I loved this so much! I followed your cannoli journey on your stories. I’m particularly loving the science and trial & errors. Thanks for sharing your food memory - makes this cannoli special! I’m excited for Kitchen Projects and can’t wait to read future projects. xxoo

Hey, sorry might be an annoying question, but how do you make the pistachio filling?

Best,

Mimmi

If we are hand rolling the dough (no pasta maker in my home!) - how do we aim for the blistered look? Do we just keep refolding and re rolling the dough or do we just skip that and just roll out and cut into circles after one roll? Can't wait to try these!

This is wonderful! It is so refreshing to read about the trail and error of a new recipe and be able to relate to the process. The gifs are great and very helpful to understand each step for someone like myself who is not very experienced. LOVE IT!

As it looks like I won't be going home for the holidays, I will try to make these! They'll hopefully provide some comfort and fill me up with deliciousness! Thanks again, brilliant Nicola xx

So glad you enjoyed the read. And I can't WAIT to see your Cannoli. Why does that sound so rude?!?!

Thank you for sharing this! It's great to read about your recipe testing process - I'm never entirely sure where to start so it's great to hear the process from someone with experience, and has inspired me to give cannoli a try! Looking forward to reading your other projects x

Such a pleasure - recipe testing can be so unrewarding at first. Also, if you're like me, you end up keeping notes on 17 thousand different pieces of paper and then you have to act like Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind to crack the code. Thanks for reading and I'm excited for next week, too!

Loved this. I really enjoy reading about the history and science of food, but also about personal experiences through food. So this is perfect.

P.S. When I find my inner nonna to do it by hand I'll make this for sure.

Thank you so much! Really happy you enjoyed the read. We all have a nonna side of us - just remember, the dough REALLY wants to trick you into thinking its thin enough. DONT TRUST IT! Nx
