Sicilian Treats and Ringing Phones
August 16th, 2005 at 5:19pm
It was a night of Sicilian cooking and Music at WLIW, channel 21, as the NY Personal Chefs answered phones to help Public Television. We were treated to the sweet Pastici of Chef Biagio Settepani of Pasticceria Bruno, as he demonstrated some of his Sicilian specialties in the studio. Chef Settepani made a classic Sicilan Cassata, a chilled custard cake decorated with marzapan and candied fruits. He also prepared Cannoli, Regina cookies, and biscotti.
Our members got plenty of airtime on the set, and the people over at Channel 21 invited us to come back again. Perhaps they’ll have us on to do some cooking demos!
