Mrs. Phyllis Stokes and Mrs. Clara Cannucciari were two very dear ladies.
Phyllis Stokes grew up during the 1950s and she shares so much information about how she learned to cook and how life in the 50s was. It’s incredible to hear how families were structured in the 50s compared to now. There was an element of stability to it. One of my favorite videos she did was about life in the 50s and how people behaved compared to now. Even though she passed back in January, her channel will continue to go on and she will continue to share her wisdom.

Great Depression Cooking Clara’s Kitchen
Clara Cannucciari grew up in the Great Depression. She brings a slightly different approach to being frugal then Mrs. Phyllis did. While there is a slight difference once you watch both ladies you realize that some of the wisdom from Mrs. Clara’s generation was passed to Mrs. Phyllis’ generation. Mrs. Clara shares about what life was like in the Depression. How she grew up speaking Italian because both of her parents were from Italy. Her mom didn’t really take to English fully but her dad did. She learned English from her cousins. This is a common theme in Mexican homes as well. The kids learn English from older cousins and then teach their siblings and help translate for parents.
