I thought the only way to wait eggplant was eggplant Parmesan. I have a recipe which takes all day, but we love it. It’s the only reason I ever grew eggplant.
I'm in Eva's Italian for Beginners class and one thing we learned is that she's a second generation teacher. Mama Rosa is a retired teacher and definitely passed on those skills to Eva. Our class also made the decision in our humble but accurate opinions that Eva is (more or less) the Italian version of Julia Child!
The similarity would be Eva bringing REAL Italian food to the masses, versus the fake many in the U.S. know. Just like Julia did with French cooking. That plus the difficulty finding the same ingredients here in America that they have in Italy, as Julia did with French ingredients. There the similarity ends. Eva's recipes are far easier. Julia's recipes are much more difficult and time consuming in their combinations and specificity. The Anti-Chef channel does the series Jamie and Julia where he does Julia's 60's recipes from Mastering the art of French Cooking. There is no comparison as far as prep, time, and step by step accuracy. Eva's are far far easier.
I'm searching the world over for a stunningly beautiful, 50-or-so year old Italian princess who can cook every bit as well as Eva. If you should happen to know of one, please put her in touch with me. I see many big days in our future. Grazzi! 😉
Eva should open an Italian bistro. She is professional. Every time i watch your food videos, i get mouthwatering for days until I try to find the dish or trying to imitate her dishes.....and never comes quite right. I rather go eat her Italian cuisine when she open her own restaurant... Seriously...... 💕
@@WinstonSmithGPT Yeah, I don't have any experience other than watching Kitchen Nightmares, but just that has taught me more than anything that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Eva would have to make sure everything works like a watch, and for instance, teaching the cooks how to cook and then asking them to do it alone for weeks is not the fun you have when cooking at home. She would NOT be able to cook for the guests herself. Ironic, I know. But maybe she knows this; IIRC, she loves MasterChef. Perhaps she's seen Kitchen Nightmares as well?
I grew up eating a lot of vegetables, especially eggplant in the summer... so I am familiar with her dishes....caponata all the time.... different name.
I absolutely love eggplant dishes. But especially the way the Italians and the Chinese do them. When I traveled to Italy a while back, probably my favorite meal of the trip was also the simplest. Just grilled vegetables, including lots of eggplant, brushed with high quality EV olive oil and sprinkled with a kosher-style salt. Served with fresh baked Italian bread.
@@dolcemaddalena I'm sure there are countless Chinese eggplant dishes in China. But the one I love in the US is usually some kind of garlic or spicy garlic (sometimes called Red Cooked Eggplant). Especially when they use Asian eggplants which are smaller and more flavorful that the typical ones you get in the US. I do also like Eastern European eggplant dishes, which I imagine are similar to Turkish. Sadly, not a lot of those restaurants where I live.
Southern Italian locks always seem to be impossible to work with, but, strangely enough, never need too much work anyways 😂 Most of my family's isn't quite as curly as Eva's, but, I know for mine, as long as I keep it thoroughly shampooed and conditioned, I never have any issues with dryness, split ends, or knots (except for my beard, which for some reason, I need regular latherings of beard oil to actually keep it respectable)
Ah, as a past opera singer and current voice teacher, thank YOU for the reference of opera. Opera and good food are such a big part of Italy!! Grazie tanto!! Keep up the good work!!
My Nonna is from Messina (the rest of my family is from Catania) and it looked pretty accurate to how she used to make it. Unfortunately I wasn't old enough to learn from her before the dementia really set in, so it makes me really happy to see such an accurate recipe for one of my favourite meals she used to make (which, coincidently was 2nd only to her caponata)
My Mom doesn't like eggplant so I made Eva's first recipe and she's changed her mind. Not only that, but she had seconds! I made a few alterations to the recipe, tho. Sorry, Eva! I used a few more cloves of garlic, chopped and left in, and I added a splash of white wine. It didn't suck at all! Thanks so much for the help. I was desperate for an idea for dinner tonight! Buon Natale, you two. Hope everything's going well there!
MAMA ROSA IS A CULINARY GENIUS. More recipes from Mama Rosa, please? Years ago, my Mama created her own cookbooks. She wrote out all her recipes and slid them into the plastic sleeves of photo albums so that she could keep them neat (one photo album each for fish, poultry, beef, breads, desserts...). Mama Rosa's recipes deserve to be preserved for posterity.
I so fell in love with eggplant parmigiana I started making it with homemade sauce (thank you Eva) about every week. I even now have 2 eggplant bushes to have all fresh ingredients.
My father LOVES eggplant. I think he'd really like the first one shown. Need to try that one out for him. Fingers crossed - he's a 89 year old fussy man but love the eggplant!
I've always hated eggplant. My mom would cook it to absolute mush and it was like eating boogers. After discovering some eggplant dishes I actually like, I realized it was the preparation method. This video made me realize it wasn't just that, but it is also the variety of eggplant!!! I should try the smaller varieties.
That final 30 seconds, with Eva scooping every last molecule off the plate, has me in tears. I only wish we’d seen more of her reaction when she’d learned the camera was still on.
This is awesome because this year I'm getting an enormous amount of eggplant for my garden. I've had a lot of health issues lately so it's difficult for me to stand by the stove for any length of time. This looks awesome and easy and quick. I'm sure I can handle it. I have a refrigerator full of eggplants that need to be cooked and I'm so anxious to get to it. This video could not have come at a better time for me. Getting old sucks so anything I can do quickly is a gift. My legs are in rough shape from a recent fall so I'll be struggling but I know I can manage these quick and easy concoctions. I also think those desserts will be perfectly fine with my diabetes. As always I love you guys.
The use of raisins in the caponata is not something that comes naturally to many of us but it's got to be tried. The liccumie would be a great followup to the caponata when eggplants are in abundance. Finally, we all love our mamas but Eva's ability to step up and cater for sub standard ingredients to equal their versions is what elevates Eva to another level. Great video, yet again, and many thanks for it.
I actually found Italian eggplant ... just once 😔... and made this. Adding a few summer garden fresh tomatoes and a handful of kalamata olives and fresh basil made this really shine!! Hoping to find the Italian eggplant again before summer is gone. Thanks for a great recipe.
Caponata is one of our favorite dishes as well! Every household and restaurant have their version of this typical Sicilian sweet and savory dish! BRAVO!
Eva is such a cool cook. No drama, just gets on and does it. Of course she has every kitchen gagit imaginable, but I think she could cook just as well without them. She is a totally awesome woman. And her hair is glorious. Love you two .
Lol as a math teacher I like your counting at the beginning… but seriously as always I loved the video. High quality, great recipes, and the great banter between both of you, who are each extremely likeable
Well she did it again she has the hands of a surgeon I am so blown away with some of her recipes I have made Italian food most of my life and she continues to show me real authentic food from the gods thank you both.
My family has been watching your videos. My 15 year old son is obsessed with Italian food thanks to your channel. He begged and pleaded to get eggplant to try some of these recipes. We made the Pasta alla Norma. I was skeptical but it was one of the best dishes I have ever eaten. Thank you for inspiring my family to try to new foods! Blessings to you both.
I don’t know if I’ll ever find a love for egg plant, but I was loving the music of the video. Reminds me of my childhood so very much. When I cook I listen and sing my most favorite arias.
I find the choice of music very nice, instead of the usual “Tarantelle” (which are obviously also beautiful) that many abroad put on with videos of Italian recipes. But Italian music, as we well know, is not made only of Tarantelle.
I follow Vincenzo Plate and your video showed up in my feed. I've binge watch so many videos and already bought semolina flour and ordered Misen chef knife!! I also now know why I dont love eggplant (Maine). You are my new favorite internet couple.
Hi Eva and Harper, today (lightly snowing outside) I have made a LARGE pan of caponata inspired on your recipe 'di melanzana'. I added pastinaak (don't the englis h word) 'cause it was in my pantry. Long story short: This is EXCELLENT ! Have put one batch in a container in the fridge (for tomorrow hehe) and now finishing licking out the pan. Thank you for the inspiration and video. Best wishes from the Nederlands, huggs, FleurPuk ❤🎉❤🎉
Eva you are a gem! You have transformed my kitchen. I have made several of your dishes and they all turn out so good. My 2 toddlers love the dishes too...they know quality food when they taste it I guess 😅
Veggie cobbler is a new favorite and great way to use eggplant. I wanted to make ratatouille but was feeling lazy... so I just cubed eggplant, zucchini and tomatoes, sauteed them and topped with a walnut, breadcrumb, parm cheese topping and 😘 yum
I am a better cook for my family because I watch Eva. I don't read the recipes, I watch what she does. My mother-in-law was Italian and a good cook and it's because it's not the recipes but the love you put in the cooking! Its the WAY they do it, the method. You add good fresh ingredients to love and boom! Fantastico We had Eva's eggplant last night. They ate as they said "Umm nom nom this is goooddd" 😋 happy tummies, happy family ❤ GRAZI EVA
OMG! I made Mama Rosa’s eggplant tonight with fresh purple finger eggplant from my garden and they were so delicious! I could have eaten the entire bowl! This is my new favorite eggplant dish! Thank you Eva and Harper!
Harper, I LOVE the music you use in the background, especially Motzart, even though he wasn't an Italian composer, his music adds just the right "ahem" note to your beautiful cinematography of your wife's cooking!
I love any dish with eggplant 😍my nonna who passed away many years ago used to always make eggplant lasagna and I love it still to this day. I love all your recipes Eva, each dish looks so delicious.
The song "La Donna è Mobile," during Eva's cooking of Mamma Rosa's actual Malanzane dish, was a fine addition and one of my favorite operatic songs. Nicely Done, Harper.
Great video on eggplants! I love eggplants! I am Sicilian so growing up we ate eggplants all the time! Harper and Eva, keep producing these great videos! 👏👍
Hi from Australia....You are amazing Eva!!!! I cooked the Caponata di Melanzane yesterday and it is absolutely delicious.....And even better the next day too:)
Eva, I asked you for a recipe for 'pasta alla Norma' - I thanked you then & again now. A friend visited be maybe 6 weeks ago & I made it. She was overwhelmed just as Harper was. One of the best dishes in the world! Now it is part of ny repertoire- thanks to you. Believe it or not, Caponata is another favourite of mine. This week Eva you have been 'magnificamente meraviglioso'. Grazie mille.
Hi, I made the caponata di melanzane and it is amazing. Thank Eva for share that recipe. My wife is really happy I am just trying to let some for tomorrow. Greetings from Puerto Rico. Update : the next day is extremely amazing
I am not a pasta lover..I have never found a pasta that can make me have your reaction Harper ...Maybe one day I find that pasta place that makes me fall in love.......BUT I just adore you guys ..very lovely to see you both together..Thanks for all the videos. I always smile!
Bravissimi amici! I have lost count of the number of times I have had Alla Norma in Sicily. I couldn't stop ordering it to see how each restaurant made it. 😊🤤 SO glad you left the last part of this video in for us to see. Watching Eva enjoy every last drop would have made my grandmother's whole holiday season. 😀🇮🇹❤🇺🇸 Benessere a voi!
I just made the Caponata di Melanzane....and it is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! I can see why it doesn't make it until the next day. I'm not kidding people, you MUST MAKE THIS! Everything, I mean EVERYTHING works so well together! I can see serving this alongside any grilled meat. I ran out and bought Ribeye's to go with it for tonight's dinner. BRAVO EVA....BRAVO!!!!! 🍆👋👋👋 TAKE A BOW!
I have to say I love the content but I also love the music choice very much! It captures perfectly the quintessence of the artistic trait of the Italian food. Bravo! 👏😍
personally i love eggplant recipes..in San Marzano di San Giuseppe, where my father was originated from, they cook filled eggplant, Love this.. many greetings from Brunswick in Germany:)
Buongiorno Eva and Harper. I love all your eggplant dishes can't wait to try them all. Looks very delicious. Eva is such a great person and a wonderful teacher on how to cook authentic Italiano food. Thank you for sharing this amazing video. Have a wonderful blessed day today!!! ❤️🥰🌹❤️
Love you guys so much. I feel like I am enjoying the food as you eat it. I have a large smile when I see you so excited with your meal. thanks so much for sharing with us you’re recipes and experience.
Buona domenica! What's your favorite eggplant dish?
Moussaka.
Although I’m also fond of Ratatouille, Spaghetti alla norma, Parmaciana, Malanzane alla funghetti, etc…
Hello Eva and Harper, is the eggplant drained (salted) before using? Eggplant dessert, I am so confused. I will give it a try. Thank you
I have so many favorites ,on pasta but have say my Nona. caponata was amazing you literally lick your finger eating it with Bread yummmmmmmm
I thought the only way to wait eggplant was eggplant Parmesan. I have a recipe which takes all day, but we love it. It’s the only reason I ever grew eggplant.
Pasta alla Norma! 🍆🍝😋
Ciao Guys I am coming over to eat so get more eggplants
All the eggplants in the world! 😂
Sure would like to see your eggplant dishes too Vincenzo ❤️
Maybe not they use Barriila pasta which we all know you hate for some biological reasons 🙄Barrila pasta is PAR EXCELLENCE!!!!😊👌👌👌👌
What about Decco pastsa?

I think this may be the most majestic Eva's hair has ever been. Is it the eggplants? I choose to believe yes.

Me and my wife toured Sicily for our honeymoon many years ago. We only ate bread and caponata because we couldn‘t afford anything more expensive 🤩😋

Harper and Eva: Your videos just keep getting better and better! Ciao!!
Eggplant. My favorite. And the Radetzky March as background music! Caponata!
And believe me the caponata is so much better the next day you wouldn't believe it I totally agree. I ate it over pasta and it was phenomenal!
I just made the first recipe . Oh boy its so good :) , will cook t again very soon . Thank you for the recipe its amazing !!
I've always hated eggplant. My mom would cook it to absolute mush and it was like eating boogers. After discovering some eggplant dishes I actually like, I realized it was the preparation method. This video made me realize it wasn't just that, but it is also the variety of eggplant!!! I should try the smaller varieties.
I actually like mushy eggplant in baba ganoush, but otherwise it needs a bit of texture.
That final 30 seconds, with Eva scooping every last molecule off the plate, has me in tears. I only wish we’d seen more of her reaction when she’d learned the camera was still on.
My grandmother made this and called it Caponatina. It was very similar to this, but she included anchovies and very tart olives. Its my favorite!!!

The use of raisins in the caponata is not something that comes naturally to many of us but it's got to be tried.
The liccumie would be a great followup to the caponata when eggplants are in abundance.
Finally, we all love our mamas but Eva's ability to step up and cater for sub standard ingredients to equal their versions is what elevates Eva to another level.
Great video, yet again, and many thanks for it.

I made your recipe for caponata and just couldn’t stop eating it. Delicious to the max
God, Eva, the emotion in your voice when you inhale the scent of those peppers 🥰
Love the sound of the tuba, so Italian
Eva is such a cool cook.
No drama, just gets on and does it.

Nothing like rigatoni with eggplant. Omg delicious
You are perfect and I learned a lot. Good luck dear Eva.

I just made the Caponata di Melanzane....and it is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! I can see why it doesn't make it until the next day. I'm not kidding people, you MUST MAKE THIS! Everything, I mean EVERYTHING works so well together! I can see serving this alongside any grilled meat. I ran out and bought Ribeye's to go with it for tonight's dinner. BRAVO EVA....BRAVO!!!!! 🍆👋👋👋 TAKE A BOW!
So glad you liked it!!! 😋
We just got through making the pasta alla Norma. Outstanding! All I can say is Thank You for sharing! Now on to the rest!
This is great. Thank you. I love a new channel.
That's definitely 'the sound of happiness' - I savour those moments when I hear (and see) that 😉😋...Liccumie looks and sounds a winner too! 👍😃
I have to say I love the content but I also love the music choice very much! It captures perfectly the quintessence of the artistic trait of the Italian food. Bravo! 👏😍
