Great Depression Cooking with Clara

by Kelsey


For a more nostalgic look at cheap eating, visit 93-year-old Clara Cannucciari as she prepares recipes her mother made during the Great Depression. ShoppingBlog.com recently wrote about Clara and Frugal Nosh had to check her out.

In YouTube videos (5-7min long) and DVDs all edited by her son, Christopher Cannucciari, Clara shares personal memories and sweet anecdotes while she cooks – an endearing touch that doesn’t take too much time for you impatient cooks.

We liked the Poor Man’s Meal, an easy-to-make concoction of hot dogs, potatoes, onions, oil, tomato sauce, and water. After she finishes cooking, the camera shows her family members hungrily polishing it off.
