    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. 🙏💓🙏

    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’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!

    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.

    This has got to be the best series ever on Utube! Thank you Clara for sharing your wisdom and recipes. So many in today's world take all they have for granted and have never really known true suffering. I know there are plenty of (more than there should be) poor families but those aren't the ones in speaking of. So many fall victim to their own actions or lack there of. The families of the depression weren't poor for lack of willingness to work. In a lot of ways they had to work harder than some would ever consider today. The thing that strikes me most is her love and honesty. She just tells it like it is, Period!! What a generous gift her family has shared with all of us. Thank You! RIH Ms. Clara. You are loved and missed by more than you can imagine❣😘😇🙏🏼👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✝💞💞💞💞💞💞

    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. 🙏

    That grandson there. He's so into the texture of the spaghetti. Makes me think he might make his own one day from scratch. The next generation of great Italian cooking!

    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.

    Funny how some people can make you feel like you miss them and don't even know them. Your video popped 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.

    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.❤❤❤❤❤ 🇦🇺

    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. 💜

    As I wipe my tears my grandmother was born the same year as dear Clara and boy do they speak in the same way!! It's unbelievable the same phrases and sense of humor. I hope they're hanging out and cooking in heaven together! My gram made "penny bean stew" (Sliced hotdogs and baked beans)
