  1. I'm excited to see your gnocchi video next week. I haven't had great success with it in the past, but you're such an excellent teacher I bet I'll learn how to do it properly!

  2. Hello, Giovanna. I happened upon your channel a short while ago and have been somewhat binge watching all your videos! I enjoy the way you talk and teach as you go. Growing up, my dad always talked about a neighbor that lived in his small coal mining town in WV. A very nice Italian lady who made the most amazing food. I always wished I had an Italian neighbor who would let me hang out in her kitchen and learn how to make everything and who would tell me stories. Now I'm at retirement age and I still wish that!
    BTW, I use my immersion blender and meat chopper all the time. I like my ground meat to not have chunks. If I want meat chunks, I make meatballs, LOL!
    I especially love when you set the table and sit down with your husband.
    Bless you.

  3. Giovanna—I need your help- trying to make an Sicilian cookie (Vizzin) Nucatoli I tried one recipe and it was a terrible waste of ingredients-do you have a good recipe for them? Much appreciated.

  4. thank you! i have made your Ragu and its truly the best. after the holidays i plan on making more and Bolognese sauce. i have learn so much from your videos.

  5. I’m pretty sure I was born in the wrong body & country. I feel it in my bones I meant to be an Italian Nonna because I slice vegetables, especially those carrots, just like Giovanna. Love and appreciate her videos.

  6. Looks like an easy and delicious sauce. I think I could make this. I love to make a large amount to freeze as well. I love your nutmeg grater. So beautiful 💕 Grazie!

  7. Bolognese Sauce holds a special place in my heart because when I was a child of about 7 or 8 (I'm 54 now) I happened to see a TV chef prepare it on a show on PBS. I don't recall who or which. It looked like the most delicious thing I'd ever seen and showed it to my grandmother. She was tickled by my enthusiasm so she got the ingredients and together we made a batch. It's one of my favorite childhood memories.

  8. Hi Giovanna, I am so delighted to have just come across your videos .I have a passion for cooking especially Italian food , it is my very favorite food to cook and eat.. I love all of the important things that you point out. It brings me back to being in the kitchen with my mother- in- law. she was such a wonderful cook ,mother and grandmother. I learned amazing things from her, l miss her dearly. I will be watching you often!🤩
