There is a 93 year old woman named Clara Cannucciari who has become an internet sensation, by posting cooking lessons about cooking family dinners in the Great Depression. Clara makes simple, cheap meals and talks about her family and how they lived during the depression. If you haven't seen her yet, here is her youtube channel: Depression Cooking These are Clara's mother's recipes, loved by a family. Clara's lesson is that the important thing is sitting down together.
I was excited today while I was watching CBS News Sunday Morning to watch a profile of Vic FIrth. He is the 77 year old whose factory makes more than 60% of the drumsticks used in the world. (He also makes the rolling pins we sell in the store, and a line of peppermills with Mario Batali's name on them.) Vi was the principal timpanist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra for 50 years. His factory employs 140 people in Newport Maine, and their products are made from American hardwoods. Passion, knowledge, drive and business smarts made his life and his company. We are proud to carry his excellent rolling pins. Take a look at the story.
