These breadsticks may not be unlimited, but they're sure delicious and we hope you try them! What recipe should I learn from Eva next?

[@janekopa9297]

Chicken dishes.

[@theresahenderson3534]

The government of Italy should support you two since you are bringing the love of Italy to the world.

[@theresahenderson3534]

Eva, please make an Sunday Italian breakfast or the best Italian breakfast ever.

[@micheleanhoury518]

I Thank you Eva, with Harper by your side, for showing us how to make them and be creative with our toppings! 🙌 Like the King’s son, I can only eat a bread’s crust but furthermore, I would need the Grissini to be Gluten-free and you say not to use other flours 😰. Since I have not choice, I’m wondering which other flours you tried but certainly: which would you recommend best and which to avoid for your flour based recipes. Grazie mille per tutto questo!

[@PastaGrammar]

@michele try Caputo gluten free flour

[@mygetawayart]

for the sole purpose of science, we need to bring Eva to Olive Garden.

[@PastaGrammar]

😂😂😂

[@bun04y]

Maybe to save Eva's pallet and embarrassment to Olive Garden, she can just read the menu online. I'm sure she'll get a headache from all the eye rolling she'll need to do.

[@clmarsik]

OG needs a whole revamping.

[@NH_RSA__]

Why oh why do you wish this on the poor woman? What has she done?

[@Rudromukherjeenerv]

Haha! Yes! Carnage will ensue!

[@is0s]

The beauty of this channel is that, even if it's aimed to non-italians, it's perfectly enjoyable by us, inhabitants of the Boot. Being entertained by the extreme italianness and "calabresity"" of Eva aside, she is always able to teach me something new, may it be a new dish that was lost in the big tangle of italian regionalism or techniques, that she portrays with such genuine manner. Of course, Harper's wonder, curiosity and will to learn make this show too, alongside his humor: you make a great duo. Big hugs to what became one of my favourite among all cooking channels! A fan from Rome.

[@Hollis_has_questions]

I love your analysis of what makes Eva and Harper so special, individually and together. You capture all the reasons I love Pasta Grammar.

[@PastaGrammar]

Grazie mille! ♥️

"The more you put, the more you will find" is a great Eva catch phrase. Love it.

[@Kathleen5429]

I see a trip to the Olive Garden coming up soon! Hahaa. And don’t forget to have an ambulance in the parking lot for Eva when the “experience” becomes too much for her!!! 😉

[@PastaGrammar]

😂😂😂

[@ridgleyhawthorne715]

And it will (be too much,.....! Now, the question is - Is Harper that cruel & sadistic? Only Eva can tell..🤣

[@RocRizzo]

Don’t you mean an ambulance for the food poisoning?

[@Hullj]

I 2xpect her better sense will kick in and keep her from eating drech.

[@alexrafe2590]

Yes, yes Eva wants to satisfy her curiosity about Olive Garden. Take her Harper please! That’s an episode I must see🙂 She can experience an American concept of Italian cooking so amazing it has spread across the country😁

[@stevyd]

!/2 of my Itaian ancestors are from Piemonte, the Italian province wherein lies Torino. When we had big family holiday gatherings, there were always "Grising" at the table, even the separate small table for us little ones. We loved them not only because they were crunchy and delicious, especially when wrapped with a slice of Mortadella or prosciutto, but also because we could karate-chop them and they would break off pieces, flying across the table and wacking into each other. A nice change from flipping olives at each other. Our folks never seemed to understand how fun this was, reminding us how lucky we were not to be starving like the poor kids in some distant foreign land.

[@itsshrimpinabag9544]

Sounds like a classic childhood, I'm happy for you.

[@missieinthemiddle]

I love Eva's facial expressions when Harper tries make her laugh with his jokes.... every Italian knows that face and what she is saying. We just cannot hide our feelings. lol

[@PastaGrammar]

😂😂😂😂

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

I have always been someone that wears their “heart on their sleeve“ and says everything on my mind with barely a filter. This is because I am French and Italian with my ancestry as an American, and I am absolutely positive that is the case (neither peoples are shy about opinions and feelings!). Eva doesn’t like me because of it (with my calling out a comment of hers that rubbed me the wrong way), but I’m sure she has to be used to people speaking their mind with her heritage lol.

[@davidhoover2446]

That's real people. I am a Floridian and so is my wife and we are both honest forward people. I love people who are what they are and don't hide behind anything.

[@verosdes]

I love Eva’s “I married this man” face when Harper makes the joke about us smelling the rosemary 🤣

Never have I ever had homemade grassini before. I am definitely making these! I agree with you Harper. I think you would blow away any dinner guest if you bring out homemade breadsticks. Great job again Harper. Bravo! 👏🏻👍🏻

[@mariaboletsis3188]

No doubt your bread sticks are much better than any Olive Garden imitation

[@riccardoscalisi8942]

If Olive Garden opened a restaurant here in Italy it would bankrupt after one week

[@cherilynn8852]

Eva, I love your Italian-ness! You make my heart smile!!

[@Marge411]

Harper, PLEEEEASE take Eva to Olive Garden! Eva, you will not even make it through the front door! 🤢😂

[@krs48]

The salad is good?!

[@clownphabetstrongwoman7305]

I don't know why but anytime I enter an Olive garden restaurant, it hits me a smell like some vomited there. After a while I get used to the smell but always the first impression is very bad. That's why I avoid bringing people there.

[@frogger1580]

Yes! Please do take her and record her reaction for us - Sincerely, your fans

Don't do it Eva. Just say NO. 😁

[@al007italia]

1 of the things I love about this channel is how often I see something that is a flashback to my childhood. This time it is the rolling pin, it reminded me of the 1 that my Italian grandfather used to make egg noodles.

[@ludmillam.grabetz7649]

Goodness the crunch sound, sounds wonderful!!!! Thank you Harper and Eva!!!

[@giovannicorno1247]

And Napoleone Bonaparte was fond of grissini. Once he discovered them, during his missions in Italy, he always wanted them.on his table for his meals!

[@rosemaryvardanega4674]

I can smell the rosemary and it smells nice just like me😎😁

[@richardengelhardt582]

Excellent instructions. My coooking teacher in Italy went through the recipe so quickly and made it seem so complicated, eith endless steps, that I was scared off making them. And never mastered what I now understand to be a quite simple process that I'm confident I can do. I too have difficulty digesting soft white bread, but have no difficulty with crunchy toasted variations like this. So I am looking forward to making these. Thank you!

[@bellabordeau2356]

Meraviglioso e bello...Brava Eva !

[@roseconklin5392]

These Grissini look amazing!!! WOW!

[@martyleyeti]

Great Videos Guys. It reminds me of my childhood. I'm from France, and back in the days, we used to live in Nizza, close to the Italian Border. Sometimes my parents went to San Remo or Vintimiglia and we always brought back some Grissinis. It's so light and tasty that you can eat quite a bunch of it, which is great for kids

[@ccantrell4053]

OMG you guys can grow rosmarino in Arizona in the garden or patio! Molti anni fa, I tried to make bread and it was a disaster. Came out like a brick. I was traumatized. You guys inspire me to try agai n I think because Eva's approach is so natural.

[@lisabishop6266]

My older brother has a huge rosemary bush in his back yard, he lives in VA. I want to grow some here in NY, just might have to pot it and bring inside during winter.

[@chihuahuasrule1175]

Those look so beautiful! A feast for the eyes and the taste buds! 😍

[@frankpmarsala7682]

Eva and Harper, you two are amazing!!!! Love your videos. Very fun, informative, and entertaining :)

[@WexMajor82]

Why do you hate her??

[@grodrigueze.b1455]

@@WexMajor82 Noooo! Why would say that? I really want her opinion on the food. I can only eat the breadsticks and some salad when my work orders it.

[@WexMajor82]

@@grodrigueze.b1455 Because it's a nightmare, for an italian; just like canned ravioli, or whatever fresh hell is "fettuccine alfredo".

[@grodrigueze.b1455]

@@WexMajor82 Never mind ✋ 🛑 I agree with you I can’t eat that either it tastes like rubber. Eva don’t you dare go to Olive Garden! We love your cooking videos the food looks amazing and so delicious!! 💯

[@ps5801]

I love how Eva clarifies the English language for us. It used to be that food was moist. Eva taught us that it's actually moisty... creamy, tasty, moisty... I didn't know that before. And it used to be that "some" was an indeterminate amount. Now we all know exactly how much "some" is. I just live in fear that one day the Italians will want her back.

[@atitagain2788]

I was not expecting the literal twist at the end, I cannot wait to make some soon!

[@maryellenhoscila2904]

WHAT FUN! ! ! Gonna try for sure! I love you guys!❤

[@angiealexis3717]

Thank you Eva! Again you've outdone yourself! 😊

[@00infidel00]

The classic grissini of Torino are longer as Eva said and they are without any topping, but you do a great job. In Torino you can also find grissini easily with sesame and rosemary. Grissini with olives are rare.

[@nancyjuliano9903]

I’m definetely making these. Eva and Harper u make us very happy. Thank u both, ur the best.

[@davidbuben3262]

Definitely going to make these. I know you realize by now how much we fans enjoy your content, wry humor and the love of making and eating authentic, traditional Italian cuisine together. It's fun, and educational. Mama mia! More please.

I made these for NYE a few years ago but after they were baked I wrapped them in bacon & sprinkled them with brown sugar & hot peppers and baked them again. They were a HUGE hit.

We, folks of Italian ancestry, hereby do declare that Olive Garden's breadsticks are no match for Eva's delightful recipe.

[@rb-ex]

beautiful, including the choice of toppings. a couple words about the dough: 1) no matter what people believe about salt and yeast it is perfectly fine and less fussy to mix the dry instant yeast and salt into the flour, and then add water to the mixed dry ingredients-- no purpose is served by adding the yeast to water in this case or by adding the salt later, 2) you could follow this recipe except make a lean dough with only a tiny pinch of yeast (maybe 1/16 of a teaspoon or less), autolyse the rough mix for about an hour, followed by 3x stretch and folds 1/2 hr apart, then let proof in a coolish place overnight or longer depending on temperature. the long slow rise will allow enzymes to work on the starches and gluten you'll have an even more crunchy, aromatic and digestible result without all that kneading. thank you for sharing this and all your other fantastic italian cooking style and sensibilities

[@karencasey5729]
