  3. Absolutely wonderful to see you two together 🥰❤ your British accents are so similar, almost exactly the same!!

  4. This is why Italian and Greek are always the best cuisines. Simple and super fresh. They don’t have a gazillion different ingredients and spices. Simplicity, freshness and proper cooking is what makes food taste good.

  5. This channel is educating the American public on a whole dimension of Italian home cuisine previously unknown to us. EXCITING!

  6. Papa you remind me of my grandfather who just passed on Saturday. We used to make homemade ice cream with crushed up candy inside and used one of those machines that needed to be cranked by hand haha. Thank you sir for putting a smile on my face in memory of him.
