    Hi guys thank you so much for all the love on this video 💗 I got a few comments in regards to the plastic plates/cups we used so I thought I'd write a general comment to explain 😊 When my family and I get together to visit my grandma (which only happens a few weeks in the summer) she uses plastic plates for cleaning up quicker and because she only has a few ceramic plates since she lives alone. My nonna is amazing but unfortunately a bit uneducated on the current environmental crisis so when I try bringing up the plastic usage I get dismissed quickly. I totally agree that there is no excuse to use so much plastic in current times and I am very aware of my environmental impact when I live by myself. But when I'm visiting other people's homes (like my nonna's) I tend to adapt to their way of doing things because I don't feel like I have a say since it's not my home. However I know I can do better than that, so next time I will visit my nonna I will buy her more ceramic plates and I'll take care of the washing ☺️

      Ti basterebbe comprare i piatti compostabili, sono simili a quelli di plastica ma ecologici. Così tua nonna non deve mettersi a lavare mille piatti, povera donna. E l'ambiente ringrazia🤗

      Ciao Rosi! Grazie per condividere questo bellissimo video, mi sono ricordata di quando ho vissuto in Italia! Volevo dire che sono passata per la stesa situazione con i piatti di plastica, quando ho abitato con i miei ex suoceri! Mia suocera trovava i piatti di plastica molto più facile da polire, soprattutto quando c’eravamo in tanti, e c’era pure la questione della mancanza dei piatti di ceramica. Dopo tantissime conversazione, l’abbiamo convinta di non utilizzarli più 🌸 ma alla fine, alcune volte le persone si dimenticano che la nostra generazione ha molta più informazione sul questi argomenti ambientali, e che tocca spiegare di forma gentile e essere compreensivo con le differenze di educazione che le altre generazioni hanno avuto. Un saluto dal Brasile!

    it’s so cool to see how cultures in countries thousands of miles away have essentially the same foundations. I’m from Pakistan and have never been to Italy but this felt so nostalgic! spending summers with all my family at my Nani’s house was pretty similar and your aunt and Nonna cooking reminded me of home. Something so wholesome about the simplicity of spending summers surrounded by your family doing basic every day things that just feel so much more special when you’re all together. Loved this vid!

Having a beautiful family that cooks for you, going to the beach, getting to pick desserts are all beautiful little moments we often gloss over trying to take an Instagrammable picture. Peace isnt even the right word, this video just felt very unfiltered and comforting. Our cultures are very apart as I’m from Nepal, Asia but it was great to see us share some food recipes.

    This reminds me of my grandma. My whole family is Dutch, so she’d make Dutch food all the time for my brother and I. Chicken noodle soup, stew and potatoes on cold winter days, Dutch pancakes with fruit and ice cream on summer days. It wasn’t anything like a professional chef, but it tasted so good just because Oma made it. My grandpa (Opa) and I loved to eat together! We’d always get Chinese take-out on his birthday. Oma would always buy a specific kind of soda and have it in stock for when I came over, no one else drank or even liked the soda, she had cans upon cans in the pantry just for me. She had strawberry flavored tea and my Oma, mom and I would always drink a cup together (3 generations of tea lovers). Gosh, I truly miss her a lot. Please enjoy your time with family very much, I would give anything to have my Oma and Opa back again.
    And whenever my brother and I slept over, she’d have cookies, hot chocolate and a blanket ready. We’d talk for hours because we didn’t want to go to sleep yet. Some of my fondest memories are at their old house💜

    There is something nostalgic in seeing a grandmother cook, even if it is different food than what you had growing up. My grandma is still alive at 84. I have never once been to a meal where she cooked pasta or used tomato sauce 🤣😂. A typical traditional meal my grandma would make could be fried rabbit, fried squirrel, fried quail or fried fish. She would fry that in lard in a cast iron skillet that it probably at least 100 years old. For sides we may have homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, creamed carrots or creamed asparagus. Hot rolls or bread of some kind with butter. Finally usually a variety of fresh garden vegetables (usually tomatoes, green onions and definitely radishes).

    This video is just wonderful in its simplicity and it made me cry like a baby. Your nonna reminded me of my nonnas living in the south of Italy in Basilicata, I used to spend my summer every year with them, eating the same exact meals that you showed (frittelle di fiori di zucca, zuppa con patate e fagiolini, melanzane ripiene, baccalà...) , with fresh and seasonal ingredients and their love in preparing them. My nonnas are no longer with me but I will forever save these memories made of tastes and colours in my heart.

I really believe in treasuring these moments because we live in the here and now, we don’t know about tomorrow, so make the most of it while you can with your family and loved ones. I hope you’ll continue to make this type of content, which is very realistic, natural and true to yourself, wish u all the best 🙏🏽😘😘😘

My nonna is sadly no longer with us and so I don’t ever visit Italy as much anymore but I long for those days again.
