What's your favorite holiday cookie? Let us know because there's no such thing as too many cookies in our life! 😂
accompagnati o direttamente pucciati in un buon passito…. parliamone 😍
I love Mostaccioli!! I cannot wait to bake/eat the cookies we make and adore the Apulian mostaccioli variant, usually the Napoletano or Siciliano forms are in bake shops.
My Barese grandmother used to make orange cookies or milk cookies they were soft pillow cloud cookies.please make them i would like the recipe!
Loved your video. Will definitely try them. I especially liked the part when Harper sang White Christmas.., 😊
Thanks Eva, I´m definitively going to do the Torroncini. My nonno was born Sicily but the remaining italian family live in Florence. He came to Uruguay after WWI in 1919. I always bake cookies to include in my gifts but the recipy I use is none of these.. so thanks for giving me more options. They look quite yummy!
cioppino- Please
These look very delicious. I really want to try mostaccioli!
I am already wondering if you can do a similar video (videos?) in the run-up to Easter? I love Spring and Easter and some Italian treats would make it even better.
Awesome! Thank you!
Have you made Cucidada? Not sure of the spelling.
Eva makes an adorable elf. I’d love to see some biscotti
Send me cookies!!!!!
Greetings from Aus. My wife and I love your videos. My dad hails from Acquaro. When I stumbled upon your channel I found something very familiar about Eva's cooking and even her mannerisms. She reminds me of my younger cousins. I try to recreate the dishes my mother used to make but they rarely seem to be as good. I think I'm getting better. Pasta Grammar has provided me with a perfect reference guide. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Ava, would you make Italian Hot Chocolate for us? I loved the hot chocolate in Italy.
I am making a batch of easy authentic cookies every night this week with a vague around the world of Christiandom theme for Christmas cookies. Yesterday, I made pecan shortbread for the British isles. Today I made the Torroncini Abruzzesi. My meringues both fell when I folded things into them, but I suspect they will be forgiving meringues. Tomorrow will be a lemon ginger bar from America that harkens a German family favorite of pfeffernuese that may represent South America because I took them to my son’s Christmas piano recital years ago. His piano teacher was newly arrived Colombian and took one bite and said “ohh these are really good! They are like something mi abuela made.” He didn’t know who made them and didn’t know I overheard, so I take it as an authentic compliment. My mother volunteered my father to make his very American cranberry oatmeal cookies as an American offering. I may need something more eastern or Scandinavian to round out the collection.
I like the Italian cookies with anise in them that have a simple powered sugar glaze with the round colored sprinkles on top. I don’t know what they are called. My neighbor that lived next door growing up made those and the anise flavored pizzelle.
Those "almond bricks" would be so perfect to build a sort of gingerbread house….lol
There are cornmeal cookie recipes particularly in Americas south
In regards to the Rum: Venezuelaen "Pampero Anniversario" is MUCH BETTER (and of Italian import), i HATE spiced rum, "The Captain" is absolute nasty in all versions! 😮😉🇮🇹🍻
Vi ho scoperto solo ora, ma sarete sicuramente tra i miei canali preferiti, siete genuini e fantastici, come degli amici che conosci da anni e fa sempre piacere incontrare.
Why does she look old enough to be your mother?
Oh my gosh when I was a girl we would purchase the nougat squares they would come in tiny boxes . My mom would make Italian egg cookies that were iced and sprinkles on top . ❤️
