Q&A WITH MY CHEF MOM IN *ITALY*

and a 40 minute video it is 😄
thank you to everyone that left a question for making this video possible and apologies for not including all the questions but this video would have been 2 hours long otherwise lol
hope you enjoyed 💞
[about me]
Hi my name is Rosie, I'm 26 and my life is a bit confusing so i'm writing this lol.
To make it easy:
- I was born in Northern Italy, in the region of Veneto
- My whole family still lives there (mom, dad and my little sister Marty)
- I moved to Toronto, Canada, at 19 all alone to ✨find myself✨ (spoiler: it didn't work, i got more lost if anything)
So, I live half my life in Italy and half my life in Canada.
Also, my mom is from Moldova (country in Eastern Europe) and my dad is from Calabria (region in Southern Italy) and both my grandmas still live there. So you’ll occasionally see me going there as well.
I hope this clears things up a bit.. or maybe makes them more confusing lol.
I don’t know, i tried 😄

Having no goals for you because she understands better than most that it’s YOUR life to live and it’s just making me emotional to see how respectful she is of you and everyone.

You are very lucky to have a mom like her. Not every mother is brave enough to live their lives the way that they want.

[@Murphy5360]

I'm with the others on here; your mum and the staff who work with her, and YOU, are really legendary. We see so often online videos about expensive restaurants and chefs and yes, it's amazing, they work hard to get there, but this is something different and good. It's not just a labour of love, it's a service and feels more important and less trivial. Hard work and dedication that isn't trying to reach this "highest platform" kind of thing. It's food with care for the community, it's taking care of people, and it's being a part of that community, feeding that community who do the work to keep things going. Your recent video about liking the ancient Roman life was so great and I feel you have it already there! It's not the same slow pace as it may have been then, but the heart is exactly the same. The soul of that life style is very alive.

[@Desvilleux]

Her sense of security upon meeting your Dad is how real, mature love works. It's not the butterflies, but the feeling that the man can protect and provide no matter what happens. I felt it when I met my husband. I thought old people back then were just saying it for the sake of answering the question.

I was born in northern Spain. In a very small town. We had animals and we grew vegetables and fruit. All of us kids had to help. Feed the animals. Plant the field, pick the crops. It was a way of life and we thoroughly enjoyed it. To be poor and survive, everyone helps. And yet we never felt we lacked a thing. Too many people of today could never. So coddled with everything at hand. I admire people like your mother. Hard working, respectful and humble. And incredibly intelligent. She reminds me of my mother and my grandma. Props.

It's so interesting that she said she does not feel like she needs "self-care" days because she already feels great. I was watching this video that said the Italian way of life is so wholesome in that it just leaves you feeling fulfilled. The way you guys are likely to congregate for meals almost everyday if not everyday. It is free therapy to spend time with the ones you love while sharing a good meal and a good talk. You guys have higher regulation on what is allowed to be in your food as compared with my country (USA) which could lead to a healthier gut. Which could also lead to a more happier outlook on life.

Oh My gosh!!! I LOVED THIS!!! This was a great interview!!! As an American, I am very envious of Italian Families! The Love, the ease with which you interact!! And the food!! The Food is divine!!! and Comes from the easy love that you share with your families!!! When I was in the Cinque Terra, I believe it was one of the 5 towns that begins with an "M" don't quite remember. Anyway, it was in 2006, and I saw an Italian family of 5 who were obviously on vacation from whatever other part of Italy they were from. There were 2 sons and a daughter. All happily walking together eating Ice Cream. The 2 sons were older approximately 17/18 and 13/15. They were Both Hanging all over their father as they were walking. Tears came to my eyes at the sentiment of watching this lovely Family!!! That would NEVER happpen in America!!! Americani si Freddi!!! daughters perhaps, but teenage sons would run from their fathers like Vampires from garlic!! ...and if, perhaps, they DID want to be affectionate with their fathers, the father would most likely reject them and call them wierdos!! Italy is a beautiful and magical place, at least the parts of it that I have seen. Haven't really been to Southern Italy much though, Just Rome, Firenze, Sienna, Venice. I need to visit South and see what that's like?

Your mother is truly a remarkable woman-down to earth, hardworking, passionate, kind, dedicated, and an overall wonderful human being. She embodies so many incredible qualities that are truly inspiring. She seems like the type of person with whom you can simply enjoy a cup of coffee without uttering a word. I hope to visit Italy one day and her restaurants would undoubtedly be on my list. Thank you for sharing such personal moments. It's a true honor to have the opportunity to spend time with your mom. Thank you. Love from Boston, MA. USA ❤

Such a girl boss! Built her own life from zero in a new country at such a young age, must be so proud to be her daughter Rosie🥰🙌🏻💗

It is difficult to express in words what I want to say about your mother. She is the hardest worker I have ever seen. She is full of wisdom. She is smart as a whip... I do not know how she knows what and how much to buy. Not only that, the speed she works at is incredible! I hope you will let her know how much we admire her.

She is just an icredible human being, your mother. So hardworking, so humble, so non-nonsence, so intelligent and skilled. Absoluety amazing woman and an inspiration.

Your Mom's admirable! She is one that we should really admire, her passion, work ethic, dedication and being optimistic to go through even having a very bad day. Very tough but not rough!

my actual favorite youtube channel. you and mama rosie killed this video!!!!!! it's so good, from editing to music, to voice over and of course the star, your mom!!!!! LOVED IT

I really enjoyed listening to her story. She's very a such inspirational person you want to have around you. I'm fascinated by how she relies on herself to make decisions for her life and therefore she totally respects your own decisions for your life. Thanks for this Q&A Rosie. It was perfect.

I know your mom doesn't think much of youtube as work, which is typical of people of her generation, but tell her she is mistaken and that the world needs her. There are millions of people that she inspires just by being herself, that admire her. In 50 years, there will be no women left with her spirit, commitment and life ethic. She is a treasure, not to be forgotten.
