Holy Cannoli: Our Walking/Eating Adventure in Brooklyn

My Italian-American family has a penchant for good food.  Cooking and eating isn’t just about survival or basic needs for us – it’s a way of life.  An art, an obsession and an ongoing culinary journey. While we’ve taken numerous cooking classes as a group, we’ve never embarked upon a walking/eating excursion. But we’ve often […]
