The Best Home-Cooked Meals From Grandmas

[@Jeff-kq9vg]

Would be great if there was a cookbook full of recipes of grannies from all around the world.

[@d.strassler9080]

Jeffrey Van Den Beukel that’d be a lot of family secrets 😂

[@ashkitt7719]

There's Recipes Remembered which has recipes from Holocaust survivors including some grandmas.

[@maximsist1892]

That would be amazing, but don't most grandmothers eyeball ingredients?🤣🤨

ABSOLUTELY AGREED

Wow! Thanks for having us on this episode, Great Big Story. What a story and experience it was! My grandma is on the thumbnail 😊 Love from Lithuania! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jvkanufan8115]

I enjoy making my Lithuanian grandmother's food for my family. I feel like I get to pass on her love to her great grandchildren. Love through food can span generations!

[@romasandmo]

@@jvkanufan8115 nice! What do you usually make?

[@jvkanufan8115]

I try to replicate her kotletai which were a particular favourite. My kids love them. Also bulviniai blynai, and very occasionally cepelinai. She used to very occasionally make a savoury crepe filled with minced meat and vegetables bit like balandėliai but without the cabbage leaf. I don't know what they're called but they were my favourite! My kids like kibinai too - but my grandmother never made those for us.

[@romasandmo]

@@jvkanufan8115 You truly know some popular recipes :)

[@Annika9517]

What a surprise to see you in this video :)

[@clawdsss]

My grandma made the best Filipino food and ever since she passed, any other Filipino food just doesn’t compare. this episode was so beautiful :)

[@jelly.p.3567]

not to disrespect your grandma , but how could u say its the best among filipino food??

[@clawdsss]

Jelly. P. Nothing beats a homemade meal made with fresh ingredients and love:)

[@Fuji_Echo]

Jelly. P. Well, it’s the best for her. It might not be for some people but the sentimental value of the dish and the love that was with the dish as it was made. I think the best food in the world are the ones made with passion and love.

[@clawdsss]

Josh beautifully said!

[@rinrinnnnnn]

I also love my lola's cooking. Unfortunately she passed away after her birthday

[@brandonchen7025]

That’s how all the great chefs became the way they are. Grandmas. Grandmas, guys.

[@akmalrazak7620]

Why?? Why i cried while watching this sweet memories they have with their beloved grandmother.. Hope u guys that still have your grandma, do treasure those precious moments..

[@shayflowers8471]

Please nobody tell me I was the only person who cried watching them bonding and wish had experienced the same.

[@butterflieseverywhere724]

Sharon Soni dont worry, i cried too. It was too beautiful and loving. My grandma cooks delicious too. Made me think of her.

[@MelvisVelour]

I did as well and miss both of my Grandmothers. I did most of the recipes but there's always that one missing thing...her love

[@ak06740]

I got emotional because my family doesn't have a good relationship with our extended family so I never experienced that as well

[@tooturnttomato]

my grandma Lucy passed when i was 7 and my other grandma Eileen passed before i was born :( i miss her as well as her authentic Italian food and wish i knew my other grandma and wish i got to taste her food as well

[@ylive5169]

None of the grandchildren have this kind of relationship with Grandma 😔

[@BrookeCurto]

This video made me cry. My two grandmas are very near and dear to my heart and were the best cooks. My grandma who just passed away from Dementia used to make the best jewish food. My friends would come over and would never go hungry. My Italian grandma who is still alive is getting old and can't make as much as she used to so when I visit and she makes her homemade pasta I savor every last bite. Bless grandmas and their ability to create wonderful memories for their whole family.

[@SadicDarkAngel]

I am so happy with the peruvian abuela. His grandson is so happy and giddy... I also love Tallarines Rojos although my favorite dish ever is Carapulcra. My abuelita used to prepare it when we had celebrations.

[@crafael.]

not everyone have this kind of relationship with they family. Even never experienced it, but watching it here is amazingly great too..

[@Tofuconsumer]

I really wish I had a good relationship with my grandma but she just doesn’t like me. I can’t wait to be able to cook with and love my own grandkids one day.

[@ardakulak4889]

Grandma’s are the wisest and most kindest people ever. They support you in hard times. They cook you food when your hungry. And they love you. And we should love them back.

[@honda197056]

I'm almost fifty years old and I am sitting here crying my eyes out because I miss my grandmother so much. She was a small woman so my cousin started calling her "little momma " and that's what we all called her. She died over 30 years ago and I still miss her.

[@nitinkini3176]

This video is too pure and full of love. Just warms one's heart. So much what it means to be human is universal across all cultures.

[@arkhadipustaka_]

Tears rolling down ... My mother-inlaw passed away 6 months ago. Before she got the heart-attack, I remember she cooked fried rice for my daughter and my daughter loves it so much. I miss her so much. Thank you for a beautiful video.

[@rainepanda]

My grandma isn't a very good cook because she got married very young but became a working professional very soon after and convenience food was very popular during the 70s. My mom never cared to cook and that is what kick started my interest in cooking was the desire to eat something more than frozen pizza and spaghetti every day. I love cooking and I hope I can be one of these grandmas one day

[@victornoagbodji]

i hope you become one!! 👍👍

[@rainepanda]

@@victornoagbodji thanks :)

[@j.t8529]

Everybody knows when Christmas is approaching grandmas regain their full power an no one has the power to stop them

[@niclookk]

None of us can ever cook the same way our grandma's did cause we'll always be missing their secret ingredient. Love.

[@Mu51kM4n]

So true. Never thought of it that way before. My family lost my grandmother this year. When I read your comment I just cried because it's so true

[@niclookk]

@@Mu51kM4n sorry for your loss. Condolences to you and your family.

[@serendipity449]

Through this video, I started to long for my grandma's cooking again. I remember my grandma's bagoong; it was spectacular. After she passed, I refused to eat bagoong that wasn't made with her recipe. The way she cooked bangus was my favorite. Very little additional ingredients, but still unbelievably flavorful. Her spaghetti was impeccable. Whenever I'd grab a bite of spaghetti made with her recipe, memories of her would cloud my mind. I remember watching her cook when I was a child. As she sautéd onions, I'd watch. I was absolutely mesmerized. Luckily, my dad keeps her alive with her recipes. It always breaks my heart to recall the day I realized I'd never be able to eat her food again. I miss her. I hope she's happy now.

[@peachcampanella]

I was just scrolling and saw your comment about your lola. It made me kind of sentimental because I feel the same way. I miss my lola's tocino and ginisang monggo. Every Christmas we'd make ginataang bilo bilo together, and she'd tell me stories and Philippine legends.

[@inserttapehere276]

fuck man you’re gonna make me cry

[@kahinaoftheelements4845]

As i grew up into a food explorer all i have to say is that i owe it all to my grandma because her cooking and her culinary techniques influenced all my tasting senses to the better, and when i come back to her food i always love it!!

[@Erin49694]

my grandma passed away recently and this video brings back so many memories of being in the kitchen with my grandma. cherish your loved ones while they’re here❤️

[@101stsurvivor]

Made me tear up a bit as this is an experience I've missed out on. What a fantastic episode!

[@flutteringazure]

What a lovely episode! My maternal grandmother came to the Netherlands from Russia during WWII (fled a German work camp together with my grandfather). In order to fit in and learn the culture and language, she started cooking Dutch recipes. I have some of them penned down in a notebook. My grandmother passed away, but every year for Sinterklaasavond I still make her recipe for Dutch split pea soup ("snert") in the big orange soup pot I inherited from her

[@skylunaa]

I just want to give all these sweet grandmothers a hug

[@vegataryanrecipes6304]

My Chinese grandma used to make the best pork soup and steamed oyster rice ... fortunately after she passed away my mother was still able to recreate her taste. It would never be the same , when she ask u to taste it just shows her unconditional love to us .

[@adijayaification]

I never had any chance to taste my grandmas cooking because they're already passed away since I was baby very long time ago; but.. Nowadays my mom is a grandma for my kids and I enjoyed her foods she made very much and I think it's the best. Yummy 👍🏿😋✅💯😃❤️

[@hermetickitten]

My granma passed away in July. She was the best cook I have ever known. Lately I’ve been missing her food, and I know that nothing is ever going to taste as good as the meals she made. Occasionally, I cook something with a similar flavour, and then I remember her.. cooking is the art of remembering, the art of honouring those you love ❤️

[@nate.s]

Cooking isnt the art of remembering but ok

[@IvanaHonda]

My grandma was amazing cook and I am lucky my mom is up there with her when food is at matter so I know my children will have amazing food made by their grandma. I am also fortunate to have such good cook for mother and she taught me a lot so I can pass that to next generation.

I miss my nana's cooking. Low country South Carolina staples like grits and eggs and pork chops over rice. I miss my adda's white fish stew, with fish and potatoes, and I think milk, but I'm not sure. My dad's mom doesn't really cook, and hasn't in years, though she did make a mean fried egg. My great uncle on my dad's side is the one whose cooking we all love. He makes really flavorful grits, and mashed potatoes.

[@mirellewordsmith6725]

My maternal grandmother was a culinary legend in the family AND the neighbourhood. Even though grandmum had passed for almost three decades there are still people around talking praises of her cooking (my maternal family used to have an eatery, then a pub before that and a bakery before that). Weirdly enough, my paternal grandmother (pushing her nineties now) has little to do with cooking. The one who cooked in my paternal family were my late grandpa and first aunt.

[@vita6367]

It's really sweet to see a grandparents n grandson interaction. My grandparents from my mom has passed away since my mom was really young. And i'm not really close to my father's mom cause we live in a different city. 😁. I hope for all the best for all the people who has a condition like me.😁🤣
