Peter Pez, chef extradoninaire, will be showing us how to make delicious Cannoli.
Cannoli are traditional Sicillian pastries consisting of tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough, filled with a sweet, creamy filling, typically made with ricotta cheese. They are a popular Italian dessert, often enjoyed with toppings like powdered sugar, chocolate chips, or candied fruit.
Cannoli, a Sicilian pastry, boasts a history deeply intertwined with Sicily's cultural and historical influences, particularly from the Arab domination. It is believed to have originated i Palermo and Messina during the Arab rule of Sicily (9-11th centuries). While the exact origin story varies, legends often link it to the harems of Arab rulers, where women are said to have created the pastry as a symbol of fertility and celebration. The dessert evolved over time, with nuns also playing a role in its preservation and popularization.
So join Peter Pez as he shows us how to make this mouth-watering desert.
