One day,I saw your video accidentally, now I have been watching your videos regularly. This is the beauty of internet or KZread that we came straight into your kitchen which was not thinkable 20 years ago. As usual every human think, eat feel in the same manner whether he is in Ukrain, in Afghanistan, in China, in Brazil, in turkey or in India. We all eat tomato, onion, brinjal, spinach, pepper salt, sugar etc etc.!it's always style of cooking that matters. Nobody eat rocks,we all eat the same thing but cook them in a little different ways according to our geographic availability of certain ingredients,custom and taste develop over the years. And today I saw your daughter, I feel,she is replica of her father! Isn't we feel the same way? Love to see your videos but it's your talking that interested me more than your cooking! People hardly talk these days just gazing mobile all the time but than with the same mobile we can see you and your life along with recipes... Thanks for sharing... Respectfully 🙏🙏🙏

What I love about your channel is that you are perfectly integrated in the American culture, but retained your culture and language. And then passed it all down one generation. I like this much better than other channels where the host only speaks a local dialect, their English is painful, and their kids say stuff like muzzadell.

My dear KZread Friend, Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I feel that out of respect for any language, one ought to speak and/or learn a language correctly and well. I also cringe at the fact that being illiterate in two languages is considered “charming” and pronouncing a foreign word incorrectly is acceptable! I have spoken to my daughter exclusively in Italian since birth, and to be sure that her English was always as fluent as her Italian, we placed her in a Montessori pre-school when she was 2 1/2 and had the desired results. Passing my language to my daughter was very important, but never at the expense of her own native language! Best Regards, Giovanna 🌹

What a great joy to watch you both cooking and serving your wonderful dishes to Pappa! Brings back such lovely memories of my Calabrian and Sicilian roots! And it is not even all about the food for me. Watching you cook is like watching a beautifully choreographed performance with such skill and precision .The little nuances like toasting the bread on the fire and chopping the garlic in your fingers just authenticates the whole legacy of Italian cooking skills. I just found you, and I will watch all your videos with great joy! Thank you to whomever films and edits. They do a great job!

Thank you Joanne, try making bruschette, your family will be delighted!

From what I can tell by watching your lovely videos, it seems that your "Kitchen on the Cliff" is somewhere in NJ on the Palisades, looking across into the Upper Riverside section of NYC or perhaps further north towards Yonkers, Hastings on Hudson or maybe even Tarrytown. I lived in Westchester County NY for about fifteen years and your lovely videos remind me of the incredible array of Italian/Sicilian food available in the area. These bruschetta are particularly appetizing and remind me of warm spring and summer afternoons when we would visit our favorite local Italian delis and bakeries and get all sorts of prepared cold marinated dishes, fresh mozzarella and different cheeses, fresh bread, pastries and cookies and a bottle of good wine and mineral water and go have a picnic somewhere beautiful near water with a great view. Your careful instructions and advice on preparing Italian food reminds me of visiting friends homes and enjoying their mother's or grandmother's or aunt's lovingly homemade Italian/Sicilian food. I miss your food and culture from the Tri State area and your videos are like a trip back in time to my wonderful memories. LOVE YOUR POSTS!

Watching your husband I thought of my mother! She used to always say, "I not talkin' while the flava lasts" she had a Boston accent!! I miss my Mom..She taught me how to cook. She was Polish and my father was Italian. They met and married in Boston in '44 and moved back to Texas after two cold snowy winters! My dad didn't like shoveling snow! He was born in Waco, TX and was raised in Dallas where I was also born and raised. I live in the country now for almost 30 years here with my horses dogs and cats! My five kids were raised here on the Fivehands Farm and they've all gotten married and living their own lives! I made homemade ravioli last night until 12:30 AM, my comfort food! It was delicious today for lunch with my homemade sauce, a nice salad, and bruschetta!! 🍷 Ciao! I enjoyed your video very much! Your daughter seems so very nice!

Thank you for the video and lesson! Made these tonight, had to make some concessions for the olive salad but it was still delicious (went with some baby artichoke hearts per the recommendation, forgot the sun dried tomatoes, but it balanced out and the herbs and olive oil really stole the show). It was a good way to trick my dad into eating something healthier too. 😉 He loves bruschetta, even though he still says it wrong (just about everyone where we live does 😅). We ate so much for an afternoon snack that we couldn’t be bothered to even think of dinner. Wishing you all great health.

Ahhh! Just found you today and this is about my 5th video!! I agree with you about the roasted peppers! We do them on the barbecue grill and blackened them, however!
