About this Event

Join us for a cooking class where you'll learn to create two Sicilian iconic dishes: arancini and cannoli.

In this hands-on experience, you'll master the art of making crispy, golden arancini made with delicious risotto and stuffed with a savory filling.

Then, dive into the sweet side of Sicilian cuisine as you craft delicate cannoli shells, perfectly filled with a rich, sweet, creamy ricotta mixture, and topped with chocolate chips.

Whether you're a seasoned chef or a curious beginner, this class promises to be both fun and informative, allowing you to bring a taste of Sicily into your own kitchen. Don't miss out on this culinary adventure!
