depression cooking with Clara
February 24th, 2009A few weeks ago I stumbled across mention of Clara, the 93 year old, who has her own youtube depression cooking series. At the time, I didn’t click, but flagged it for later review. I stumbled across it again, today, with time to watch and ended up spending an hour making my way through her episodes. She is charming and makes me weepy eyed for my grandmothers.
If, like everyone, you are tightening your belt for the long recession ahead, her recipes are worth entertaining. Regardless of your financial situation, she is a charming woman, and quite worth inviting into your home by clicking play.

She is really charming…but I think I’d rather order a pizza. If that recipe is typical of what she cooks, your hero, Julia, is rolling over in her grave and Martha, your Mom’s hero, is howling with laughter. People of that generation really didn’t know how to cook. Either of your great grandmothers put on great meals, but they were not culinary masterpieces. Just meat and potatoes. Or peas and pasta.
