I ate a lot of cannoli in Sicily last month. I regret that I didn't post them all. I was very busy leading an @experiencesicily tour and being present with my clients. But I made sure we stopped for this work of art. A must! The gracious hosts at @eurobardattilo_official also shared some secrets with me about their recipe and methods. I'm back in the States now and gearing up for many Cannoli Crawls and classes (a private party this Saturday, in fact!). Next Crawl is on Saturday, November 13 in New York City. Spots are filling up! More dates TBA in the next couple of days. Join me to find out about these beauties and to become an official Cannoli Connoisseur.

Seen yesterday in Palermo Airport... It's really not fair to the fruit to have it perform on stage next to the cannoli. (In show business we say, never perform with babies or animals... They always attract all of the attention! This is the same, I think!) (NB points to Autogrill for cannoli shells that have chocolate coating inside to protect them from the humidity of the ricotta!) #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #palermo #experiencesicily

Last weekend, I made 100 cannoli from scratch with sheep's ricotta from @dancingewe farm. What a fantastic weekend it was. I'm still recovering! Viva il cannolo! Next Cannoli Crawl is on 13 November.

Ciao from Sicily! I was thrilled to see @chef_giac_dal in Sicily this evening for the best gelato... Wow! I miss him and @polosudnyc so much in New York City on the @cannolicrawl_nyc, but I'm so happy for him and his family having reestablished themselves in Sicily @donpeppinu. Auguri, Giacomo! Ci vediamo alla prossima! #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily #sicily #gelato

I know this does not look like much, but there is

I know this does not look like much, but there is a significant cannoli lesson in these images when you look closely. I took these snapshots at a street cart in Cefalù, Sicily yesterday. It shows you how serious Sicilians are about not stuffing the cannoli until they are ordered. The shells were in a container, apart from the cream (which is basically done), on the counter of the refrigerated cart, therefore preserving the contrast of crunchy to creamy. So, even a street cart performs best cannoli practice! Please, if you are a Cannoli Connoisseur, you know... Don't eat cannoli that have been stuffed and have been sitting around. I know a famous place in NYC's East Village where I was last week that should know better. Not to mention a few in Little Italy. #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily #sicily

I was in Erice, Sicily today, so I had to have Mar

I was in Erice, Sicily today, so I had to have Maria Grammatico's cannoli. It's been a long couple of years since I had it, soooo... This shell was mind blowing. I know that sounds crazy, but it was so fresh, light, and crunchy. The perfect thickness. It had a cocoa and vanilla essence that showed through. The bubbles were perfect. The size and shape was also just right. Made by a woman who knows what we women want. (Double entendre intended) It was an excellent compliment to the cloud-like sheep’s milk ricotta. The cream was sweeter than I think it needed to be because my sense was that the ricotta was fresh and could have stood on its own. Nevertheless, it was so enjoyable. So memorable! Really, in August on a 95 degree day, you should eat granita or gelato, not cannoli (NB I also had their mulberry granita which was outrageously good!), but for this cannolo I made an exception. (Both and, baby. Both, and.). In the top five in Sicily, no doubt! #illbeback #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia

When you know what makes an excellent cannoli, you

When you know what makes an excellent cannoli, you don't bother with the bad ones. You'll learn what does make an excellent cannoli on the Cannoli Crawl when you join me in New York City on Saturday, July 10 (or July 24). Seriously, don't tell me you don't like cannoli, because that's like saying you don't like French fries. There are French fries, and then there are soggy, cold pieces of formerly fried potatoes. Eew. The same goes for the beloved tubed pastry. Here's one tip, for example: In the United States, our pastry shop cannoli are primarily made with ricotta that comes from the milk of Holstein cows. In Sicily, where cannoli originated, let's say about 85% of cannoli are made with sheep's milk ricotta, which tastes completely different from the US cow's milk variety. It's naturally sweeter and lighter, especially in the spring when the ladies are eating fresh grasses. What about that other 15%? Well, that's where these ladies pictured come in. They are a breed of cow found in Sicily called Modican (Yes, just like the chocolate we love!). Modican cows, most of which are found in southeastern Sicily, make a very sweet and creamy milk, especially in the spring when they are dining on humid green grasses. Their milk makes a ricotta that is out of this world. So, some of that 15% is only Modican cow ricotta and some of it is a combination of Modican cow ricotta and sheep ricotta. The percentage of each varies according to the season because of what the ladies are eating. There is more to this story, but I'll let that sink in! Listen, let's crawl on Saturday, and I'll tell you more! It might just make you exclaim, "Holy cow!" Reserve your spot at link in bio or https://cannolicrawl.com
