Great Depression Cooking

Ha! Look what I found...

94 year old cook, author and great grandmother, Clara, recounts her childhood during the Great Depression as she prepares meals from the era. Learn how to make simple yet delicious dishes while listening to stories from the Great Depression.

Couscous was Clara's father, Giuseppe Bonfani's, absolute favorite recipe. Clara recreates the recipe that Giuseppe's sister brought all the way back from Africa via Tunis, Tunisia.

The recipe can also be found in Clara's new book "Clara's Kitchen", available everywhere.

1. Thanks for posting Clara's video.

I hadn't seen this one yet. Great ending where the cook gets a back-rub :-)

It's so great she makes these videos/dvd's/recipe books so her history of Depression era cooking is preserved.
