    I love your videos and this new format is very nice-seeing the younger generation adopting your recipes. I so enjoy you as an 80 yr old daughter of a Sicilian mother whose maiden name was Ragusa (I believe the city in Italy where you were born). I so miss sharing the traditions and food with my daughters who live far away and I never see. You and your grandchildren are so sweet! Thank you for your videos and I hope you are back in your home soon.

    Giovanna, Francesca, Howard, you are the family that I have lost - my new family. Thank you for sharing yourselves, your lives, your customs, your foods, your loving spirts with me. You're a lifeline for me.

    I just loved this new format for your videos! What better than to watch someone else try to actually make a recipe that Giovanna, the professional chef, originally made in another video. And Francesca is so photogenic too! Loved the A la proxima volte ending carrying on the tradition set by Giovanna. Brava!

      Happy New Year to you and Steve ❤️ my cell phone is showing me only half of your message, but I want to get back to you before I lose it altogether!
      I’m glad that you like 👍🏽 the new format. Francesca works her magic in every video and she’s a first class editor! ❤️😍❤️

    We love your channel. This format was fun to watch. My husband and I just love seeing the family together. Cooking is fun by itself but how much more enjoyable when we cook and enjoy good food and drinks together between generations. Love it!

    You are the sweetest lovely peope. It is good to know that you are alright. We have wondered whereyou were. Thank you to the entire wonderful family for sharing with us so generously! As a child, and as an adult, I love the chocolate pudding skin.

    My wife loves her hot chocolate and I'm pretty sure I'm going to blow her away with this recipe! Thank you guys so much for all that you do. You are enhancing my kitchen with every video. You also remind me of my Nona, a beautiful Sicilian woman just like you. I miss her dearly. I miss her cooking, which I never got any of the recipes to. But you are making so many of the things she used to make for me and all the other kids. Thank you so much!
    I do have a request. There was this very simple pasta dish she used to make for us all the time. I don't know its name. It was just macaroni and lentils. I believe it was possibly just lentil soup (or something like that) that she would then use as a sauce for the macaroni. Do you make that dish, or at least know of it by chance?
    Thanks again, and much love!

    Both formats are wonderful ... I also like that your granddaughter is so involved ... that must warm your heart ... I love all of your recipes and make your Arancini often ... I also hope that every once in a while, you & your granddaughter will work together on transforming a few of your recipes to a Vegan option ...I have a family member with an allergy to red meat and dairy ... (*although he can have chicken , fowl, turkey & fish ) I'm sure your granddaughter would love to see a few of your recipes transformed . Thanks for all your great recipes! I look forward to them all . I hope you are back in your home soon !

    I recall the original recipe asked for far less cornstarch. I added more when I made it, because it wasn't thick enough. It's delish ❤

    I'm grateful you explained about the flood. I was concerned when I saw you cooking the egg, but presumably not in the "kitchen on the cliff". I look forward to your return home and more videos. I pray this damage at home hasn't been too stressful for all of you and I hope your beautiful plants which I always love seeing have survived. Love to all of you!

    Dear Giovanna, (& Family)
    I feel so blessed to have stumbled upon your youtube channel some months ago. You have such a nice calmly controlled way of presenting your Recipes, along with helpful hints. Those of us who enjoy cooking/baking, appreciate you! Francesca has learned well, & we enjoyed her little presentatoon this morning. So sorry you've encountered a disruption of flooding in your home. We trust there is a good Insurance Claim Adjuster, along with competent Trades People, taking care of the unwanted disruption of a nice home & household. May God Bless you all, & thank you for sharing your years of experience & knowledge with us.
    Warm Wishes,
    Carla & Joe. (QLD, Australia)

    I really enjoyed the video, I've never made hot chocolate this way but I'm going to have to give it a try and I like the idea of the recipe being flexible and I could add extra little things to it to change the flavor I'm going to experiment with that thanks for sharing the recipe

    I made this recipe after watching your grandmother’s video awhile back; it’s so delicious. I’m American, but I don’t like American hot cocoa. I like a thick rich chocolate, so this was a good fit for me.

    I could not love this more! It's zero (wind chill is much lower) in a frigid Indiana, so this wonderful recipe is being made today, thank you. Learning at the "elbow" of my German grandma as a child...and encouraged to cook by both parents is a treasure I'm blessed with. Will be ordering your book, Sicilian Feasts--it will be wonderful to delve into. *Miss seeing your videos but hope the repairs to your home shall be finished in good order. Every day is a gift! Bless you all. 💗

    My great grandparents on my dad's side are from Italy and Ireland. Unfortunately, I was unable to meet them, and we do not have many recipes from Italy passed down. I am making it so that I have recipes from Italy to be able to pass down even though I have never been to there before. I want to keep my heritage alive. Thank you for helping me to make my ancestors proud.

    14:11 Hello Francesca here from Italy! From what I hear here, I must say that you have a good pronunciation of the Italian language. I guess you speak our language very well. Even if you were born in America, you got to learn our beautiful language, the language of your roots.
    I migliori auguri e tanti saluti dall’Italia ! 🇮🇹👋😊
    PS: I must also say that in addition to being a beautiful girl, you also have a beautiful Italian name. :)

And it's true: The Hot Chocolate in Italy 🇮🇹 IS, IS, very very different, and, I think, better! So I was already thinking about the quality of the ingredients. I prefer real, made at home, from beginning to end, REAL ingredients!
