Clara had a great time with Michelle Miller from CBS Evening News. She continues to be astounded by the vastness of her notoriety. We are doing our best to get all her fans comments to her, but it's getting harder and harder the more popular she gets.
She sends a big thanks to everyone who has given her support.

It was SO fun to see you on TV, Clara!! Thank you for all the inspiration :D
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and your family Clara. Thank you for sharing your family recipes and life's memories. There are so many of us who have yet to learn these things about the Great Depression because our own grandmothers have long passed away and/or never thought a depression would happen again. Clara, you are touching many lives whether you know it or not and thanks to your family members who are making it possible!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Clara, for sharing your memories and recipes! I've kept my grandmother's recipes box - there is something so comforting about looking at the recipes she's written down on index cards. I plan to share your recipes on you tube with my 11 year old daughters who are aspiring cooks and great helpers in the garden. Bless you - Beth
ReplyDeleteHi Clara,
ReplyDeleteYour cooking reminds me of my Grandma cooking in the kitchen. I love your recipes and can't wait to get your dvd and cookbook.
Thank you for sharing your stories and recipes. You bring back so many memories for me, as my Gram and I would often talk about the depression, she being born in 1914. I would love to give you a hug!
Clara, I just saw your videos thanks to a link from another blog--in turn, I linked to your videos to share with my readership as well. Fantastic videos, all! I hope you continue to amaze us with your recipes, and look forward to seeing your cookbook!
ReplyDeleteHi Clara,
ReplyDeleteThank you for teaching us how to cook responsibly, and without any waste. I really enjoy watching your videos! Love to you! mare
My father sent me an e-mail today telling me that I had to look up "Depression Cooking With Clara". I am so very glad that I did. I have one grandmother left to me, and she is now 86. While she has shared all that she could remember over the years I cannot recall her ever sharing her experiences with cooking during that era. Now I suppose I'll have to prod her memory just a bit more.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to making a pepper and egg sandwich, though I've never found caked yeast here in New England. Perhaps my own daughter and I can make it a scavenger hunt game this weekend.
Thank you so much for sharing your grandmother with us Chris. Thank you, Clara, for giving us a glimpse into your life and your kitchen.
Bless you,

You might want to change the word "notoriety" from the post.
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet, keep up the good work, and hope you receive as much pleasure as you have given from your cooking shows.

You are a beautiful individual and an inspiration to us all. God Bless You.
ReplyDeleteMs. Clara,
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy watching your video's. The videographer presents you, your surroundings, especially your kitchen in a manner that is soothing and pleasant to view. Thank you for sharing yourself and history in the kitchen with the world. I will continue to watch and hope that the context and style of the video does not change.
Graciously,

Hi Ms. Clara,
ReplyDeleteI just found your videos on YouTube. And I think they are wonderful.
Please keep making them and sharing such great history and wisdom with all of us.
I certainly will be buying the DVD, and any cookbook you publish. My own grandparents, who have long since passed on unsed to share their stories of the depression with me. I was too little to appreciate them then. But finding you brings me right back to that time.
And a big thank you to your grandson for starting this great documentary about you.
May you live to be 130 years! Or more!
Thank you so much for these videos. Like so many others, Clara brings back memories of my own Grandmother, who was a newlywed in 1930. She was from a little town in Foggia, Italy. She tried to give us all her recipes and of course she never wrote anything down, it was just a pinch of this or that. I can't wait for the book, I think it'll make a great gift for my mom.
ReplyDeleteClara, you give hope to all who watch your videos and listen to your words of wisdom and humor. You not only survived the Great Depression, you thrived and flourished! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBravo Clara! Thank You Christopher!
ReplyDeleteThis has touched a lot of people, including this California family.
We are big fans!
Clara, I read about you in the newspaper on Sunday. I have since watched all of your videos and contacted my niece in New York to tell her about you. We LOVE to watch you because as with so many others you remind us of our heritage. Keep cooking you're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteClara ,I am your number one fan in Europe . Cant get enough of your recipes etc . You are the bright light this world needs ... A real person with real talent ... you can be yourself .. Fabulous . Thanks Clara
ReplyDeleteSomeone sent me the link to your videos Clara and I love them. You are such a joy to watch and learn from. As some one else commented your videos are calming and yet entertaining at the same time. You're a natural. I feel like I am with my own mother when listening to you. You also have such wonderful children and grandchildren. A lovely family. Thank you all for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI just watched all of your videos on www.wonderhowto.com I love them! You remind me of my grandma. Thanks for the smile!
ReplyDelete:-)
Clara, you are such an inspiration to all cooks, especially in today's economy. We can all learn from you how to be less wasteful, more frugal and appreciate what we have instead of whining about what we don't have. I admire your wisdom, your spirit, your wit and your spunk. May God bless you, Clara.
ReplyDeleteClara, You are beautiful. When I watch you I am reminded of my own two wonderful grandmothers. Bless you for sharing your stories and recipes. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love Clara's salty banter with the interviewer. ha!
ReplyDeleteClara doesn't mince words..haha! Cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Clara,
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the Maher girls from Skaneateles. My mom and dad told me about your website and videos and I am so glad I watched them! Chris, great job - your grandma in the videos is just as sweet as I remember. I had no idea about your depression cooking but I do have fond memories of celebrating with the Cannucciari family at the Christmas eve(?) fish dinner. And Clara, I still have the bolognese sauce recipe you gave me at my wedding shower 10 years ago!
God Bless,
Nora (Maher) Nugent
Found you in Austria's Guide 50 plus!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what you accomplished with 'depression-cooking'! I tried out your recipes, everything was delicious!!!
Thank you for sharing !
Good bless you !
Clara,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your life and your experiences. They are a precious thing. When I was in the Navy I spent almost 2 1/2 years in Sigonella. Those were some of the best years of my life. Many of my friends were Sicilian, including the family who "adopted" as you would say. A number of the meals you make are very reminiscent of what Mamma Chiramonte prepared for her family. She taught me quite a bit, including how to make pasta. Now I make my own bread and butter too. You are a treasure! My Grandmother also lived through the depression but down in Mississippi. She's left us about 25 years ago. God Bless and Thank you for sharing your memories of those incredible times that have almost faded away. Your Friend always - Jim.. "TheSwabbie"
