I just adore the space you’ve created with your videos. Always a highlight of my week. I hope today has been good to you! 😌

[@VenetiaLaManna_]

this is reassuring to read (im forever second guessing myself) so thank you! 💛💛💛

[@lane5802]

You have been a Nigella for me. Just seeing how you enjoy the food you make and eat. I struggled all through college with disordered eating. But just watching you has allowed me to feel free and find joy in food again. Like I always find it so funny with how much joy you get in an evening chocolate-but only because I just want to be like that.

Yes to loving food publicly! I’ve struggled with food and diet culture since a young teen and I think it’s important to talk about it. As always, your videos give me so much! Thank you. x

[@lucywright886]

Been loving these vlogs recently! Sometimes watch them more than once as they are ultimate cosy and love how natural they are! Please keep them coming! X

[@lucycarlile6330]

cannot even tell you how refreshing / heartwarming it is to hear you talk so openly about your relationship with food & how you're working on this. sending you so, so much love. also the way nigella enjoying food makes you feel, you make us feel with eating chocolate etc in your vids. lots of love x

[@PIC0630]

Great vlog, as always. Puréed veggie soups with rice is one of my fav combos. Glad you discovered it’s deliciousness 😋

[@VenetiaLaManna_]

so good! i am DELIGHTED to have found it (even if i am very late to the party)

[@lucyames6157]

oh my gosh this video is everything i needed!! finished the beauty myth a few weeks ago and have been struggling with how much my eyes have been opened to its impact in every sphere of life and have struggled with anorexia and disordered eating for years and so your thoughts on the struggle of creating healthier relationships with food brought a tear to my eye. thank you for your honesty and positivity, venetia!! on another note, your food content is making me so excited for when i will FINALLY have a kitchen in a month once i move from student housing to an apartment!!!

[@VenetiaLaManna_]

the beauty myth is one of my favourite reads of ALL time! i need to add it to the description box!!

Aw mate, those pancakes looked fab! I've been very lazy with cooking as of late, but might treat myself to some pancakes this weekend. Cheers for the inspo 💕

[@AmyFMcCready]

and yes soup COULD be sauce. Whenever I have the intention of making soup, it turns into a pasta sauce. We like some bite around here...

[@degroenemeisjes]

Your videos are my absolute fave in the whole wide world 🧡💓💛

[@SiddhisvariBulloch]

Loved the colour combination of the pancakes....the green, orange and white. Will be making those but might add matcha instead for greenness. Am enjoying your videos over here in Barcelona! Gracias! X

I really did enjoy this video ❤️

[@clairei185]

So smug to have finally caught up with your videos after binging them all recently (been a long time Instagram fan!). I adore your content - I always find it so calming and wholesome without being preachy or not transparent 🥰 loved to hear you share your thoughts on diet culture - it’s such a huge shame for women that our relationships with food and exercise has been so intrinsically linked with weight and appearance for so long when both are things which are a huge privilege and should bring us JOY ✨ alas straight after this part, I got an advert on KZbin for a diet programme (also strangely seem to get them for ASOS when watching your channel despite never having visited their site 😩🥺). Keep creating fab content and fighting the good fight of slow fashion 👌🏻✌🏻

[@VenetiaLaManna_]

you put this so well, thank you for sharing. gaaah that's so annoying re ads and i know others have the same issue. i'm going to try to speak to youtube (not sure how i'll get there) for clarity on this, as i wish there was a way i could be more selective on ads.... i know a lot is based on cookies / gender / location / algorithms, but as u can imagine it's very frustrating!

[@clairei185]

@@VenetiaLaManna_ I think they’re generally targeted but I have those settings off where I can to stop me buying unnecessarily (which works tbf since I wouldn’t buy from ASOS or a diet programme) 😅 I think from KZbin’s perspective though, it would surely make sense to target the ads to the content of the video to an extent 🧐🤔

[@miriamhopkins8621]

This felt like the OG Venetia KZbin videos and I loveddddd it 🤍

[@VenetiaLaManna_]

thanks for sticking with me!!

[@danielleclaypool8296]

I always look forward to your videos, and your cooking segments are always inspiring! Quick tip on the hand blender - just make sure not to hit the bottom of your non-stick pan, because it can sometime scrape the non-stick material off the bottom and into the food 😊

[@VenetiaLaManna_]

great tip, thank you 🤗

[@wicklawalker9495]

Venetia meditates at the very time I’d be drinking a glass of wine 🤭 But I’m not beating myself up for it. A glass of wine a couple of times a week is good for the soul too 😘

[@VenetiaLaManna_]

absolutely!! aaaalways do what feels right for you ♥️

[@audrey-jane]

Great video, such fantastic advice. May I please ask what mascara you’re using please? 🙂

[@saracas93]

Would you be able to create a video showing your skincare and makeup routine. Your skin looks so glowy and heathly and I adore your lesser makeup look. I'm suffering with a lot of hormonal acne so a foundation rec that is vegan/crueltyfree would be amazing if you know of one. Thank you, Really enjoying your videos!

[@VenetiaLaManna_]

thanks Sara, that's really kind. I'll film an updated skincare routine soon. I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with hormonal acne. I know this can be really tough on mental health and self esteem. To be completely honest with you, I don't really wear foundation at the moment - just the tinted serum I've mentioned in the vid, but I'd love to recommend t @EmJEdit and @JustineJenkins on Instagram for all things CF / V makeup - they're both experts in this field 💕

How you feel about Nigella is how I feel about you!! Word for word ! It was funny hearing you say that when we all feel that way towards you haha Only difference is I do see you as my friend, even if it’s through videos 🥰❤️ (So Nigella is your friend too ;) )

[@AthynVixen]

OMG the stick blender.. Those things give me anxiety.. I have one and it scares the bejesus out of me. Be careful not to let it touch the bottom of the pan.. I have to use 2 hands ..

[@VenetiaLaManna_]

haha it is a little scary! thanks for the advice

[@juliats1]

Watching you transfer those soup leftovers was truly painful 😂 If you don’t own one already, I’d really recommend buying a silicone spatula. It’s a godsend for tasks like that. Best £5 I’ve ever spent. The soup looked delicious though 🤤

[@VenetiaLaManna_]

haha looool it was for me too. trying to film the angle makes it all the more complicated. we have two of those! they're so good.
