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

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.

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 😄

This is the definition of "I think I like this little life."

Literally so many people tried doing this same topic but no one can top your authenticity. Thanks for a whole 1 hour video of an Italian village life that I enjoyed every minute of

[franxine.]

It’s been 4 months. No pressure but please come back soon! I really love ur videos, it eases my anxiety! Sending u so much love 🥰

[yxwang]

In this era of short videos, I can't believe I watched this one hour video without even fast forwarding. Rosie is my favorite YouTuber. Her shooting style is really comfortable, and the beautiful visuals make people want to go on vacation in Italy immediately 😭

[cugglymonster]

Italians sure do know how to enjoy life to the fullest and appreciate the simple things like family and a good meal.

Nonna works her butt off for the family. I know she’s older than me, and I’m 70 I couldn’t keep up with her!!! Bless you Nonna!!!

[unovacitizen]

What Rosie has over most vloggers is authenticity. I'm italian and the way she captures moments doesn't feel scripted or forced at all

[foxwilliamulder]

I immediately started crying within the first few minutes. This is such a beautiful series, I can't explain how lucky you are to be able to live in such a beautiful region and share these moments with family amongst fresh food. It's pure joy. I wish this kind of living was accessible to everyone, we would all be so much more content with life.

[Tonibperez]

This feels like a studio ghibli movie but the italian live action version. Your content is so authentic and wholesome. Love you, your family and culture. Thank you for taking the time to share this gift with us <3

WHERE ARE YOU!!! WE miss your aesthetic Italy videos, I keep checking for an upload

[andreascottmoreira]

This video is art. You’ve managed to incorporate photography, sceneries, tradition, family, the heart of Italian culture as it is. You’re so lucky and oh so talented

[sindhupellakuru]

Usually a silent subscriber but, that was one of the most genuine and heartwarming video I’ve seen. That feeling you get when you get to spend with extended family you haven’t seen for a while, especially grandparents is just different and you’ve captured it very well 😊. It made me miss my grandma especially her amazing cooking back in India so much.

[sofiemiltoft]

You capture Italian summer like no one else. It makes you completely homesick. Your nonna’s quiet devotion to her family is so admirable. The joy on her face surrounded by her family on her birthday nearly made me cry♥️

[nelina]

it has been three months and this is probably my 20th time rewatching this video. miss you x

[nikenash]

Colour grading of this vlog is stunning, not mention the scene selections, background music and storytelling. Bravo!!

[mongdc]

I have to tell you the reason why this video is so special to me. I didn’t have this growing up and now as an adult I don’t have it either. It’s wholesome to see a family actually sitting down, all together. The eating and having conversations. I love the format, always looking forward to find the next vid

[victoriasecret]

Girl, you can't imagine how grateful I am for your content. It helps me to survive hard times, so relaxing and by watching this you understand what is truly important in life

[justastrangermanymilesaway]

12:32 It's really beautiful that everyone one of them has fresh flowers. The Italian love for one another is admirable 🇩🇿❤🇮🇹

[sugandspice]

I wish more content creators made videos like this. They are so serene and wonderful. I feel like I'm there with your family and enjoying the experience right along with you.
