Learn how to make the Sicilian Specialties : Arancini & Cannoli in this hands-on class with Daniela - owner of Baked by D.
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!

Menu
Arancini with fillings (Fried Italian Rice Balls)
Cannoli with Sweet Ricotta Filling

All classes are hands-on. Everything will be made from scratch and by hand.

We eat what we make! Enjoy the fried arancini and fresh cannoli at the end of class.

Classes are held at IL LABORATORIO - a new cooking class kitchen located at 3101 Guess Rd.

All participants receive a Class Recipe Book via email after the class with the recipes from the class.
