    We’ve received news that Nonna Nerina has passed away. I want to take a moment to express that albeit our time together was brief, I am honored to have been able to cook alongside her in this video. This woman clearly led an incredible life filled with passion and joy for the beauty of cooking. She passed onto us technique and life lessons that without her doing so would have been a massive loss to the world of culinary. Thank you Nonna Nerina for everything you’ve done for us and the world of food, and of course all of the lives you’ve touched around you. We love you and you will be missed beyond belief.

    Amazing to see Joshua experiencing the warmth of an european household. In America it's not like that at all. When nonna caressed his arms to explain how to roll the pasta or when he "deserved" a kiss, the kiss on each cheek when greeting, those are all very southern european things (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece) and it's truly funny and heartwarming, in a way, to see Joshua and his friends experience that warmth.
    For more videos like this.
    Great work.

    This makes me miss my nonna so much. So full of life, so authoritative yet sweet, always throwing around a joke (she kept it pretty family friendly for the whole video, surprisingly! I guess the myriad of innuendos is more a south thing), and it's not a thing of stamina or strength but patience and technique, and most importantly...love.
    Singing Domenico Modugno's Piove at the the end to liven things up is heartwarming as heck. I feel honored to have grown on an italian family, surrounded by so much unity and love.

    I am neither Italian nor Mexican, but even I know that...
    ...an Italian Nonna wields the same terrifying, awe-inspiring power in her environment as does a Mexican Abuela. Nobody except her sisters ever uses her first name. To everyone else she is "Nonna/Abuela". Her authority is as if someone combined a very salty Sergeant-Major with a four-star General. If she says "No", then, brother, it ain't happenin'. The only thing more unstoppable than a Nonna/Abuela is several of them working together.

    Grandmas are so precious and they are so fun to be around, they are always filled with energy and love, so you should be good to them and treat them with love and respect and care for them, and if you haven't visited them in a while shame on you, you should visit your grandparents at least once a week if you live in the same city, and if you live far from them, you should call them and check up on them regularly!

    Bruh, I just realized what I truly love about you. You capture this sense of family and community around food through your cooking. That’s what good food is all about - Sharing it with people that you love! I love you Papa, and the values you encapsulate in your vids. Thanks man

    They weren't Italian, but it saddens me to think of all the wonderful recipes and heritage and tradition I missed getting to learn from my grandmas :'D Both died before I was old enough to walk or even remember them. Cherish your grandparents (if they're good ones). Not everyone gets to have them and they are a blessing..

    Love this one Josh=we lived 5 years S of Naples and I worked for free in the evenings a few days a week at a friends Trattoria.I worked in the kitchen helping his mom (who did not speak English). To say I learned a lot is an understatement lol. Nona is spot on-keep up the great work! I should have done the same in Korea and a few other places but.... i didn't. Keep up this pattern with grandmas in regions. Its great
