Have you ever wondered how a cannoli is made? In this hands-on class, Chef Jen Tarantino Reyes will share her Sicilian Nana’s 150 year old recipe and teach you how to make this Italian classic dessert – just like Nana! You won’t believe how easy it is to create these amazing pastry shells on your own, then pipe just the right amount of the traditional ricotta, add chopped chocolate, and then garnish the ends with chopped pistachios. They are perfect with a cup of joe any day or for your holiday spread.

You will also make traditional, Italian Bow Tie Cookies well known as Angel Wings, which may bring back fond memories of holidays past. Many cultures have a version of these crunchy, sweet, fried cookies dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with warm honey.
