[@carmelahowcroft2163]

Love watching your “Growing Up Italian” You Tube Show…..Your Nonna and Aunt are such good cooks! Please keep your family recipes coming…..I am from Calabria as well and recognize all the wonderful recipes that your Nonna and Aunt make….Grazie Mille!!! Ciao …..

[@JohnfromAtlanta]

You’re a wonderful young man keeping your family traditions alive. This looks like a fun think to try with my family. Your Nonna is una bela donna.

[@emiliac64]

I agree I wish I would have videoed all my Moms recipes only have a few favorite .. he is doing a great job of keeping the traditions 👏🏼 Bravo!

[@anthonyscalamogna4683]

So my family is Calabrese and this truly is a staple! I live in S. Florida now but always go back to Carrick where Nonna still runs 3 gas stoves to learn from the master herself! I can only say I am so happy to see this recipe out there!!! This is a slice of home for a Calabrese boy!

[@tericandeloro4082]

I love cooking with the Nona’s here! I never got to know mine. My mothers mom died before I born. My dad’s mom never learned English too good, so it was kinda hard for her! So thank you for putting this out there. We eat Italian at least 3 times a week. I try to keep up certain things I know. Your channel helps with that….at least for me!

Great segment. Peace to the Calabrese.🇮🇹✌🏼

I've been slowly collecting Italian American recipes for decades now. My Irish American mother learned to make a marinara, and a Bolognese sauce from her Italian neighbors when she was young. She stayed true to those recipes and added her own recipes for meatballs, lasagna, stuffed shells, eggplant parmesan and beef braciole to her accomplishments. When I was old enough to help, I learned all of these recipes, and went on to work at a small Italian restaurant as a teen... adding even more recipes to my own cook book. Over the years more and more recipes were added. Pasta e Fagioli, Mrs. Cocuzza's meatballs (absolutely FANTASTIC) and many others are now a staple in my kitchen. Unfortunately Mom passed away in 2018... but my sisters and friends always LOVE it when I make Mom's recipes. Just before Mom passed, we made a trip to Italy together with a few family members. We saw Rome, Palermo and Naples and experience a LOT of authentic Italian meals... which she wasn't too happy with. She had grown up with Italian American recipes, not traditional Italian recipes and was disappointed. I was NOT... I fell in love with Italy on that trip. I have since decided I had to go back again, and next May I'm going back for two weeks, so I can experience even more (Milan and Florence to start, and then back to Rome and Naples) I first caught part of this recipe on Tik Tok... but fumbled with my phone and lost the clip. It took me half and hour to find you, and your KZbin channel. THANK YOU! I have never heard of Vrascioli, and it looks delicious. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing your family's traditions and Nonna's recipes with us. Subscribed and liked! PS My friends always told me I must be part Italian but I was told no by my family ... "We aren't Italian at all." Thanks to DNA research and the internet... I now know I am about 10-15% Italian. 😃 Grazie mille

What a good nonna 💚

[@JessiDawl]

one hundred percent making these tonight! my nonna passed when I was younger, so I am collecting all of the recipes I can!

[@carmelahowcroft2163]

Dear Jimmy, “I love your Cooking channel and the way your loving Nonna and Aunt demonstrate the Calabrian way of cooking” They bring me to my loving Mamma’s cooking and remind me of their generation of such strong and hardworking women, who aimed to please their family and friends with their “delightful cooking” recipes that were never written down, but memorized… “keep the recipe coming” Grazie veramente del mio cuore!!!

[@nikolvirag8958]

Caro Jimmy, grazie per la ricetta perfetta, la farò presto! Nikol

[@sharonlylerealestate8792]

I loved watching this! Bless you for sharing it. Give my love to Rose and Rita!

[@christinastelly6785]

You’re the best!!!! So excited to have recipes 😌

[@jhlfsc]

YES! Very few families by us called these "Vrascioli/Rescioli/Fresciola" (depending on your exact dialect). Even most other Italians think you're talking about the classic stuffed steak "Brasciole" when you say it so it's so good to know there's other Calabresi keeping the dialect and traditions alive!👍

[@dianefiori7669]

Omg that looks sooo good! I gotta try this 😃 Thank you for sharing, love your videos! You have an awesome family😊

[@jimmybigmuscles]

Thank you😁

[@johnchiodo1226]

Thank you so much for showing this. My grandmother came from Filadelfia Italy and used to make these, but no one ever learned how. I made some today. Keep up with the videos!!

[@nsassy44]

My family was from Calabria and my mother was the best cook ever but I don’t ever remember her making these but now that I saw them being made I’m gonna make them

[@ananitro74]

Me encantará la receta. Y el detalle del albal protegiendo la cocina. Mi abuela hacía lo mismo 🥰

[@raynardo2501]

My parents are from Calabria! My mom made these all the time! They were the most requested treat at any function. She also made rice Vrasciole. Thanks for sharing your family.

[@Mike69thStreet]

Jimmy I saw this and can't wait to try this, we have always made something similar. We called it poor man's Broccoli. Lots of bread like you, lots of garlic, parsley, chopped onions, egg, and 1 lb, veal, 1 lb 90% ground beef. Fry in oil, just fry not as much-needed oil as yours. Keep turning till brown. Same shape as yours but fatter.

[@maurad5378]

Hi, never heard of them. They look delicious!

[@amandac7270]

Never heard of this but they look good will def be making for my kids ty for the recipe

[@niccoarcadia4179]

Thanks!

[@jchiar]

Never heard, thanks! Salute

[@EvanGlobal]

I’ve tried to make these several times but they don’t turn out so well. I can’t wait to try this recipe!

[@MikeEnergy_]

I've never heard of it before! My family is from Agrigento

[@ItalianDMD]

Love your videos! You and your nonna remind me so much of me and my gram Colletti. My gram was Calabrese and my pap was Siciliano. They lived in Brookline, PA off of Capital Ave (home of the great Fiori’s Pizza)! They may actually have known your family. Ask if they knew Nick and Mary Colletti. Hope to hear back from you!

[@brianconyngham4306]

Nice variation of a meatball, looks delicious! What oil does Nonna Rita prefer to use when frying these?

[@LuisCastaneda-qs3bq]

This looks very tasty, I'm a self made chef and always looking to learn new cuisine. My GF is aburutsi (not sure of spelling) so I've been teaching myself recepies from her home country

[@johnchiodo1226]

Abruzzi

[@944gemma]

Calabrese cooking. Best in the world. Only cooking that comes close is Abruzzese.

[@emiliac64]

This is like meatballs my Mom made 😍 I don’t think she put as much bread in her recipe a bit more ground meat and she baked them ...but these look Great! Ciao tutti 🍷

[@dianagalan5183]

What do you pair this with?? Or side dishes??

[@dmarc_10]

🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@lynne6417]

My uncle Adam Piperato was Calabrese....

[@theovercomerbuglini2641]

I vrascioli sono una specialità Krotonese... su bbonu.

[@joygentile3394]

It's basically a meatball

[@carminemartino8471]

Its a meatball when you are broke because its like 25% meat. My grandmom used to make meatballs like this when she had no money. I used to call them breadballs. :)

[@DDelilahM]

You said a tablespoon of salt but it's actually a teaspoon of salt…. Because the parmesan is so salty...

[@sameeratahirkheli3085]

Twin sister?

[@connerpoul6630]

It spell brascioli but what she made it are polpette meat ball Bracioli is a different dish It’s a slice meat filled and rolled then drop in souce after Been fry a bit
