Let’s go back to sunny Puglia! In this video, we meet 66 year old Teresina, a cook who has been preparing traditional dishes at Masseria Montenapoleone for many years. Today she shows us how she makes one of her specialties: homemade cavatelli with spring vegetables. This recipe happens to be accidentally vegan by the way. You can find her recipe here:

  1. The elbows of the camera person must have delighted in that beautiful setting. It looked like a Food Network set. Teresinas' beautiful, colorful dish looked so fresh and gives a little hope to us with fresh snow.

  2. Hello Vicki, how are you? And I like your YouTube channel and I liked Italian food greetings from Switzerland Andrew and how’s the weather in Italy 🇮🇹 come stai tutto bene starnuti della Svizzera?🇬🇧🇨🇭🇮🇹🍝🧿🪬😉🇮🇹🍝

  3. Y bueno ya van varios vídeos que no se puede leer en Español con la "traducción automática" así q dejaré de verlos….una lástima pero parece q sólo les interesa q lo vean los que hablan Inglés e Italiano!!😒

  4. Ciao Teresina rassomigli molto a mia mamma, ma lei veniva di Avellino. Ricetta che tutti devono provare. Thank-you Vicky for more Nonnas with their precious culinary treasures. Amazing I would say they are sisters. Thanks again. Arrivederci.🙏🥰💖😋😋😋🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

  5. It is seriously frustrating when one wants to learn how to clean and prepare an artichoke but editing keeps moving to her face….? More time was given to her kneading dough, which can be seen in 90% of these videos. When the cook or chef is doing something with their hands the camera needs to stay focused on the action.

  6. Hi 👋 everybody,
    My grandmother was from Bisacciia (Avellino) and she used to make cavatielli (that’s how they called them), orecchiette and marcannali very often. She was a master of making them. I remember we always ate them with tomato sauce and basil.
    UNBELIEVABLY GOOD 😊!!!

  7. Wait this was filmed in early spring??? The garden and sun looks so nice I didn’t think Italy even looked like that in early spring,

  8. The secret to my sandwich is fresh baked bread with good olive oil. I use a lot of spices as well. I stole a generic subway sandwich recipe and refined it over the years.

    My love
    Of Italy
    I started in the heart of the art of the chef
    As I bake
    In the oven
    Anything I make I love with the recipe of the numbers from the Old Country
    Anyone who tries my food
    They always say
    What's the secret?
    I say the way is
    The Sunrise
    On the crops as start the day
    With some gardening
    The way
    I love the food
    In the heart is where it truly starts
    Yes
    The flavor of Sicily
    Captivated me
    In the regional cuisine
    Of the dream of the plate
    Of the Pasta
    I make
    Lots of Pasta
    I make my hot serve the word is
    Everyone loves my recipe as from the Old County
    Someone sees me
    In the winery with the vintage from the simple love
    Of the flavor
    Every moment I savor

  9. I went grocery shopping today. In Canada, in late winter. I bought fruit and veg. Then I came home, watched this video, and cried and cried. Those vegetables…omg.

  10. The vegetables alone are gorgeous but her basket arrangement is stunning. Even those of us who garden have to marvel at such variety just outside her door. Those cavatelli are perfect. Terracina, thank you for the dish. Another great episode. Thanks!

  11. This looks great and I’m happy to see it is naturally vegan. I would love to see how she uses those fresh chickpeas. I’m going to grow some in my garden this year.
