SynopsisYouTube(R) sensation Clara Cannucciari shares her treasured recipes and commonsense wisdom in a heartwarming remembrance of the Great Depression Clara Cannucciari is a 94 year-old internet sensation. Her YouTube(R) Great Depression Cooking videos have an army of devoted followers. In Clara's Kitchen , she gives readers words of wisdom to buck up America's spirits, recipes to keep the wolf from the door, and tells her story of growing up during the Great Depression with a tight-knit family and a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" philosophy of living. In between recipes for pasta with peas, eggplant parmesan, chocolate covered biscotti, and other treats Clara gives readers practical advice on cooking nourishing meals for less.

  • Best stories best recipes from an incredibly wonderful woman

    I started watching on YouTube I kept watching and the more I watched the more I couldn’t stop. She reminded me so much of my mother how my mother cooked how my mother held a knife, the pots, the kitchen organization, the dishes for those times when food was scarce wasn’t during the depression for us, but one hard times hit those things that you do hearing her stories for amazing and the love that she had for her family. It’s just a lovely person that she is. I just admire her. I love her always had nice things to say about people and our recipes are delicious actually quite a few of them with the same as my mother’s I’ll watch her over and over again and I’ve made a few recipes and they are amazing. So good so simple yet healthy God bless you Clara. I would’ve given anything just to meet you. It’s a great book with great stories and great recipes. I hope more people try it out.
