crawl was a joyful experience of sights, sounds, tastes, and people, like our Experience Sicily client (for whom we designed a tour last year), Susan,…
Cannoli: Traditions Around The Table
My breath has been taken away by this beautiful documentary film, Cannoli: Traditions Around the Table, made by Andrea and Francesco Cordaro of Fusion Box Films. I feel so blessed to have been a part of it as the cannoli expert. This evening was a private, industry screening. When available for general viewing online, I’ll…
Cannoli: The Gateway To My Heritage
Cannoli were the gateway to my Italian and Sicilian heritage. Yup, the Cannoli Crawl and Experience Sicily stem from my love of this world-renowned pastry. Growing up, I thought everyone ate cannoli for holidays. I didn’t know it was an Italian dessert. Today, I know a lot about cannoli, and I love sharing an outstanding…
