What I eat in a week at my NONNA's house in ITALY 🐟

NONNA'S COOKBOOK → www.rosiemaio.com
I can't believe this is already the third episode of my series "What I eat in a week in Italy at my Nonna's house" - time really does fly 🥹 I added 3 extra days to this episode as a little "thank you" for all the love you've shown since the beginning of this journey ❤️ I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed eating all the yummy food my Nonna prepared for us!
This video was filmed in August 2023-I'm so sorry it took me so long to post it but I wanted to share the cookbook at the same time, which took me a while to perfect! It wasn't easy because Nonna doesn't follow any specific measurements when she cooks. Each time she makes a recipe, it turns out a little different from the last. I had to guess all the ingredient quantities by eye and test each recipe about 10-15 times before it came out tasting like hers 😅. But it was a labor of love, and I’m so happy we made it happen.
This video is a bit different from my previous ones because I experimented with a more "cinematic" style. Chris (@chiyoks) did the color grading for the whole video and I'm so happy with the final result! Be sure to check out his channel; he creates stunning cinematic videos, and I look up to his filming/editing style so much!
Hope you enjoy the video and thank you for watching 🙏🏻
Love,
Rosie

[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 😄

Hello 💚 There's something I must tell you. Last year my heart grew terribly weak and back then no one knew, why and what to do. All I could do was lie in bed, do nothing and rest, rest, rest. I was miserable, terribly sad, because it had happened so suddenly. And then, I found you and watched every video. I fell in love with the food you showed and began to smile with every episode. Now, my heart had surgery, I'm doing much, much better and I want to thank you from the depths of my heart for the strength and joy you gave with your videos 🙏💚 Thank you and I wish your family and you everything good 🙏💚

This is how my family was growing up and throughout my life. My granny did the cooking, we helped. Everyone in my family doesn’t know how to cook small. Even for just my husband and I, I cook enough to feed at least 10 people. I guess I like having enough in case others show up. I always eat the leftovers though, so no waste. I’m from Florida, but have no idea what all I have in my family. My grandpas name was O’Donald which I’ve been told is an Irish thing, or something like that, because of the O’ part. I don’t know lol.

This video brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful is life when you’re surrounded by loving family ❤

[@fr3agy]

Ok so here are all my thoughts after watching the whole video: - ughhh the color grading by Chris - BREATHTAKING!!! - the shots where you sit next to your nonna - SO BEAUTIFUL - how your mum kisses you and your sister - PURE LOVE WHAT A MOTHER - the moments in the kitchen with gossiping, fighting, laughing, talking, cooking - SO AUTHENTIC, YOU COULD JUST CREATE A MOVIE IN THAT ONE ROOM - you nonnas savage comment when you asked why the fish seller didn’t clean the whole fish - HILARIOUS HAHAHAH - your filming style - INCREDIBLE 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@arieljoylipat7115]

This was an hour long and it still wasn’t long enough 😭😭 I never comment on videos but this was so beautiful and wholesome to watch! You’ve captured such beautiful moments ❤your family is so precious 🫶✨✨

[@RonHanks]

So good as always. You are going to appreciate these videos beyond belief in like 30 or 40 years. They are going to be such a time capsule for you and your family. I appreciate the color grading and some of your shot selections are so 1960's and 70's Italian. Love it!

[@samraceric9940]

i used to work at a barilla manufacturing company and brought so many boxes home, it's awesome to see your nonna using them in italy too 😌🤝🏼

[@yangdyoung]

From a Filipina viewer’s perspective, what makes Rosie’s videos so comforting and entertaining at the same time is that, I feel so connected to their culture. The family gathering, the festive amount of foods cooked by her grandfathers and uncles in big pots, the friendly people around her wherever she goes... everything in Rosie’s videos are so heartwarming to see. The feeling is so nostalgic, like I’m coming back home when in fact, I have never been to Italy. I love you Rosie ❤

[@yangdyoung]

In addition, I also grew up as a Lola’s (nonna) girl which makes me so happy when they’re together. Unfortunately, my nonna already passed away but I’m healed now. Long live to all nonnas out there!

[@californiamaki1595]

Filipino here din! Exactly my sentiments! Everything feels very familiar especially if you grew up in the probinsya. With the fiesta celebrations of a patron saint to neighbors visiting for the latest town gossip just feels like home. It's amazing how we feel very much connected to this culture from the other side of the globe.

[@nowhere3950]

​@@californiamaki1595we were colonised by a european country so it's no wonder why we share some bits of their culture and practices

[@Eliane8lg]

I am not italian but I come from a small island in Spain and I used to have this before moving abroad due to job opportunities/studies. I miss them and this peaceful life so much. I am crying right now with happy tears because of the good memories I had the chance to experienced: having a table full of family, exploring with cousins/friends, the village fairs/festivals, fresh food, the sea nearby... Thank you for sharing a bit of your culture and family. It seems lovely and I am sure they all are. This video is a good idea to keep the memory alive Buina fortuna nella vita, vicina❤

[@StormiGenshin]

Found this channel now, watched the whole video, bought the book. 10/10 experience.

[@TheFadingMan]

I get a real sense of Italy and family when I watch your videos and I love them. Very authentic. Keep uploading.

[@roukiach7157]

I think that the countries that overlook the Mediterranean Sea, such as Italy, Spain, southern France, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, we have almost the same atmosphere and daily family life, especially in the summer, and this is very cool💗💗

[@laeraiii]

Yes 100%

[@yuzeymaokanime583]

Also Greece and Turkey

[@maissakachaou6701]

1000%%%%

[@gabrielsanabriaibieta]

Latin America is also very similar

[@Lien_AlMansouri]

The Middle East in general, Egypt and Asian countries Philippines....., I don't know why you're trying to seem European, because I know that drinking wine and mingling is unacceptable in Algeria and Morocco, something that has nothing to do with the Mediterranean.The culture you have is southern European

[@aryanachoudhury3199]

Sending so much love from Assam, India 🇮🇳. I lost my grandma when I was very young, your Nonna is such a sweetheart, she is warm, maternal, you are blessed. The internet has fallen in love with your Nonna ❤🥺 thank you for showcasing your authentic Italian roots, I love and admire your family. I am going to visit Calabria someday ✨

[@refimariska18]

Your video heals me 😭❤ I've been looking for videos like this before... such beautiful family, tradition and country 💕

[@rubyyoung2822]

This made me cry! What a beautiful family and that food 😍 I have family in southern Italy and I haven't been back to visit in years. You capture so perfectly what it's like there and it makes me so nostalgic for the wonderful times I've had there. Grazie

[@paolovalentino9664]

As an italian thank you so much for this amazing work of art. You really bring the best of our country with this series. Keep going!

[@missdann]

For years now these videos have been inspiring me to be a better cook! Not many in my family cook much, but your nonna inspired me so much I decided the first step to becoming a great nonna myself one day is starting those traditions myself! To anyone else out there feeling similar take this as the sign to just jump into cooking! I have learned so much and shared so much love over the meals I have cooked! Can’t wait for the cook book 🎉

[@dckreativagenziadicomunica6382]

CHE BELLO ! complimenti

[@enaixelarenverse4858]

Same energy here ❤

[@kykykykyky10]

These videos make me realize how important to choose the right partner and create the family you feel home with no matter what! This makes me thrive to be a good mom, wife, sibling and to be kind and giving and love unconditionally. Thank you Nonna you're definitely a woman to look up too ❤

[@Sugaredquills]

I’m proud of being Italian ❤

[@moonjin7778]

something about this series feels so comfortable, nostalgic and beautiful, thank you Rosie for making these videos 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@kaylahD_ford]

First of all, I don’t think your nonna ever ages since you’ve begun these videos! She looks awesome. She looks so strong and totally there mentally. I can’t help but notice how healthy everyone looks. In America it is very frowned upon to eat bread/pasta on a somewhat daily basis and dessert is treated similarly. You’re a glutton if you want dessert. Everyone’s scared of being overweight. All I can think of is how free everyone looks with a strong zest for the simple moments in life.

[@Estefaniatx99]

The thought of you having this on camera and years from now you’ll be able to see these precious memories are priceless 🥹 despite I having a big Mexican family we aren’t close enough to do things like this but I hope to change that for my future little family 🩷

[@thebarnards4374]

I am recovering from wisdom tooth surgery and I stumbled upon your videos. Amazing content and beautiful documentation. Beautiful blessing of life!

[@allthingschey]

I love how close your family is and how rich your traditions are. It seems like such an idyllic life.

[@moeblackx]

I can't tell what I'm more jealous of - how close and lovely your family is or how much access you have to diverse healthy foods hahaha

[@happydaze5732]

I love this video so much! It reminded greatly of my first ever holiday(Castel Volturno,Naples) in 2017. This video is exactly what I experienced there: warm & friendly people, amazing food & pastries, farmers market, beautiful beaches, aunties dropping by & having banters, going out & about after dinner showing off their latest purchase, tv in the kitchen, tasty seafoods etc etc. I’m forever grateful to my friend for showing me her Italy! Your video is just 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 so very good & heart warming- Grazie mille💕

[@Jaaysilva_]

I seriously find so much comfort in watching these videos. Idk why but I love it!! Please keep making these, the way you edit and put everything together is smooth and perfect. I love how you capture every detail also ❤️❤️❤️❤️ we love you rosieee 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@memariie]

you really outdid yourself with this one Rosie! The videography and the colourgrading looks wonderful, I can see you're getting better with each video. The way you capture everyday life as an Italian family is so wonderful. Keep going you're really great at it! I can't wait for your next work :)

[@chemnpsych]

[@yuezhou7392]

Your video makes me realize there’s so much that I can explore and there are many people who I love and care in this world ✨

[@n.c.467]

I have watched this glorious video 3 times...never tired of it...such a great representation of your family, your cuisine and your country...11 out if 10, Rosie❤🎉!!

[@kastrovilla8559]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, DEAREST ROSIE AND NONNA, GIVING US THE CHANCE TO SHARE THE TABLE OF A TRUE, SO ADORABLE FAMILY !!!!!! GRATEFUL !!!!!!!

[@silverlimosine]

I watched this video on the day you posted it while my two-year-old daughter was in the room, and in the last four days since it was posted, she keeps asking to watch “the video of the girl eating with her family“ ❤

[@emmaplover3228]

That’s so sweet 🥹

[@bbyyerim]

i love how homely this whole video feels like. summer is my least favourite season, but while watching this video it made me miss summer like crazy, you captured the best things that summer can have, family, the beach and the home cooked meals 🫶🏻

[@MrSandersonMr]

Thank you thank you thank you. I’m brazilian, but this video encapsulated my childhood in so many ways. I’m beyond grateful… my heart is smiling.

[@heyimsammmi]

these videos are my comfort videos - your grandma is so cute and precious! and the joy of everyone sitting together at the table and eating lunch everyday is so lovely. can't wait for next years! sending lots of love x

[@anna911]

The quality of this video is insane. I love the style, the content, your family, everything!

[@carolinamartinezrodrigo9847]

Your video made me cry remembering my own childhood. I'm from Spain but my family was like yours. As you said, "never take for granted your family". Thank you

[@afetoasmr]

Nonna, you are perfect 🩷🌸
