Michelle Darmody: Desserts made with ricotta are the right whey to go
Cannoli are a delectable Italian dessert.
When I visited Sicily, a few years ago, sitting having coffee outside a café I saw a small van pull up and deliver tubs of fresh ricotta to the proprietor. The van trundled further down the street and stopped at other businesses and then at homes delivering varying sized tubs of ricotta. I had known that the soft white cheese is a staple part of the local diet, but it was fascinating to see that it was of such importance it had its own delivery van.
