It's Eva's birthday! She always cooks amazing meals for me on special occasions (and regular occasions, come to think of it) so I wanted to return the favor and make her an impressive Italian meal. The only problem is that I'm not an impressive Italian cook.
Luckily, I know a chef who might be able to help out...
A HUGE thank-you to @vincenzosplate for helping me out in my attempt to make Eva's birthday special! His channel is amazing, go check it out!

Big thanks to @VIncenzo's Plate for helping me out! What do you guys think, should he react to my cooking? 😅
Happy New Year
Uh, yeah! Cook some cibo povero from the south!
Hmmm.... YES. Please and thank you.
YES! Definitely.😄
Pasta Grammar feat Vincenzo's plate, can't be any better 💙 We need the reaction!
Ciao Harper 🤣🤣🤣 I cannot wait to react to your cooking. Happy Birthday Eva 😍😍😍 I am impressed with your cooking skills Harper but have you done everything right? We will see 😱😱😱
I wanna see a reaction video.
my two favourite channels! this is an awesome start to 2022!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was so happy to see this video with you working with them! I love both the channels and really hope at some point you can meet up in Italy and cook together!
yeah, do the reaction 🤣 roast him!
“Bratwurst is an Abruzzo delicacy don’t worry about it”. Such a great line.
What an awesome birthday present. Well done
Such a great line. I read that as “such a great lie”. LOL
WHAT ! NO 👎!
I don't believe that
Great… my Italian wife gave me looks as if saying “Harper did it for HIS wife!!” while watching the video. Now where to find non instant polenta!
Jeff
🤣🤣🤣👍
Dude
Not just Harper cooking for her, but also showing interest in learning where its from and what it is to explain to Eva. While he's fully aware Eva knows. Is truly the most loving and real thing i've seen in recent times. You guys are the best. Also happy birthday, Eva!
Grazie!
Yeah could you read her face when Harper was completely messing up Italian names? She so wanted to correct him but she didn't want to hurt his feelings. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂

@@PastaGrammar AUGURI di Buon Compleanno Eva!!!
This is the mashup that simply had to happen. If you have Costco, you have access to Pecorino, and it's real-deal. And yes I want a Vincenzo react video and yes I already follow Vincenzo's plate. 🙂
yeah i like Vincento too , cool video 🎄🎇 Happy Birthday Eva
Love Vincenzo!!!!
yes my 2 favorite Italian food channels in one video, best way to start the new year 😁
Costco and also Trader Joe's and I know they have Trader Joe's in southern Arizona :)
Absolutely. For pizza it's perfect to sprinkle right after you add the sauce.
Harper worked so hard and put so much thought and effort into his wife's birthday dinner. Lesson for the rest of us guys, take good care of your lady, and put some thought and effort into everything you do for her, and even if it turns out bad (which it did not in this case), she'll at least very much appreciate all the care and effort you put into it..
Harper, that was great! 80% of Italian men cannot make what you've have done! Today we had zampone con lenticchie, pigs' trotter with lentils... it is a tradition at New Year but, another moral tradition is that left overs should be eaten... sometimes I like these crazy Italians - before I finish, another tradition is that at New Year lentils bring richness.
Vicenzo: my wife also Calabrese
Harper: oh am sorry
🤣🤣🤣🤣
We wish Eva for her birthday, a hundred of these days and a thousand recipes! Harper is tough cooking!
As an abruzzese abroad myself I must say:well done Harper! On your next trip to Italy you should definitely visit Abruzzo and try all our typical food.
The key ingredient for all Italian cooking is passion, you cook for those that matter to you or that you love. Happy Birthday Eva, enjoy your special day ! Well done Harper, a very sincere effort.
Of course we want Vincenzo's reaction. I think you, Harper, you did a very good job of improvising in the face of not being able to find Italian sausage. Good call adding the fennel seeds. That's the main taste profile and you nailed it, you killed it.
Polenta instant or otherwise benefits from a longer, a slower cooking process to get that creamy corn goodness. Bravo to you Harper, Bravo!
Nice work Harper, Eva's eyes lit up. Well done!!! As a Northern Italian I must tell you that to make polenta you have to cook the cornmeal over low heat for at least 20-25 minutes. Buon compleanno Eva!!!
P.S.: Corn doesn't contain gluten so it is naturally a 'gluten free' product.
That's very nice of Vincenzo that he helps out with Harper. I hope Eva a wonderful birthday. 😊
This is too cute... Pasta Grammar and Vincenzo's Plate in one video! It feels like one big happy family! You are very gracious Vincenzo to willingly share your recipes. Harper it is impressive that you accomplished well your planned surprise. And Eva, what an extra special birthday it is for you. Happy birthday!🎂
Harper, you deserve a huge hug from Eva, you did such a thoughtful gift for your wife’s birthday. Mistakes are normal when not experienced in cooking, it’s the thought that counts. You did all this with love. Lucky Eva🥰
Happy Birthday🎂💕
That meal was done out of love, so whatever it tastes like, hooray for you! Good job!
Eva & Vincenzo are two of my favorite authentic Italian gurus 😍 Kudos Harper!
Happy Birthday, Eva. And dear, dear Harper. Even more important than the delicious food is the love that you put into preparing this meal for your lovely bride. Well done, sir!
Yellow corn meal *is* polenta, the only difference is that it's a slightly coarser grain. (The meal used to make Southern "grits" is even more coarse.)
Since millers can sometimes use the same equipment to mill both wheat and corn and other grains, "gluten-free" in this context can mean that the equipment used for milling was *not* used to mill wheat.
Suggestion: since pecorino is a sheep's milk cheese, it's possible to substitute other grating cheeses made with sheep's milk, especially if you get it from local or regional sources.
I disagree. I'm from the corn belt in N. Italy and I didn't find the yellow corn meal, that I'd find in US supermarkets when I lived over there, suitable for polenta. This was more than 20 years ago so I don't know if anything has changed since then and perhaps it was just the area of the States where I lived (CO) where there was a very large Mexican population so the corn meal available was more suited for Mexican cooking. I found the yellow corn meal over there too fine for making polenta which requires medium to coarse grind (for good polenta). Texture, is very important (as Eva pointed out in the video).
@@anta3612, not much has changed.
But to touch on something the OP said, the types of corn used for making polenta and for grits are two different varieties.
@@dr.floridamanphd I've only had grits once. It was a long time ago but it was very mushy (whereas polenta can be made to be either firm or soft but not mushy). However, even "soft" polenta will solidify as it cools. Perhaps there are different ways of making grits. I've read that grits are supposed to be similar to polenta but the grits I had were nothing like polenta. All corn originally came from the New World and was brought back to Italy from the Americas as it's not a native Italian crop. Rather than a different variety if corn I think it's more a question of soil and other environmental factors that contribute to the difference in taste and texture.
You must search for farina bramata if you want the real north polenta. In the South is different they use only Yellow corn flour and the polenta is much more liquud. North polenta is much more thiker and dry at the point that you can slice it. Farina bramata is much more raw and the final color is more Brown than yellow.
I'm originally from Brescia and these days I get my farina bramata, where I live now (UK), in a shop that specializes in imported Italian groceries. Farina means something different in America to what it does to us. I've ever seen farina gialla bramata in any US supermarket when I lived there. I lived in Colorado so I think in Arizona, which is where Harper and Eva live, it would be also not usual to find on supermarket shelves. I've never been to Whole Foods so I don't know what is available there. I know that here in the UK corn meal for making polenta is labelled as "polenta" but the UK supermarket brands are not very good quality. Here, the only place where you can find a product labelled as "farina bramata" is in specialty shops.
Harper, you really made me laugh, LOL!!!😂 When Vincenzo said his wife is Calabrese like Eva & you said, “Oh, I’m so sorry” Ahaha 😂 Too funny!!! I’m 1/2 Calabrese too!’ 😀👍
Buon Compleanno Eva❣️
Buon compleanno Eva! 🎂
Harper, I’m very impressed with your cucina italiana! You were infinitely wise to enlist in the menu advice of Vincenzo. In spite of not finding all the ingredients you needed, you improvised the best you could. I was smirking when you opted to buy the Bratwurst sausages in place of Italian sausages, but adding the dried fennel seed was a notable recovery. All in all, the final test was satisfying and impressing your most discernible critic, Eva! She was genuinely surprised and impressed. I chuckled when she levelled her critique of your polenta at you. She wouldn’t be Eva if she hadn’t. Hai fatto una buona cosa per Eva! 😊🇮🇹🇨🇦
This is the crossover I wasn't expecting. Honestly, I thought about Pasta Grammar and Vincenzo's Plate and how you both are what I watch sometimes. I never thought I'd see this crossover and I'm so glad I did! Great work, both of you!!
Happy birthday Eva!
And my gosh, I wanted this collaboration for so long and my wishes are coming true! I love both of these channels!
So, Happy Birthday Eva, as the first thing!
Then, I'm following you for maybe a couple of years but this is your very best video, in my opinion: I like how much love Harper put in this, his concerned excitement at shopping for groceries, how he sincerely did his best, and in the end, you can feel the satisfaction for the good result he achieved.
Buon Anno e continuate così!
Vincenzo has taught me quite a lot in the last year or so. My kitchen skills have improved for sure after watching his videos. Happy Birthday!
I think Eva was wondering if Harper had a girlfriend from Abruzzo😉😉😉
😂😂😂
I love how Eva can tell traditional polenta from instant 😄. The reaction video is a great idea. Looked delicious. Good job, Harper. Happy birthday, Eva 🎈!
OMG!!! What an amazing collaboration!! Eva and Vincenzo are my favourite Experts for Italian food. As an Austrian, I love their typical italian, uncompromising perfection in cooking and food production. Thank you Pasta Grammar and Vincenzo for giving us such a great perspective of Italian food culture. !!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVA!!!
Happy belated Birthday Eva, and your husband went quite out of his way to make the food.
He did a great job, even with how he stressed.
Such a lovely couple ^^
YES on the Vincenzo response vid. Happy Birthday, Eva!
“When the moon hits the sky like a big pizza pie, that’s amore…” Happy birthday, Eva. 🥳 Good job, Harper. 👍🏾
I already follow Vincenzo. He is great and Harper was in good hands. Harper you did great and made Eva proud. 😊 Happy birthday Eva! 🥳 I can’t wait to see Vincenzos reaction video 😂
I love this so much! My 2 favorite youtubers collabing. What a year this will be.
I Love VIncenzo’s Plate!!! He is fantastic with connecting to his comment section, no matter how old the video and I was HOPING this collaboration would happen!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Happy Birthday Eva!!!
Happy birthday Eva 🌹... what a thoughtful gift from Harper. I feel the passion come through the video and Vincenzo was a great collaboration 💖
Nice, two champions together :) When the olive oil is integrated in the sauce its done.
Great job, fantastic Harper! I could literally smell it through my phone 😂😋 Vincenzo so good to see you around this channel, what an epic collab! 🤗 Happy Birthday to Eva 🥳🥂
I think this is the sweetest thing that a guy can do! Harper, just doing this ranks you at the top!!! Eva is very lucky! Happy Birthday, Eva!
Happy Birthday, Eva. And it looked like a good meal. And Vincenzo doing a reaction is just icing on the cake.
At last! My 2 favorite Italian cooking channels coming together ❤️
Really impressed Harper. So delighted that Eva received the food she deserved - delicious and from the heart.
I can't get enough of this video it makes me smile wide. God bless you Harper good job man
I loved this video- Harper did a fantastic job at cooking these new recipes for the first time! Bravo Harper! ♥️
My two favorite YT shows come together in one video, this makes my day! Love you all, for showing us your amazing Italian food.
Tanti auguri di buon compleanno Eva!!!! A huge congratulations to Harper for such great efforts and accomplishments! Grazie per tutto il tuo aiuto, Vincenzo!! And YES!!! We do want a reaction video from you. I love both your channels. They have helped me so much to connect to my Italian roots, although my family is from Livorno. You need to make cacciucco or riso nero one day. I love riso nero!!!
Happy birthday, Eva!!
Well done, Harper! Even if everything wasn't 100% Italian perfect, you put a lot of thought, effort and love into that meal and that is the greatest gift. Bravo!
I was so pleased to see recipes from my ancestral region of Abruzzo (though, I've recently learned there is also Calabrese in my family tree!), and to be introduced to Vincenzo and his channel. This was a great collaboration! Ciao!
I had a smile during every minute of this video! And yes I'd like to see a reaction video from Vincenzo!
I was reacting to the video! Yelling at you when the water was to high for your egg dessert! The sausage! 🤣 aye, the polenta! My wife tried to cook for me once. She pulled a recipe off the internet for chili. I got home and tasted it, and there was this taste of cinnamon in there. I asked, “did you put cinnamon in there?” She says, no! There’s cinnamon in there! She fessed up five minutes later. You can’t get it past the cooks my friend. However, it was impressive! You tried and you conquered every dish, they’ll be even better the more you cook! Bravo!
Cinnamon in chili? Interesting, I might try that 😄
Happy Birthday love you both🎂🎉❤
@@natviolen4021 if you like a middle eastern flair to your chili go for it. I’ve never been one for cinnamon being used in savory dishes. Plus, I’m a traditionalist and will only go so far in regards to my chili. It’s like if someone was to tell Eva they put cinnamon in the lasagna. I’m sure Eva may take offense to that.
@@paulcarter6962 Cinnamon in savory dishes is not only a Middle Eastern thing. It also was used in medieval European cooking and still is in Chinese cuisine..
Well, I might experiment with it although I'm a bit reluctant about the combination with tomatoes. Anyway, that's how new dishes evolve. I can call it chili Nat style then.
One thing that remains for Harper is to learn cursing in Italian and by then he should be granted a citizenship
Oh my god! Harper is sooooo sweet... he looked so proud of himself ☺️Bless him😊Eva is a lucky woman... all the best to you guys❤️
Well done Harper! What a thoughtful gift. We all loved it, and now I can follow Vincenzo too. I finally discovered that my great grandfather was from L’Aquila in Abruzzo and I really want to learn more about the cooking from that region because it’s so different from my Sicilian side. So thank you Harper for making so many people so happy on Eva’s birthday. And finally HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVA ❤️
Happy Birthday Eva! Excellent job Harper everything looked great! Eva deserved to have something this nice done for her birthday. I definitely want to see that reaction video I hope he’s not too harsh.
That’s so sweet and romantic! What a nice 2022 start! Happy birthday Eva and Harper , you are a truly gentleman Italian style! Bravo!
I am so happy there is harmony, flavor and love in your home. You two are a wonderful couple.
Well done Harper! I used to live in the States (it was over 20 years ago) and I remember that the regular cornmeal and corn flour you could get at the supermarket were not suitable for making polenta. I'm from N. Italy so I'm not a fan of instant polenta either. I imagine polenta isn't easy to find over there. Here where I live now (UK) I've only been able to find non instant polenta at a shop that specializes in imported Italian groceries. Where does Eva buy hers? Harper: you'll have to find out where Eva does her shopping!
Oh that's sad. I'm from Germany and you can find both instant and non instant polenta at most supermarkets, but we do have quite a big Italian population and Polenta seems to be popular enough amongst Germans as well...
Two of my favorite Italian cooking channels in collaboration? The infinite Ryans in the quantum multiverse are all happy.
Happy New Year's to you guys.
Buon compleanno Eva. What a great combination to bring Italy, America and Australia together! Well done Harper!
Happy Birthday Eva!
What a trooper, Harper! So sweet!
Happy birthday Eva!
Harper you did an awesome job!
How cool you asked Vincenzo for help!!
I wonder what he thinks! Definitely going to try the balls and the dessert!
Happy Birthday, Eva! 🎉🥳 Wishing you your best year yet! ✨
Harper, this was such a loving gesture. If my husband reads this comment, I don’t care what you make just be sure to wash the dishes 😬♥️
You did great Harper! The look of shock on Eva's face said it all. You couldnt have chosen a better advisor - I learned to cook Italian food from Eva and Vincenzo :D
Love Vincenzo Plate. Abruzzo through and through!!!
I love Vincenzo! Y’all introduced me to his channel! He is hilarious with the video reactions! I am so proud of you cooking for Eva! Happy birthday Eva!
Fantastic! Really enjoyed watching this. Yes please, I'd like to see the chef's reaction. Happy birthday, Eva!
Brought a tear to my eye the effort Harper went through to make Eva's birthday a memorable one :-) Bravo Harper and happy birthday Eva!
Grazie!

The key here is you made it with love! Any spouse should be thankful especially when you have to cook for someone like Eva who is a fabulous cook! Many blessings!
Yes, that's it, 2022 just started but this is the moment of the year already!! 😍
Happy Birthday Eva, I hope you have the best day. You are both lucky to have each other. The meal looks delicious and Eva looks gorgeous as usual.
Congrats to Harper, that today is unveiling his real cooking skills. He is jokingly giving credit to Vincenzo, but Harper wasn't guided at all during the meal prep. Very good job Harper! (the polenta looked sketchy at a first glance, though: really watery!).
Super fun! And yes he is a great teacher as well. Still bigger fan of Eva. Sorry V.
He taught me how to perfect my Cacio DePepe.
Between Eva and V and of course living in the kitchen while my momma cooked I am finally becoming a decent cook.
Thanks to you all.
Buon compleanno Eva. That was so sweet and thoughtful of Harper to make all of that for Eva. An "A" for effort. Bravo. Vincenzo's Plate is one of the channels that I subscribe to and was very entertained by this collaboration.
The most important thing you should learn from this is "DON'T DO THE SHOPPING AT THE LAST MINUTE"
But what I learnt was you can use a wooden spoon to slightly lift the lid on your cooking pots
Buon compleanno!
Btw yep, polenta is basically maize, corn, so unless you add wheat or other cereals (something we sometimes do in the North, especially with rye) it is gluten-free naturally.
Happy Birthday Eva! So glad to see Vincenzo on your video. I already follow you both so this was a dream come true! Can’t wait to see Vincenzo critique Harper’s cooking skills( be nice, Vincenzo!)
Most definitely want to see Vincenzo’s reaction!! This was great 👍🏼
This made my day; two of my favourite UA-cam channels in one video. I am so 😊 happy. You Rock!
Buon Compleanno Eva!
Great job Harper!
You are a great consultant, Vincenzo 😃
Absolutely brilliant. I loved the tension of getting it right. I cook only for me, so I'm quite forgiving. Each dish is perfect depending upon who is judging.
This is awesome! I subscribe to both Vincenzo’s Plate and to Pasta Grammar so this collaboration is a welcome sight when I saw it pop up on my subscription notice.
Harper being the good husband trying to make his wife feel special by cooking dishes from her country, and doing the smart thing by asking an actual Italian who’s also teaching Italian cuisine - someone you can trust. I was just curious if Harper had contacted Vincenzo through the shopping and cooking process when he was feeling lost. Anyway, I commented just as Harper was starting to cook so I don’t know it ends. I just hope he succeeds and Eva has a great Italian meal from Harper on her birthday.
Happy Bitthday, Eva!
Vincenzo! You don't know how bad i wanted this collaboration!
And happy birthday Eva! 🍷🎂🎉
Happy birthday Eva! Great job Harper. Everything looked delicious!
in my grandmas house we love polenta so much we eat it even cold after a while sitting on the table and is sooo yummy.
That was so sweet of you Harper. Buon compleanno Eva! And yes we want to see a reaction video from Vincenzo.
Been watching both your channels from the beginning love you guys... so cool to see a colaboration!...now all we need is an Italian cook-off between Eva and vincenzo! Harper just get to enjoy the amazing food lol
Harper you did a good job, and don't worry about sausages they usually go very well with polenta. Here in Piemonte polenta e salsiccia (and funghi, sometimes) is very popular, especially in the middle or at the end of a skiing day at the mountains.
Love this collab! Thank you to both channels for all you do!
Great job Harper, that was so thoughtful and sweet of you. You can see how much that meant to Eva. Happy birthday Eva, may your birthday be as beautiful as you are!
Grazie!
Good job Harper! Happy Birthday Eva...many blessings to you! Love Vincenzo! PECORINO....i dont think I have lived a day of my life in 50 years without pecorino LOL. Even if the exact ingredients were not available...you did what Italians do best and made do with what you had...you made it work. Thinking back its amazing how my grandmothers and aunts could make something out of nothing especially when authentic Italian ingredients (or money) were not available we still always ate so well!
Happy Birthday Eva, bravo Harper for the most considerate birthday gift, and well done Vincenzo for the assist. Definitely my favourite UA-cam couple.
Omg...I watch you both!! This is great!
Finally!!! The two best channels on UA-cam are collaborating! We love both of you!!!💖
And we love you, Thomas! ❤️
15:20 Eva's face was priceless, what a great heartwarming video
Hats off, Harper. Having a girlfriend that can cook VERY well myself, I can empathize how you want to impress Eva. And since I often watch you and Vincenzo for inspiration, it's an unique opportunity to see you having similar experience to mine. 👍👍
Happy birthday Eva. Great you enjoyed the meal, made with love and much resolve. Happy New Year too.
You two and food father Vincenzo have thought me a lot about cooking. And seeing this video made my heart smile the wholeeeeee way!
So happy to see these two channels work together! Becuse here we are with 3 fantastic new plates we didn't know about! Tahnk you so much, and HP Eva with a lot of delay!
Happy Birthday Eva! Whenever I want pasta, or to try something new and italian your recipes are the only ones I trust! So glad I found your channel I’ve seen every video ❤️
Great team!! I loved so much this video because these are the only 2 channels I follow for italian food!! I like the way you both promote traditional italian recipes and meals. HB Eva! And thumbs up for reaction video! 😁
Happy Birthday Eva!!! Yes, I would love to see Vincenzo's Reaction!
Excellent video! Two of my favorite channels all wrapped into one! I cannot wait for the reaction video! Grazie mille, Harper e Vincenzo! Ciao, tutti
