Cannoli, Traditions Around the Table (2018)

There is no dessert that is more identifiably Sicilian than Cannoli. And it is arguably the dish that defines the Italian Pastry Shoppe or Pasticceria. "Cannoli, Traditions Around the Table" brings us from sheep dairy farm to Nonna's kitchen, while exploring the role of cannoli in our daily lives and traditions. Directors, Francesco Cordaro and Andrea Cordaro, follow Allison Scola on her New York Cannoli Crawl, where we acquire a refined palette for the dessert while traveling along Mulberry St. Bringing us uptown, we explore New York City's historic Little Italy's of Arthur Ave and East Harlem, delving into the dessert's origins in ancient Sicily's Spring celebrations. Food, when shared, is a universal language that brings family together. So join us at the table.
