91 year old Mirella makes a wild herb pie from Liguria| Pasta Grannies

[@richardb22]

Danced at the Moulin Rouge . Married a poet and writer for over 60 years. Still reciting poems and singing . Great cook. And she said she did it her way. Nothing fake. Thats one of the most rock and roll pasta grannies of the series. What a woman.

[@pastagrannies]

hi Richard, I completely agree with you 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

[@kimblackwell7659]

This nonna is by far the most interesting character you have ever featured - 91 and smoking a cig and being sassy. Wonderful to listen to her beautiful Ligure poetry.

[@Codetutor-DemystifyCoding]

Wow!! At 91 her enthusiasm and energy for life is infectious. When she held a 🚬 I almost gasped 😂

And then she lights up a smoke! Mirella is badass! God bless her and may she continue to lead this full life!

[@cibreopirate]

Mirella is the best ‘granny’ I have seen on this channel. 91 and full of life. She walks up all those stairs and still has breath for a poem and a cigarette. An inspiration.

what a blessed woman, very fit, sharp memory, perfect eyesight, not a single shake or trembling, joyous and humorous... wow!!!

This has to be my favorite episode. God Bless Mirella. She is my idol. I never seen such fierceness and tenacity for life! You can see it in her eyes and in her stance. I watched this episode 3 times already.

Yes, Mirella is special ! best wishes, Vicky

What a beautiful spicy lady! She must have knocked the wind out of folks when she was in her prime. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ArKaNeification]

Such a character... Mr. Richard Bartram couldn't said it better... the most rock and roll pasta grannie so far...

[@baizhanghuaihai2298]

HOW is she 91?! She does not look a day over 70, she is an absolute wonder-how dear and how special, and all her knowledge of local wild plants, and the poem-one of a kind and rarely made like that anymore!🙏💐💃💜 had to comment a second time, I’m so enchanted by and thankful for rare gems like dear Mirella! May she live as long as she likes, in wonderful health and vitality!

What a vibrant woman! I hope I still sparkle like this when I’m 91. 😌

I am thinking the same! Mirella has the secret the longevity.. aging with grace.. I think the secret is enjoying life, good food and good music!

What a character! She seems like she would have had a very interesting life!

[@pliny8308]

Thank you so much for this. The torta d'erbe is one of my favorite dishes from my homeland, and seeing Mirella was a joy. I don't think I've ever seen a more Ligurian looking woman, and the personality is spot on too. :) She could be my great aunt's clone, lean, strong, fit, feisty and with a sparkling personality, and in that picture at 3:32 she could be my mother as I remember her from my childhood; that beautiful bone structure brought tears to my eyes.

I can’t believe she is 91. It’s hard to find someone these days who is so passionate about cooking and life. Also, she lives in one of the most beautiful places in the world, Riomaggiore 💙 Thank you Pasta Grannies for sharing her amazing recipe and her joyful character with us ❤️

[@niagara6015]

This spritely lady has lived an interesting life. She has such character and is entertaining to watch.

[@jaimereinersv474]

The wonderful thing about your channel, is to see the traditions of the grandparents and how they cared for and fed their families, that love for the land that today the younger ones between 17-30 do not know because many are clinging to their phones believing that an app will solve their problems and thinking that potatoes are given in the supermarket. Wonderful your channel

[@mingzilla]

Once again you have found the most incredible woman!

[@maalim0991]

I loved every single second of this episode. Mirella is Gorgeous .. so inspiring. I hope Pasta Grannie will feature another recipe made by Mirella. Like to persuade Pasta Grannies team to go back to Mirella's house for more recipes (PLEASE).

[@pastagrannies]

Yes we would like to return to Mirella. Unfortunately she hasn’t been well, and we will wait until she makes a full recovery (she’s now back home and mostly better). Best wishes Vicky

[@sarahp1383]

What a charming lady, so full of life and so fiercely independent! A stickler for neatness,.. you can see it in her bearing ,and her orderly kitchen. Nothing fazes her even at 91, , not even the steep stone steps, which she climbs purposefully , to look down at the magnificent. churning sea below and then recite one of her husbands poems with a theatrical stance ! Hats off dear lady, this is life as it should be lived! Later, her irrepressible sweetness surfaces again in happy , tuneless song. Every inch Mirella! The impromptu performance with words strung together carelessly, is the best. "A glass of wine with a sandwich, is happiness, And an unexpected phone call is happiness And then turning off the light to make friends again is happiness, Can you hear, it our love song it plays Like a secret that sounds like happiness! Aaaah huh!!! Tara Ra tum she ends with a flourish! Indeed, SHE IS THE SECRET that sounds like happiness. At the end, the he way she accepts appreciation for her dish, with a graceful shrug of her shoulders says it all. Thank you Pasta Grannies for finding this rare gem. Can we have another video on this gorgeous Nona, Mirella.? Please? Encore!

[@pastagrannies]

what a wonderful free spirit. and quite the looker too with her hubby. I love foraging and collecting and knowing which plants are edible. I used to go out with elderly neighbor to a field near our homes and we would collect wild mustard tips and she would cook them. they were so delish.

I'm 42, I cannot agree enough. The pasta grannies generation and my parent's generation were the last of the capable generations. My generation and onwards is just a huge letdown to the type of world they were trying to build. I see no hope and am just glad I can enjoy some of these beautiful, capable, practical, and intelligent people.

That looked very tasty. I used to call that sort of pie a "pocket pie", as while out walking I'd forage for frsh herbs & greens & pop them into the large pocket of my jacket. Sometimes the contents would be used for a "pocket salad" but if they were ones that were better cooked a pocket pie it was. You had to be careful though though everything I picket was edible, some things could have side effects if eaten in too large an amount. Mirella seems to have had an action packed life... and a good one. Long may that continue. Great video, as always thank you.
