My best friend is from Spain and taught me the toasted bread with fresh garlic rubbed on it when it’s still hot so it ‘melts’ into it. This is how we’ve done our ‘garlic bread’ ever since. They also will rub tomatoes on it. And, of course, good olive oil! Love your videos.
This is kind of funny, my Grandfather raised me from 5 months on.. I loved him very much and I lost him when I was 30yrs old. His version of “spaghetti” was more of a soup with turkey leg meat. He came from a place called San Buono, Italy. I would discover throughout the years that there were many dishes that were claimed to be Italian food but it wasn’t. I was born November 22, 1962 on Thanksgiving day so every year my gift from him was a very special Turkey dinner that was not American. The stuffing was not made out of bread but rather tenderized steak or roast and brussel sprouts as a binder. Does that sound familiar to you at all? I’ve been looking for his recipe now for years! He also collected president Kennedy memorabilia for me which is just a trivial side note. On my first b-day in 1963 everyone stood in my grandparents kitchen to celebrate until the announcement came over the radio that Kennedy had been assassinated. My party then turned into devastation with all the adults crying. Of course I was too young to remember any of it but it was a sad day for many. I’m thinking my grandfathers recipe came from his home town in Italy but I’m not sure. 🤷🏻♀️ His last name was Carmenini and I remember back in the 90’s just about everyone who lived in his village had the same name but I doubt it anymore.
I just love listening to you and seeing your recipes. I grew up in NY and I learned to cook true Italian from my friends Sicilian mom and her grandmother. You remind me of some recipes that I have neglected to cook over the many years. But the recipes come back to me. Actually I can't call them true recipes that I learned as it was always just ingredients and to the eye and taste Thank you so very much for sharing these wonderful memories and returning mine!!🙏🪶👏👏👏

Tomatoes originated in the Americans!!!! And were brought over to Italy/Europe… Tomatoes are not native or indigenous to Europe! 100 percent facts
I love how you educate us regarding Italian food and how to pronounce the words correctly 💕

Just give me gnocchi, and I’ll be good.
Great video 10/10! I love these types of discussions because every culture adapts and blends their foods creating something unique. It’s beautiful 😊
