Thanks for watching the video LEARNING OLD ITALIAN RECIPES WITH MY NEIGHBOUR ANNA!

  1. This vlog was perfection!!!! It contained everything- scenic views, garden items, authentic recipes, wonderful neighbors, local stories, puppy dogs, I could go on and on! You absolutely did give us your credo for this channel: Lifestyle. Selfcare. Inspiration. I really loved it ( in case I didn't say!)😂😂😂😂

  2. I would love to cook with both you and Anna. Simple food. I have always said that when I go to heaven, they must serve Italian food.

  3. It’s the simple things in life that give us such happy moments. Loved seeing how simple recipes are made to be so flavoursome, and the beautiful Italian family eating together. Thank you for sharing.

  4. It was lovely to watch the cooking and especially surprised that much of the food didn't have meat or fish…

    And most of it from your own garden, it doesn't get better than that!

  5. Lovely episode and it gave me some ideas for cooking, i use that puntarella here in NZ or something looking very similar, i use as a lettuce but am going to try what you suggested and cook it.

  6. Thank you Nicki for asking if Anna would share her recipes with us. Please pass my thank you on to her. A most lovely way to spend a Wednesday pause with you. My grandparents, i miei nonni, had a garden here in Queens, NYC, and they grew cicoria. Oh how I loved that bitter salad. I buy rucola/arugula and have it with hard boiled eggs during the summer for a delicious, nutritious meal. See you Sunday!

  7. Wonderful looking plate! Reminds me of eating with my grandma. She was from the American South. That boiled cabbage ( the tender parts and all of the dark leaves) would have been cooked with a slow boiled pork broth . The chicory looks like dandelion leaves and they would have been boiled the same way with mustard and turnip greens added to the mix. My grandma fished the lakes (Lake Erie) and reservoirs around us and the last dish I had with her was a plate stacked high with tiny cornmeal breaded lake perch similar to Anna's batch. Of course, we didn't have access to the wonderful olive oil.

  8. Thank you Anna for sharing your cooking talent and family with us. Thank you Michele for growing such beautiful produce on those ledges. Whew… looks a little scary.

  9. Anna thanks so much for having us along to view such wonderful food traditions…I am from the Caribbean an area also with its own varied food culture and I understand the importance of learning from adept hands like Anna who can cook deliciously in her sleep!….it was lovely to see!
    I also had a question….not to do with the video…can u advise how you all get the bird of Paradise in your garden to bloom?
    I have several in pots and no luck…
    Keep up the great work!…An avid follower…Anecia!

  10. Oh wow, my favourite kind of video – food, garden & scenery. And of course local people in their daily lives.

  11. Puntarelle is a wonderful Italian green that belongs to the chicory family. It tastes something like a sharp endive with a hint of fennel.

  12. Translating to “little points”, puntarelle are the crispy, crunchy, stalks of the Catalonia chicory plant with a spiky foliage reminiscent of the look of dandelion greens which I grew up with and we eat raw in a typical Italian salad.

  13. 💯 I could watch Anna cook for hours. 🍲The pasta looked delicious, and the cabbage 'risotto' feeds a lot of people for little money. No waste. #Aperitivo50 is producing great content. PS: Their garden is a dream. So much hard work but what views to toil in.

  14. Very lovely video. One of the things I love about Italy is all the colorful pottery. The pitcher was beautiful. The soup looked delicious and laughing that the children won’t eat it😂 Anna was very nice to let us into her kitchen❤

  15. Wonderful video! My mother was born and raised in southern Italy, (Naples).So this reminded me so much of the way she cooked! She never measured anything either—but I have to measure😂Thank you for bringing back not just memories for me, but reminders of what I could be cooking❤️🇮🇹

  16. Good afternoon. As I view your contribution today there is yet again another attempt at snow. April can be so cold, chilling. We do need the moisture. So much of it turns wet when it connects with the streets. It's 4° c. These neighbors that you have on"the hillside" are people that you must miss very much! Indie's dog family definitely miss you too. Holly seemed so excited to reconnect. The food looked like deep comfort. Thanks for the visit.Ciao❤❤

  17. thanks for the vlog, a joy as always! Just to say, that your hair is looking just beautiful. (I am a mum myself so take all the compliments I can too…😄)
