“You don’t need a timer if you’re using your brain.”
Best quote ever for cooking.
Samantha Godard That was so funny! Lol
Loved that! Cook it until it looks like food lol.
Ah..I disagree my dear Clara ... I need that timer ⏲... for memory -my brain for other things like what to make for supper or beating my sweety at Scrabble ! 😆🥰🍃🌺🍃

she has a lot of those good brain practical things. there's so much backbone to them coming from Clara.
Samantha Godard isn’t it amazing? it’s the truth!
"this is my last show, I'm pretty damn old." *starts crying*

😔
Clara has me bawling again... esp now when she said at the end, "I love you all. Goodbye". 😪 I love you Clara. Thank you for being so wonderful... thank you for everything.... & thanks to your grandson Christopher & the whole family. God bless you all. THANK YOU LORD FOR CLARA. YOU MADE HER VERY SPECIAL FOR HER FAMILY, & FOR ALL OF US.... AND FOR YOURSELF. ❤
Oh goodness, I literally had tears start welling up instantly when she said that, an urge to give her a hug! Tearing and crying, started looking through comments and saw yours first. So wholesome, and her with her grandkids is so wholesome because they both delight in each other’s innocence, it’s so wonderful.
I watch her when I miss my grama. She's so warm.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amen 🙏 ⭐️
Man i have just watched about 10 of her videos back to back she is like my old nana even her hands were the same lmfao
“God put me here for a reason, I don’t know what it is but..he probably does”
For this very reason. You made thousands upon thousands of viewers happy with your videos, Clara! God bless you! RIP
I wish there was a love emoji for your comment. Clara was a beautiful soul.
Yeah,wasn’t she a blithering idiot?
God?
Same one that allows children to get Raped or starve to death?
Yeah!
God!
This! 💖💖💖
@@PixiePost HA HA HA HA HA!
How can she be blessed when she's gone....you can't bless a memory of someone no longer alive.
Clara: *puts spaghetti in the water*
Clara: "I put spaghetti in the water :)"

"I'm not sure why I'm here but I know God put me here for a reason."
These videos were the reason God kept Clara here for so long.
Chumlee ThePrankCaller OMG yes. Me too 2/18/2020
This lady was a little treasure. I loved her vids, history, and her step by step simple and healthy cooking on a depression era budget. Great Job Clara!!:)
P Auluknow i’m this late too
2020 and Im watching mama clara. This was your reason 😢❤❤❤
Chumlee ThePrankCaller I was thinking the same thing. For us to get comfort that everything is gonna be okay. ❤️
Can anyone else watch this without crying? Ugh my heart strings..
Same!
I cry too
Nope 🤣
As I sit here bawling!
I totally cried!!
This made me tear up and I don’t even know her. Especially when she said, “this is a perfect ending to a perfect show. I love you all, goodbye.” **gives us a kiss** and talked about how she hates getting old. But she was still happy and full of energy. You don’t see a lot of that in a old person.
Love you Clara and I hope you enjoy your stay in heaven. Your recipes taught us a lot about how you lived and how to cook!! You were full of energy and seemed happy about your life. You were basically a star, so bright and warm. We all loved your stories about how you used to live and how everything was back then. You never made those stories boring, as we would sit and listen to every bit of it. I really wished you were my grandma. If we could pick a third grandma, it’ll be you. You seem like a lovely lady and I hope you teach the angels some of those recipes.
We love and miss you, bye Clara!😊🖐🏼❤️
When was this last episode taped , just found her 2 days ago , brings back precious memories of my beautiful home life, from 50’s and 60’s ❤️
@@pamellasmith2503
I don’t really know. They just found a bunch of old tapes and posted them on TH-cam without a date.
Just came across this site and I have enjoyed listening to your mom tremendously. Mom mom is currently 103. Love listening to their stories. Just wanted to let you know how much this site is appreciated. Thank you so much for sharing your mom and her wealth of information, recipes and all. God bless you and thanks again!
She made me cry too, she just puts out such a good energy, such a sweet soul 😭😭😭
I just found Clara a few days ago and instantly fell in love... But as I'm binge watching her videos, and I came across your heartwarming comment 🙌💞 and I'm seeing that she has passed away? 😟my Nana lived to 103... They don't make em like they used to, that's for damn sure 💪💓 Wonderful comment by the way 👋🥺
As a professional chef i have to admit I've learned the most from people that are getting pretty old. Respect your elders :)
Truth
So true. May she R.i.p 💛🧡💚
She said “You don’t need a timer, if your using your brain.” Only the old ones speak like this. 😌
Wisdom comes with age, and from many sacrifices along the way. So many young people today do not have a clue what they are missing, by not spending time with a grandparent.
Or an elderly neighbor, they have so much to offer. I believe so much of the unrest today is from not truly having, and cherishing older people, their, and wisdom. “” Respect your elders””!
Clara: you know how tomato paste looks like.... like paste ...... and its red ...
Then she laughs
I love her personality rest in peace
She died?
Panda Fitness This was posted in 2011, I’m presuming she has - happy to be proved wrong, although I’d really hate the thought of Clara stuck indoors during this COVID right now, I think she’s been through quite enough in her life. x
@@DarceVader89 Yes. She passed away several years ago.
She passed away in 2013.
I was once told "God takes the flowers and leaves the weeds."
Except once in a great while He lets the best flowers stay a little longer. Grazie Clara!
"God put me here for a reason, I don't know what that is"
Oh Clara, it's most likely to teach us 1st world, product obsessed, spoiled generation, that we really don't have it nearly as bad as it could be! You were here to teach us how to be thankful, even for simple but delicious meals! 💛 From Colorado
Couldn't agree more.
She reminds me of how my grandma raised her children during the depression. I've been cooking from all the memories that my grandma gave me. A lot of Mexican basic cooking! Colorado here too!!!
It wasn't the recipes we came for, it was for Clara. May she be cooking happily in heaven.
Yea. Shes so lovable ...
If she does, the angles shall be well fed! 😄
Yes, she was fabulous.
God: "Smells great, Clara!"
Clara: "Well, thank you!"
God: "May I have a taste?"
Clara: "Did I call everyone to the table?"
God: "No."
Clara: "No."
You are absolutely correct!
"I am pretty damn old..hahaha!"

Andria B isnt she so cute ??!!
she dead
@@girlwhocantbenamed well no shit. that was a dumb comment acting like you're the only one who knows.
succulent 04 Naaah really!? Jesus Christ people 🙄
It is 2023. I discovered Clara a few months ago and have been watching her videos frequently since. She had the gift of making people feel good and relaxed. I have found myself making espresso and her sugar cookies often... watching her videos while enjoying them!
What a treasure she was and much thank's to her lovely grandson to convincing her to do the videos! Thank you Christopher for bringing the gift of your precious nana to us! We all love her and adore her and she keeps on giving and living!
God bless your family and may Clara rest in heaven looking down at how truly she is loved and missed by so many! ❤😊🙏🙏🙏
"God put me here for a reason" - oh Clara, he absolutely did. (crying) Bless you and thank you to your family for these incredible videos. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭
These videos encouraged me to record my Dad making his favourite dishes before he passed away. I am so lucky to have had my Dad as my Dad. Rest peacefully Daddy. Rest peacefully Clara.

SHES DEAD?!?
@@bugayden2287 Yes. Clara passed away in November 2013.
David Chang :(. I just found this Chanel and was like “when is the next upload?”
@@bugayden2287 Yes it's really sad.
@@DC-vw7yf I wish you the best for luck. I sure your dad was a great man. Clara was an amazing and caring woman. She was like my grandma.
I was fine right up until she said "Good bye" now I can't stop crying and I never even met her.
Thank you for everything Clara.
The Random Guy and Co same 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just started watching her and now I can look back on all of her cooking. Delicious Clara.
Me too😭
The Random Guy and Co same!!! 😢
I'm weeping like a little baby
Clara reminds us all to cherish the elderly in our lives and to learn every single thing that we can from them.
They're a gift that doesn't last long enough.
I sincerely hope that Clara's grandson never decides to take these wonderful videos down. I discovered them years ago, when Clara was still making them. Now that she's no longer with us, I still come back & watch them from time to time when I need a wholesome "fix". My mom grew up during the Great Depression, & Clara's stories remind me of all the things my mom & Grandma told me about life during that time. I'm so sad that Clara is gone, but I'm so grateful that her grandson had the wherewithal to record her memories to share with all of us. Clara is a tremendous gift to everyone who sees these videos. May God bless the entire Cannucciari family, & may dear Clara be resting peacefully with her beloved husband in Heaven. 🙏💓🙏
I didn’t discover Clara’s channel until 2019. Sitting at home now ‘socially distancing’, her warmth and humor are like having my own dear nana back with me. Rest In Peace, Clara. Your channel is still bringing joy to so many people. ❤️
So glad you discovered this 😊
Same! I love her
Same boat
You are right Tracy, how true.
♥️
At the end when she said “I love you all” it made me smile
Me to! Sweet lady!
Me too. 😍
I smiled as well...and teared up. I do not know how or why but I have just found these Clara videos and have spent two days watching them. I watch with fondness thinking of my grandmother and how I should have been hanging out in the kitchen with her as much as I was outside with grandpa. This generation still has so much to teach us. Thank you Clara
We love you too, Nana Clara!
Made me cry.
"Before electricity my brother and me would do our homework by a lantern at the kitchen table. And my father would be sitting in a corner listening to us kids. It was kind of cozy." Thank you Clara for all these heartwarming vignettes. It's a little less lonely when I watch your videos and blessings to your grandson for learning your lessons of what is truly important; good family, good food
I have been watching Clara for many years now...re-watching videos over and over...they make me smile...they ease my soul when I am having a bad day...they remind me of my own grandma whom I miss dearly...they make me laugh...her stories are wonderful...the food is as she says "it is good for you"...so at 4:50 when she says "I always say God put me here for a reason but I dont know what it is" well I along with thousands of your fans know the reasons...RIP Clara God has brought you home!
Very late reply...very well said..
I wish I could just hug her an share a good conversation an meal with her. Rest easy sweetheart....
Eccentric Detectorist's When did she pass!!! :(
Allyson Messina November of 2013
Eccentric Detectorist's omg i see u everywhere especially on sas asmr's channel
I am sad now.
Oh no. Did not know she passed.
Clara: "Nothing great about getting old..." "but God put you here for a reason ". And thats to teach us. Love her honesty
I know.. I love her!!
My Grandma used to say that all the time, too. She worked in a secret shelter for domestic violence victims until she was Clara’s age as basically the resident Grandma. She mentored the women, and loved on the children, while she moved around the kitchen with a slow but constant and purposeful rhythm. Everyone has a purpose.
@@katemyer1955 wow I know for sure that the woman she was around have an ever lasting impression of her in there lives some way some how I love to hear things this the world needs grandmas😍🥰
It's Dec 2022 and I just discovered Clara. Been watching every single video in a row because she is so lovable, kind spirited, interesting and a great teacher. I enjoy her stories and like so many others say, she reminds me of my favorite person in the world, my Grandma. It's a cross of joy, comfort but also tears because of missing her so much. Has anyone else noticed the women who grew up in the Depression, are strong but kind and smile/laugh so easily?
We need to be more like them.
Thank you for sharing your amazing Grandma.
RIP Clara
And
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
As a nursing student that is broke in college, her recipes have helped me financially through school. Thank you Clara ❤️
I will continue making these meals because it’s cheap and it’a better than fast food.
As someone who's on disability and food stamps, stuff like this helps me make it stretch further.
For some reason this comment made me feel so emotional ❤ Clara reminds me of my grandmother a lot, and she'd had been elated. She loved these little practical details that sometimes make all the difference.
Her "last show," yet she lived 2 more years after this one and shared more videos. So glad she did. RIP!
Really?!
Some folks get it on their mind its their time but their bodies are just too strong! For a while that is
Oh, she died?
8 years later and I binge watch the whole show and cried that it’s over 😭❤️ thank you for such a beautiful show
This is REAL COOKING ♡ BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. ♡
I cried too
Good to know I’m not the only one crying 😭
Me to ! I can’t believe I just found her in 2019. She’s the real gem of TH-cam.
Clara 🌷
WOW. My parents went through the depression. Our meals growing up were feasts . We didn't have a lot but we never went hungry.
Thank you for sharing your time and energy to do all these videos.
You have done something so wonderful. You have shared your knowledge with the world.
Thank you
❤️
When she said goodbye, my eyes welled-up! I just found her videos yesterday and couldn't stop watching! She is the grandmother I wish I had. So grateful you captured all of her wisdom! I made her biscotti today and just loved it!
your body is old, your spirit is forever young. love you.

aaaw
God knew that everyone needs an Italian grandmother, so He gave us Nana Clara. She will live on in our hearts forever... Thank you Christopher for sharing your special grandmother and her recipes with the world! 💜
For sure, she was such a delight! We are blessed to have access to her videos. Thank you sooo very much!
It's amazing how attached we can become to someone we never even met in this life. And, yet, when Clara says at the end, "I love you all. Goodbye," I can't help but tear up. She lived a very long life but I still wish we could've had her with us just a little bit longer. She never knew it. Clara taught me a lot in her videos and she also got me through some rough times in the past couple of years, too. What a sweet lady.
I believe this is my third time watching through Clara’s videos. And the thing that strikes me compared to today’s living and cooking is how she doesn’t have the latest fanciest cookware dishware stove or anything. She uses it until it’s wore out. That’s how they made it through the depression I only hope that people of this generation catch on to this idea to make it through this next great depression. Love Clara
Faith. Family. Frugality.
1:52 "You know how tomato paste looks. Like paste. And it's red." LOVE her. I can only hope to live half the life you have. RIP.
“God put me here for a reason, I don’t know what it is but..he probably does”
I just love this woman
me toooooo!!!!!
@Old timer hot shot Didn't you know? Everything everyone ever did in the past was wrong and everything SJWs do is right. Except SJWs don't actually *do* anything except pontificate.
We now know at least one of the reasons. To help us and be here for us all, even from beyond. She's in heaven where she belongs, but she can still teach us.
Seems she was making sure we can eat in the years ahead.
God bless her.
Shes the head chef in heaven now
To me, these videos are as great as a trip to Disneyland. They bring so much happiness.
Its 2023 and my heart is broken....Clara brings me joy...just in her voice. ❤
"You know how tomato paste looks. It's paste....and it's red". OMG Clara you crack me up x
"I'm pretty damn old" lmao. You're a badass, Clara. RIP
I know she’s been gone a while now and I’ve only started watching two days ago but I love her! She makes me feel warm! How lucky you (her family) were! RIP Clara. 🙏❤️🌻🌻
Clara: "God put me here for a reason"
Indeed, Clara. You've helped countless people during a global pandemic. Thank you.
He sure did put u here for a reason!, look at all the JOY she has brought to so many people ...even strangers shes never met💜💜💜
And from beyond the grave.
Denise Girmer
Man people are so gullible, believing in supernatural shit.
Denise Girmer I totally agree was thinking the same thing , we know she’s an angel now eating good in Heaven
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Shut the hell up. She's passed away, she was a wonderful woman, and all you can think to do is point fingers at her faith in a higher power. Go grow up. You really have some searching to do.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 You are soooo refreshing!
I thought I was the only one with a functioning brain.
5:55 i dont know why but this made me cry... 😭
I love you too granny clara... 😢
Because that was her goodbye episode and also she died.
@@arcangelmaaze7804 A while ago I was watching one of her videos. The beginning started as usual but with an empty chair. It hit me that she had passed. My grandparents are long gone but taught me some life experiences. We can learn so much from our elders if we just listen. Blessings.🤗
I cried too
Bro I cried at 6:00 when she said "it's good!"
I cried too. I just started watching her this week but I fell in love with her. 😔
I made this today... Thank you clara for reminding me of my grandmother and the beauty and simplicity in her cooking... i even taught my daughter and her friend...
I just found this sweet lady yesterday and I love watching her so sorry she has passed but she’s in heaven having the time of her life God bless
I just found her too what a sweet lady was
She cooked with lots of olive oil--just proof that it's good for you.
TeacherTeacher it is! 2 tablespoons a DAY!!
Recently, they discovered that the oleic acid in olive oil (also in avocados and nuts) increases your lifespan and works just like resveratrol.
Before, they weren't sure if Mediterranean diet was so healthy in spite of olive oil or if olive oil too played a role.
My mom's lebanese teta lived to be 102! She said her secret was lots of olive oil and a piece of fruit with every meal.
Sometimes I watch her just to watch even though I’ve seen these videos dozens of times. ❤️
me too:)
@@leannepedersen1118 me too... ❤️That's why I'm here again, lol. Happy Christmas 🍀
Same. She is as comforting to me as Bob Ross or Mr. Rogers.
It's so calming. I just know we are all going to be ok.
Me too. :)
Makes me think of my great grandma 😭😭😭. We lose so much everytime one of these gems passes away.
I find myself watching Clara not for her considerable cooking skills, but because she relaxes me, clears my mind, makes me slow down and appreciate the simple things in life. I wish that I could have met this utterly lovely lady in person.
When she says pasta day was her best day but all her other videos say the same. Everyday was her best day ♥️
Aw seemed that way huh...
She was saying that the days they had it with tomato sauce were the best days.
Psuffix
U don’t get my comment, do you?
In all her other videos she’d say the same about every dish, meaning that it didn’t matter the dish she had, every day was the best to her because she cherished every meal
Glass half full kind of person that’s for sure.
Of course it was the best day every time they eat during the Depression. If you ate then it definitely was the best day
I love Clara for having had such a tough life she didn't feel sorry for herself. People nowadays could learn a lot from her ❤ rip Clara
I so totally agree
Such a sweet heart
My parents grew up during the depression and when talking about it they acknowledged times were hard, but they focused on the good, not the bad. There will always be difficulty to complain about, but if you look, there's also things to be grateful for as well.
The hardest life isn’t being poor it’s being poor and have bad parents or having no parents at all. Times were as hard for me as a child i’m 41 as if it was the Great Depression. Gas and lights were turned off many times, very little food, my dad beat my mom everyday, she finally left when I was 10 and my sister was 14. My mom became a drug addict and lived in and out of mental wards for 20 years. My sister got pregnant at 15 and did her own thing. And I bounced around house to house with family that didn’t give a shit whether I ate, went to school or had underwear or a bra. In between my mom would get sober for a few months and come get me. We lived here there and everywhere and than I started battling an illness. I’m 41 now and still battling it but try and remain grateful for what I have now. I’m just trying my best to make sure my daughter has the best life possible. A good education is important to me for her but also that she is resourceful and crafty like Clara and me. I know a lot of her dishes cause I learned to cook at 11 cause I was all I had most the time. I lived on a lot of sandwiches and tortillas wasn’t much veggies or fruit and usually only at once a day. 🙏🏼
@@boundariessetinstone5893
Aww. Thanks for sharing.
Watching Clara takes me back to my grandma’s kitchen in Chicago. Whenever I need a “warm huge” I watch Clara and I feel better. God bless you Clara!
clara says she wasnt sure of her purpose but i believe her purpuse was to educate us all on the great depression while showing us recipes she survived on she was a beautiful soul telling her storys to people from across the world we all appreciate you clara. rip
I’m having a hard time financially and I happened onto Clara’s Depression Cooking. It has given me recipes and ideas to stretch my money more. God Bless Y’all!! Love you
Julie Krause bless your keep your head up
Julie Krause what you’re going through now will probably be used as inspiration to others one day, just like Clara.
I’ll help you Julie
@@jayhensley8095 can you help me Jay.
Yes God put her here for a reason.
Clara doesn't measure her ingredients: "By my ear, my nose, my throat." Darn it! Why didn't this beautiful woman Clara make at least a hundred more of these videos??
Sammy Slaughter 👏👏👏👏👏
I am so glad I came across her videos. You can tell she was such a sweet lady. Her family was blessed to have her. Thanks for her grandson encouraging her to do these videos and sharing your stories with us.
Not to be disrespectful! But Clara is the shit!! I could only imagine having such a good, intelligent, and knowledgeable Grandma... She shows how much she puts love into her cooking, and family memories?! Love me some CLARA
"Nothing great about growing old. You can't do what you want".
I sure miss her. Someday I'll meet her. Until then still watching beyond 2020!
It made me cry to watch this, I don't even know this woman but you can tell what a beauitful soul she was. I hope your family enjoys re watching and remaking these wonderful meals, I wish I had videos of my grandmother cooking our meals when I was younger, it would be almost like them always being there with you in the kitchen. As a single person living on my own for the first time, I plan on making some of these meals to help my budget :)
Lucky Lex I cried too. Great comment.
I couldn't agree more with your sentiment. I've watched these over and over for years. I did not know this wonderful woman but I feel as if I do. And I'm a better person for it. Try the Pasta with Peas: it's delicious (and dirt cheap)!
YoreyC Really? Grow up!
YoreyC , unbelievable .
Ive only just descovered bayleaves O.o ... makes stabbing a roast lamb with garlic so much better (noticed nana uses them in her sauce) As a batcheler an aussie method for bread making is using day after flat beer instead of water instead of packet yeast. Nana Clairs cookign is fantastic, never deny the humility of the humble potato nor tomato :D
I took comfort in hearing and seeing Clara say her goodbyes.
As my own grandmother never had the chance .
Clara is everyone Grandma .
Bye bye grandma , sleep tight, see you across the silver white oceans.
Hope you are having an amazing time there
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thank YOU Miss Clara, I dint think you realized how many people you touched!! Thank you for sharing your recipes and ultimately a piece of yourself for all to see and and LOVE!!! You are sorely missed and your presence will be around through the ages. 🐦😇🙏💞🤶
Funny how some people can make you feel like you miss them and don't even know them. Your video poped up on my feed and I watched the "Poorman Meal" video. I saw a few more then saw the one of your passing. It made me sad. The fact that God blessed you with almost a century of living is amazing. I bet you had some of the best stories for your children and grandchildren. I have to agree with the comment before me - feeling like you're late to the party. God bless you Clara, even though you're no longer with us I've subscribed to your channel and I think in the past hour I've watched almost all of your videos. You make me feel like I'm at home cooking with my grandma. Thank you Clara.
i happened upon miss clara's videos a few years ago... my favorite is the poor man's feast, which is what' i'm making for dinner tonight! :) i think it's wonderful how her family decided to video her cooking and share them with us all! ;)
Amy Dee I agree with you.
East Coast Amy - True even in 2018. She said in this video that she didn't know what her purpose was, well here it is. Still going Clara ❤️
Yesssss I can totally relate the first video I watched was a "Poorman Meal" I was hooked! I fell in love with Clara she reminds me so much of my Grandmother 😢😭😪✌😘
East Coast Amy I feel the exact same way! Well said!
“Idk what I’m here for but I’m sure god does.”
You were put here for this that’s for damn sure. We may need these skills soon. And it never hurts to know how to do these things. Even 8 years later...
AMEN !!!💜💚💜💚💜
Saying she is a “treasure” is not enough....her sweetness and humor reminds me of my mother. God bless you for doing these and may Clara know that her life on this earth has touched so many with pure joy and happiness...can’t ask for anymore than that! 🙏🙏🙏🥳🥰
I never had the privilege of meeting this sweet, kind woman, I’ve only seen her through her videos, and yet I miss her. Rest In Peace dear Clara.
She said that she didn't know why she was still alive at this point. I know, she was still there to pass on heritage from the depression era. And teach us about healthy cheap foods. RIP Clara.
I know why God put her here. Everybody who watched this knows why too. LOVE!
yes😭😭😭 Love you clara i love your channel when i die i wished to see here in heaven
288 to be great. Clara is what made America great through trials and tribulations. She is so much more than I am, my mother is, or even my children. My grandparents on the other hand. I remember my grandfather praying over the bible on Sunday mornings. That was our church. They too lived through the Depression. I honestly hope that we as a nation are never tested like that again. But then again, I hope that if we are, we become more like Clara. My God keep us all safe and in a state of sleep until he comes back!
+geekchaser i wish
geekchaser Amen
You got that right. People touch our lives, and we've never met them in person. I wish my Granny and Clara could've met. They both were birds of a feather!
I never knew you in person. But your stories made me feel like I did. You are missed 💜
Gah....when she said "I love you all", you know she truly meant it. RIP Clara 💗
I decovered her last year never miss an upasode I will miss her so much she turned into my Nanna she is in heaven now so I know will see her again. Her family was so blessed to have her in their lives rip clara
I’m so glad I found this channel. My mother passed a few months ago I was so depressed and sad 😪 watching Clara has really uplifted my spirits ❤️-It’s so much more than just a sweet little old lady cooking in a kitchen. ❤️
Amanda Rose Lauren mine too, in March 2019. Clara reminds me of my mom. Their haircut, glasses, slowness and thoughtfulness goes into their movements ❤️❤️
I wish you the best, and have a merry christmas!
Merry Christmas! I'm here missing my mama, too! Clara and my mama were contemporaries. Wishing for just one afternoon cooking with my mama.
Oh she is in a better place now❤️🙏🏻
Amanda. I am SO sorry for your loss. 😔
Okay that beautiful little boy ,,looking over at his Nana so fondly..loving her even more than his spaghetti..Brought me to tears!!!
None of us are Italian, but my grandfather loved to cook all sorts of different dishes. His spaghetti was the best I've ever had or ever will have.
i wish i had a grandma to tell me stories and i could help her cook. she seemed like an awesome grandma and her family keep her legacy alive.
She's probably teaching the angels to cook over there... 😄
What a great lady. She has become sort of a mentor to me.
Just saw her last lesson, and tomorrow her cookbook arrives on my doorstep! Really looking forward to learning and hopefully saving money at the grocery store. 🙏
Never take people from older generations for granted. They can teach you so much more than you could ever imagine. They have lived through things that most people couldn't even dream about. Try to soak up every last bit of knowledge from them, because sadly, they will not be with us forever. I am so thankful that Clara shared some of her life with us before she passed.
I’ve watched this video and tried to make tomato sauce like this over and over. It gets better every time - but I’m not convinced Ms Clara would recognize it as her own recipe just yet. However, it’s late summer and there are loads and loads of fresh, local tomatoes at the farmer’s market- so it’s time to try again and see if I can make her proud :-) It’s a lot of work, but somehow I feel like I owe it to her to get it right!
Love this. What a great way to honor her too.
Have you been able to figure it out yet?
Keep trying we all got plenty of time now with this quarentine going on
She's floating around somewhere on the Other Side not giving a damn about tomatoes. She doesn't need to eat anymore. Do what you want.
@@blupyxi5669 did that make you feel better? Go somewhere else with your negativity it's not necessary
Bless Clara always, I love revisiting this channel :)
Who knew you could miss someone you never met.
What a tender soul dear Clara ❤️ my grandmother lived through the depression and told me stories of how bad it was she had a garden all her life she. Lived to be 99 i miss my grandmother so much. 😢
Depression Cooking? Translation: I would pay a fortune to try that pasta dish in today's society, looks beyond wonderful
well you can make it yourself.
They get some pretty fancy prices in today's restaurants for the same meals she's making
@@carfusz idk if they're the same but they're definitely very pricey. I'm not a good cook but I'm trying to make things myself, it saves up lots of money.
@@MicukoFelton keep trying to cook and you'll be only one who thinks you can't cook
@@d.r.656 Some people make 200- 500 dollars an hour
these meals can take a long time to cook and I can see
why some would prefer to spend the money to pay for
the meal
When she said her mom used to feed all the old ladies it just warmed my heart. At time like now i wish everyone was more like Clara's mom and looked out for our older generation but instead everyone just cares about themselves and wants to hoard everything. Mean while our old are going without because of them. 😔
True💔
brandy marston my Nana used to say there is always room for one more. Clara reminded me so much of my Nana.
Sweet old lady, reminds me of mrs. Nales and my gramma. Sweetest ladies, taught me how to cook and crochet and knit and high tea.
Our society in US especially, worships the young and wealthy. We should all volunteer at nursing homes or senior facilities and raise these amazing ppl up. It doesn't take anything except a few hours a week to celebrate our older generations 💙
Just watched this esposode even after watching a few.
She said she thinks she lived this long for a purpose unknown to her.
Although my lovely Clara you have passed a fair while ago I have a reason for me.
One of your purposes was to make me and others happy. Your warmth and knowledgeable me feel like I was with my Nanna. I wish I could have cooked with you and hugged you!
I lost my Nanna at a young age and although i live in Australia and discovered your beautiful video's long after you passed; you remind me of mine who also grew up in the great depression.
Love and miss you Clara. I feel like you were my grandmother too.❤❤❤❤❤ 🇦🇺
Miss her so much!!!! She was so wonderful I’m still watching her videos over a decade later! ❤ what a beautiful great grandson she shared on the video with us. So precious
"You know what tomato paste looks like. It looks like paste and its red. " Bahahaa i laughed so hard at that!
Ashley Hart I love her sarcasm
me too she’s an angel
Even though she lived a long life it makes me sad hearing she passed. My mom died last month and she was only 64. I keep thinking how unfair it is that other people get to be with their mom's on earth for 60+ years before they pass but here I am, 31 and motherless. Some people may think I'm old enough to accept it but no matter what age you are, it's never easy to lose your mother. Even if my mom lived to 100, it would have still been the hardest thing.
She went on hospice and died 7 days later at home. I was with her everyday because I quit my job and moved across state to be close to here. Nobody expected her yo go so fast be we knew it was going to happen. The day I found out she went on hospice, I was out of town visiting friends. I rushed back home that night and went to her room where she was set up with a hospital bed and such to keep her comfortable and hugged her and started crying. She told me I knew this was coming. Even though I knew it, I wanted her to keep fighting. I didn't want to lose her. Nobody would want that. Nobody can prepare themselves for that.
Even though I was with her everyday, I don't feel like I said enough. I don't feel like I hugged her enough. I don't feel like I said I love you enough. No matter what I actually did, it can never be enough knowing I can never hug her again or say I love you to her again. It hurts a lot.
I can't imagine losing my mom and I am 30 years old. She is 68 now and I wish I could have her for 100 more years. I am so sorry for your loss but I am certain your mom is with you every day, watching you and protecting you. Talk to her and you will be together again one day. Sending loving thoughts your way :)
Nicole Thanks 😊
My family does not want me. I have 35 grand and great Grand kids. Only two know me. They don't want a old lady. I have several that love me. God love them please.
I’m sorry to hear about your moms passing. I know it’s so hard. I lost a sister at 17. And I just moved over a thousand miles from my parents for my husbands job. I’m 32 and they’re in their late 60s. I get scared thinking about what I will do when one of them gets sick because I won’t be able to be there. I have my husband and my job to think about.
Thanks for sharing your story. I know it probably wasn’t easy and I hope you’re doing better these days. I hope that every day that passes, it slowly get easier.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
“We had nothing but were happy”. This woman is special. Sadly, the world has lost its way. I wish Clara were here to save us from ourselves. Lots of wisdom in her simplicity.
Oh my goodness Clara, you are a wonderful person. You remind me of my own lovely grandmother. Many thanks to your family for making these videos and sharing them with all of us. Rest In Peace
I love her and these videos probably more than ASMR to relax. Clara is all I need to fall asleep or just calm down. I wish she was still here.
Hi mom :O Fancy seeing you here!
It's always heartbreaking to hear recordings of loved one's who've passed say..."Bye bye."
Oh my, I just watched this & it made me cry. Her generosity, sharing her life experiences & teaching her cooking really reminder me of my own loving Nanna. Thank you Clara, everyone who knew you personally were blessed to have you in their life. I am so grateful to have found your videos.
Thanks Clara. RIP🤗
From Clara's website,
"Clara cared dearly for all the people who enjoyed her show and read all of the many emails and letters you sent her. Even when she was at the end of her life, your messages put a big smile on her face."
Thank You!
Thank you, Always, Clara.
I JUST CRIED AT THIS ENDING I LOVE YOU GRANDMA CLARA 😭😭😭
Me too..I wish she was Still here!-but i know She's Happy in Heaven with her Husband&Parents!!
Me too
“God put me here for a reason, I don’t know what it is but he probably does”
Fast forward to March 2020 and we see the reason.
That's touching.
I read your comment as Clara was speaking it. That's confirmation for me. God bless you sister.
Clara has been a blessing and a teacher to the you tube family that discovered her.
I keep re-watching these videos.
Bless her for agreeing to do it.
The world is richer because of these videos. Thank you to Clara for being the incredible woman you were and thank you to those who maintain her TH-cam channel and continue to sell her book. I have made several of her recipes and will continue to try more.
Tears.We love Clara! Rest in Peace. Christopher, you are a gem to have done this. Clara must have been moved by your devotion. The whole thing is just so moving.
I love your comment!!!
I have never commented on a single video in my life but Clara, you are a special lady. Thank you for sharing. God bless X
Sorry to break it to you, but she sadly passed away...
Love Nana Clara... She's become a member of our family. I'm so thankful Christopher recorded these... ❤
We all know why she was here. I discovered her videos last year or so. I instantly fell in live with her. I would’ve loved to listen to her stories. Thank you to her grandson for sharing her with us. Her legacy will live on forever now. May she Rest In Peace. 💜
