This might be the wholesomest video I’ve ever reacted to ❤️
In this video, I checked out a collection of European grandmas cooking traditional meals from all across the continent — and I was absolutely in heaven. From Nonna making handmade pasta in Italy, to Yiayia in Greece with olive oil for days, to Oma in Germany making rich stews, these women know how to cook.
Every single dish looked like a warm hug, and it made me realize how different cooking feels when it’s made with love, time, and a lifetime of experience. Whether it’s pierogi in Poland or goulash in Hungary, these grandmas have it figured out.
Europe — your grandmas are national treasures. 👵❤️

This is your best video in my opinion. Good compilation, we all love our home-cooked food in Europe. We love to eat, cook, it keeps memories of our family. Our grandmothers' cooking is our childhood and our heart itself. I think this one fact totally unites Europe. All the comments under your video are about who usually makes this or that dish with a little difference 🥰
14:00 those are romanian foods.
16:04 That is polenta.
hello dear, take a look to the channel "Pasta Grammar". You will learn a lot about cooking and you will see good authentic traditions. They are very funny
Learning Italian it's easy learning Germany it's hard but the English it's a Germanic language Norway Sweden Finland Denmark Austria Switzerland Lithuania England are Germanic language.
România Italy Spain France Portugal are Latin language Poland, Czech Republic Serbia Montenegro Bulgaria Russia Ukraine Latvia Lithuania Estonia are Slavic language.
USA language it's English ➡️ English language it's a Germanic language.
This beautiful Italian nonna is doing “sa fregula “ a kind of pasta
The nonna from Sardegna is making fregola, a traditional sardinian pasta.
The fact that half of these nonnas from all over Europe are speaking fluent English is slept on.
12:55 is romanian dish
🇺🇸Roulades! 😋 With red cabbage and mashed potatoes!
🇩🇪Rouladen! 😋 Mit Rotkohl und Kartoffelbrei!
The grandma at 16:01 makes "Knödel". They are grated potatos mixed with bread that has been soaked in milk. Labor intense, so it is rarely made today.
It is red cabbage, served cooked (with bay and cloves) soft.
The meat comes with loads of gravy for the knödel.
wow, 93y old granmma from germany speaks english like that, my 95y old granma doesnt speak single word of english
Chickpea soup 🍲 😋 3:00
Im from sweden but i can say i LOVE the chicken paprikash with nokedli from Hungary 🥰
As you like cooking and baking your own bread, check out the cooking/baking books of Dr. Oetker! That is a classic and in the good old times every mom or grandma had at least one of those books in Germany.
They are available in English, too. I guess in „Bezos Book Store“…😉
Personally, I am impressed by the English skills of (most) European women aged 93-100.
Jacob, you need some lessons in Italian, you’re mispronouncing the vowels, because Americans seem to change vowels for no apparent reason. When they’re short vowels, Americans make them long. I hear it all the time and I don’t understand why you all do that. For example, the prefix “semi” has two short vowels, but you make the first one short and the second one long. Why? During this video, you’re using the Italian word, “nonna” which also has two short vowels but you make the first one a long vowel, for reasons I don’t understand. I’m not criticising you, it’s something all Americans seem to do and I don’t know where it’s come from. There are so many short vowels made into long vowels in American English. Short vowels: bat bet bit bot but. Long vowels: date, Pete, write, hope, cute. Hemi as in hemisphere, hemi has two short vowels, but semi also has two short vowels and Americans always change the second one to a long vowel for no reason. Why? What rules of grammar tell you to do that? This sort of thing makes it tricky for you to pronounce Italian words which are amongst the easiest to read, second only to Swahili and Japanese. Swahili? Think the Lion King – Hakuna matata. All Swahili is as easy as that to read, even without any translation. Japanese has short syllables said in an even rhythm without any stress on any syllable, like the ticking of a metronome or a grandfather clock. Tok-yo. Sa-da-ko. Na-ga-sa-ki. Hi-ro-shi-ma. O-sa- ka. Each syllable said without any emphasis. I’m old and have always loved languages, it’s been a kind of hobby to be able to at least read some other languages, as long as they use our alphabet. Welsh is a whole other study! LOL! Find Ioan Gruffudd speaking Welsh and have a listen! You can see it written but nothing in English transfers to reading Welsh! Here’s a town name as an example of Welsh: Llanfairpwllgwyngyll
Yes, olive oil often comes in huge tins that hold six to ten litres or more, too heavy to lift every time you need oil. They’re intended for refilling your olive oil dispenser bottle. Also, Vodka is colourless so he knows it’s not vodka, LOL!
Babushka is Russian for Grandma. Kate Bush sang about one!
It’s fascinating to listen to a German grandmother with a deep southern American accent! So unusual!
