Nonna Mia!
Канада
Добавлен 25 мар 2020
While the musical turned movie - "Mamma Mia!" - holds a special place in the hearts of many, we hope that you fill find "Nonna Mia!" to be just as wholesome, endearing, and even more funny! Subscribe for the best content from our adorable Nonna.
Nonna (Raffaella) was born in Belsito, Cosenza, a village of about 1000 people, in the Calabrian interior. In 1958, at 19, and newly married, Nonna & Nonno moved to a small town north of Toronto (Ontario), where they had 5 children and 7 grandchildren.
When the Covid lockdown began in March 2020, making these videos seemed like the perfect way to pass the time and have fun, with the added benefit of creating a time-capsule of Nonna's cherished recipes. Making these videos has also proved to be an excellent way to get some physical exercise (especially given Covid) and most importantly, to exercise her brain, to help slow her dementia.
We hope you enjoy Nonna's zest for life, enthusiasm for la Cucina Italian, and her love for her family!

You're great! Thank you for the recipe. I hope you get more likes, because you deserve lots of them. Home cooked food just like it was meant to be. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks wonderful Nonna!
Ti amo nonna !!!❤😊
I wish you were my Nona! 💖⚘️ Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I loved this recipe sooo much, but every time I make it, my dough is like caramel😮 very sticky😢 What am I doing wrong? Thank you very much for sharing this recipe 🥰🤗💐🙏💕
This looks delicious, why no ricotta cheese ?
I can't wait to try this recipe. My grandparents came to the US from Calabria many years ago. My grandmother used to make a zucchini salad with charred, crushed mint and red wine vinegar dressing. Do you know about how to make that? I've been trying to find a recipe and never have yet. My attempts have not been as successful as I'd hoped.
Do you know how you could freeze the cookies?
Unglazed is best. They freeze well in any airtight container/freezer bag.
Hi, Nonna! My grandma Carmella was from Sicily, and I love hearing you talk. Love your videos! Can you please tell me where you got your beautiful apron? ❤
Love you Nona mia from cape town 😘
Wow! Cape Town. You are the first person who has ever written me from South Africa. I’m so excited. 🥰😍

Grazie cara. 🥰
Hello, Nonna I miss you very much Are we going to have some new videos? All the best to you and your family 💖
I hope so cara … 💛🙏
Sounds nice but the almonds are not written in the recipe ingredients.. but they look delicious⚘️
Grazie. Sorry. It’s not clearly written. “First, Nonna roasts up 2 cups of almonds at about 325 for approximately 12-15 min. She then chops up half and leaves the rest whole. Nonna uses almonds with the skin on, though some prefer blanched almonds - both are great, use whatever you prefer.”
my family is from Cozens as well, Rendi is where my grandmother was born. and other family is still in Cozens.
Wonderful! My cousin lives in Rendi too!! 😍😍
I miss you, love your Energy and spirit. Your video came up and it reminds me I have not made these in a long time, I need to make them again I love it with a cup of coffee!! I hope you had a wonderful Mothers’ Day with your family❤️🌷🌹💐

Hello, what lemoncello is, becouse I would like to make this cake, but I do not know what it is, please.
It’s a lemon liqueur. You don’t have to use it. You can substitute with lemon syrup / lemon juice and sugar brought to a boil and cooled - if you prefer.
@@nonnamia7890thank you very much, you helped me too much.
Sign me up, I want to join "delicious town"
You’re cute. 🤗
Grazie Bella nonna, ora provo a farlo per mio marito. spero che siano buoni come i tuoi.
