Kind of feel like I'm gaining the childhood and wisdom of a homestyle Italian kitchen even tho i'm not Italian

It’s 1AM & I barely finished baking my pie using your crust & blueberry pie recipe. & lemme just say... I am OBSESSED. It’s flavorful & the crust is perf! I’ve been on the hunt for a good recipe for a while & came across your channel. THANK GOD I DID! I just subscribed because you explain things so well & I absolutely love your energy! Definitely looking forward to trying more of your recipes 💛

Videos are great. I enjoy the background music, the conversational cadence and simplified explanations. It's like hanging out in the same room. Thanks for the lessons.

Can I just adopt you? Love the presentation and the music is what I grew up on in my Italian Grama's house. Now I am teaching my grandkids what I learned from her..... and you... Thanks, Joe! Keep it going!

My mother died a few years ago and she was known for her great meals and wonderful pies. Your love of butter makes me smile and topping your pies with milk and egg wash. As most of the world, I am on self isolating except for a walk in the coulees with my dog. Tired when I got home I tuned in to utube and watched your video on pie crusts and blueberry pie. Thanks, you brought wonderful memories and the smell of great cooking from my Mom and Grandmother as if it was only yesterday. You brightened your viewers day.

OMG. I love Joe's relationship with vanilla and nutmeg. 🤗 I totally related! Trying the pie crust today.

Amazing, so glad I found your channel! I subscribed, and I'm part ITALIAN. My mother's father, Antonio Giacovelli was from Bari. I taught both my daughter and son to bake and cook when they were small children. Barely out of diapers. They both love to cook and now are passing on the tradition. And the sugar on top of this great teaching lesson was playing Volara at the end. My mother's FAVORITE SONG. It brought tears to my eyes. I miss her every day. She made the most amazing strawberry glaze pie, coconut cream, lemon pie, banana cream pie, strudel, ..her crust to was fabulous. Coffee cakes all good Italian and French was her forte...on and on and on. Oh, almost forgot to tell you her merrange. SPELLING was the highest I've ever seen. She was French and Italian descent. A very beautiful and talented woman. A talented designer of clothing..only for her daughter's and granddaughters, and an amazing impressions artist. 💌🎀💌 I make my crust like you do although now I will add the milk instead of cold, cold water. Thank you so much.

Who needs culinary school when we have you and many other great chefs on KZfaq bravo you’re awesome!!!!

Hey Joe! Great videos....FYI, lemon juice is added to the blueberries when cooking them for flavor, yes, but the acid in the lemon juice also helps to release / develop the natural pectin in the berries. The pectin and the corn starch or tapioca flour will help keep the juices from the berries from being runny. Always add the vanilla after you remove the berries from heat. Let the cooked berries cool down before you add the vanilla as the vanilla is VERY delicate and the heat will destroy it. Thanks for sharing your expertise and videos with all of us...

Set 'em up Joe, set 'em up Joe. Thanks very much. I love your kitchen and pans.

I cook My Apples this way for Apple Pie, just until they start to give off moisture. Makes a very good pie.

you always know when a person is passionate about cooking....they always talk lovingly and descriptively about the food

I love how happy he is, and how much he loves to cook. 🌷

OMG, Joe, you are the best! I do love to see you taste the first bite, you're so real and it shows. I was told by an Italian that "eating is one of the finest things of life", and your love of cooking proves it. Thank you for sharing your heritage and talent.

Wow. Made this today and my family devoured it. You weren't lying, Joe. Def the best Blueberry Pie ever. Also I really enjoy your instruction style and your obvious love of cooking. Thanks for being you.

I made this for my husband last year on his birthday and this year I'm making it for my dad. So, no thank YOU, joe for this delicious pie that neither my husband or I can forget.

Looks like a terrific recipe. Just one thing: I've lived in Italy for 36 years and have never seen anyone bake a pie but me (and my children). Pie is American, as far as I know, but definitely delicious, and your recipe for both the crust and the filling look super.

Hi Joe. Thanks for the attention to detail on the crust. Now here for the blueberry pie video.

I could go for a piece of that right now. My Italian grandma would approve.

Joe is amazing! He explains everything clearly. XOX

I love how you are detailed...i'm excited to try the crust..

This was an absolutely fantastic presentation and I envy you for eating that pie that looks absolutely delicious. Thank you so much.

He is the best...what a great pie crust recipe and blueberry prep for the pie filling..WOW

Thank you Joe. I am going to use your recipe for my Thanksgiving pies. One thing I am thankful for is "Old school Italian". Happy Holidays to you and your family

Thank you Joe! I like you and will enjoy your pie!

When making your filling, my grandson asked what I was cooking that smelled so good. It was messy (first time for me making a crust on my counter top). I have never had a crust that rolled out so easy, perfect crust! Thank you , I think this will be a favorite for thanksgiving.

I made your blueberry pie and pie crust yesterday as it was my husband's birthday. What a hit!! It is delicious!! Thank you for all you do. We love your channel!! I took a pic of it and wish I could share it. It was beautiful!

Every good Italian knows you must add ice cream to your pie. Enjoyed watching your video and love the background music. Italian from Philadelphia

I am happy to watch your video,making pie crust,thank you Joe for showing that

I don't eat sweets very often, but blueberry pie is my weak spot. This is the best recipe I've ever seen and you explain everything in such great detail. I guarantee I'll be making this very soon. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks a lot Joe. I look forward to many more videos from you. Regards.

I just made that pie and I’m very excited to try it. It looks beautiful actually, just can’t wait to try it.

Really enjoyed Joe’s presentation, guess what’s going on my shopping list tomorrow!!!

Thank you Joe, this was the most delicious blueberry pie I have ever made.

FINALLY I have found the perfect pie recipe! This is much different than any other recipe I’ve tried, and after baking this pie i am feeling so proud. Thank you Joe!

Great presentation Joe...makes me miss times in the kitchen with my Italian friends. I'm attempting this fabulous pie recipe this very evening. Thanks

I will be trying this! Thanks Joe!!

Thank you for sharing your pie shell recipe and for my favourite pie, blueberry pie. You make it look deliiiooousss.

Once again another great recipe and you made it look easy

Thanks Joe perfect recipe!

Love Italian cooking with Joe!!!

I’m a new subscriber and that pie!! Amazing!! I am absolutely doing a video binge of your videos! 😁 Thanks for sharing this recipe and the crust recipe! ... I love the music while cooking! 💕

Oh my it looks sooo yummy! Thanks a bunch, Joe!

Wow" lovely blueberry pie. Great job.Thank you for sharing..😋😋😋😋😋

Joe, PLEASE add written recipes!!! I love your recipes and I watch them, but I would love to have the recipes as well.

That's the best looking blueberry pie I've seen. I've gotta make this soon. Blueberries are on my shopping list now.

So glad I stumbled onto this video & channel. I can hardly wait to try this crust & pie. I LOVE bluberries.

Wow...this is the best pie recipe I've ever seen...I'm definitely going to make this...thank you!

Thank u Joe.Just love your teaching

Pie came out amazing....and now I'm waiting for my second pie to come out of the oven. Yes sir. Thank you very much.

Awesome!!!!!! Love this so much. The music in the background makes it. Thanks. Can’t wait to watch more!

Love your enthusiasm

I love what lemon does to blueberries, and I also always add a dash of freshly gerated nutmeg to any blueberry recipe, so I would add about a half teaspoon of nutmeg. I always grate nutmeg right into the liquid or the batter because the flavor notes I like are so volotile that they are quickly lost in the air. No mis en place for nutmeg in my kitchen.

Excellent recipe for both the pie dough and the blueberry filling. My pie is in the oven right now. I thoroughly enjoyed both videos. Good explanations and directions. I can't wait to watch your other videos. Nothing but thanks, appreciation, and kudos coming for me.

I am dying here... That looks LOVELEY! 👌

wow, this pie looks so scrumptious!! Can't wait to try making it.

Blueberry Pie is my most favourite pie. I sure want to make this pie shell recipe and blueberry filling. Thank you Chef Joe.

Excellent recipe and technique! I will try the egg wash inside the bottom crust. Never thought of cooking the berries first, so I might try that, and also add the nutmeg. I do prefer using tapioca instead of cornstarch, because that's how my mother baked pies. The ancestors came from Germany, so pies were a big deal! I sprinkled the top with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Otherwise, your recipe looks fantastic. Including the pie crust, which I saw earlier. Wondering why you used unsalted butter. You don't have any salt in the berry mixture. I think a little salt would also bring out the flavor.

Love Your recipes you make it enjoyable to watch and every time I make a recipe of yours comes out beautiful

Sounds wonderful

By far, the very best series of cooking videos - we're just missing a glass of wine ! Thank you so much for sharing this !! PS: fab music !!

Beautiful pie I love watching you cook because you make me feel like I can cook like you LOL. (I'm learning how to cook so I'm no where near your level)... thank you for the videos

Thank you!! Going to try your pie recipe. Looks amazing!

This is one of the Best cooking shows on u tube. Thanks for your detailed professional advice. Your Gram is proudly watching over you🥰🥰💕💕👍👍 I can almost taste each one of your meals. Keep up the good work!🥰

Wow…..now I have to make one!!! Looks awesome!

This was heavenly to watch in combination with the preceding crust tutorial… I can almost smell and taste those blueberries👍🏽🤷‍♀️ During blueberry season in East TX we used to purchase berries to last all year and freeze them for pies, cobblers, muffins, scones, preserves, pancakes, biscotti, smoothies, fruit salads, etc… Those were the days‼️🫐🍋🫐😘💋🫐🍋🫐Thank you for some amazing new tips and techniques.

Thanks Joe...looks soooo good! I want a piece right now!

Love this channel....think it combination of music soft and classic, and the food, ty🥰

Great ideas!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤️

Yum, one of my favorites, blueberry pie.

I’m going to make this along with the dough from your previous video! Thank you so much!

We take the dough scrapes and roll them out and put melted butter over it and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and pop it in the oven and use a cutting roller on it as soon as it comes out of the oven to cool. It’s amazing. As a kid and now my grown kids hurry to make sure they get all they want because it’s gone in minutes.

Hi, Joe, great videos, thank you!

His videos are so good...I now want to start baking more! Great teacher!

Joe this pie dough is beautiful. My life I can’t believe I could have been using it. Mom was a pie maker and used crisp o. I never got the gift. Until I followed this recipe. Thank you!

I've been looking 4 the type of pie crust recipe my grandma did, the flaky bottom especially & wow! I think I got it, lol. Ur great way of teaching how 2 & the swell music, oh so much fun Joe ur Grandma & mine r so proud of u. Thanks a load. Blessings 2 u & urs

I can't wait to try the recipes for pie crust and blueberry pie. They look delicious!

✨☁️GOOD HEAVENS☁️✨ I am nearly fifty years old and today I learn about the most heavenly 'blueberry-nutmeg-lovemaking'!! Life is wonderful! Thanks a bundle from Germany 🙏

Thanks for the awesome video and thanks for Dean and Tony and the guys, great vibes here.

Looks so delicious everything you make is the right way.

Watched many of your vids. Your one hell of a cook and now,,,,, I am. Thanks Brother.

Really exceptional pie crust and I’ve been baking since I was in elementary school. Love that it’s in real time. It’s the flakiest crust ever! Thanks a lot. Joe.

I am proud .. of this Pie.. Amen...

Thanks so much for an awesome video. I have really enjoyed watching this one and the pie crust one. learned a lot.

It is almost like getting a baking lesson from a relative in my native Chicago suburbs..Easy to follow and up-beat. Shows what I've been doing less than ideally for 30 years.Tks!

Thank you for the recipe making it currently!

Looks Delicious, I can't wait to make one. Yummy.

Sweet Jeezus I'm so going to make this pie! And Dean singing in the background! Reminds me of being home cooking for the holidays! Thank you for that spark of memory and emotion. 😊

Can't wait to taste this pie. Thanks for this video and the pie dough video. You make it look easy. And tasty.

vow, good job. I like the way u explain each step in so much detail.

I can't wait to try this recipe. My husband loves pie and I have always been afraid of making the crust. He has been asking for a Sour Cream and Raisin Pie for ever. I made one years ago but, even with the filling tasting great, the crust was not very good. I think with your crust recipe and tips, I'm ready to try it again.

Very nice presentation. Thank you for sharing.

Oh my! Looks so yummy!☕️

Thank you Joe for the video, cannot wait till I can make and bake it. my son Mario and family will. love. it.

Thank you I learned how to make pastry crust. My mouth is watering

Well, that was fun. I watched the pie crust then the blueberry filling. I don't think you see this since it is now 2021 but I enjoyed your delivery. Charming. I don't think I would take as much time with the pie crust because I'm just to lazy. Thank you.

Defiantly making this, thankyou joe 😀

This guy loves food I think as much as I do everything he is doing reminds me of how I feel when I get in the kitchen cook things like this

This looks awesome. I am going to bake my crusts like this. I have always wanted to know how to make a really good pie crust. Now I know.

Thank you I now know how to make a blueberry pie the right way. Buon natale

I must thank you for sharing your recipe it' look amazing and I'm gonna try it.
