My aunt cooked like this for me frequently. She never needed a recipe book just fragments of things in the house. She was great at making substitutions in cooking.

I would rather have a text copy of the comments and recipes. Most videos are not really audible.

I haven’t yet watched the videos, but I already think this woman is awesome. 94 years old and making YouTube videos–wow! Never stop learning.

Times are tough for a lot of us and we need good ideas on how to survive.
Being able to cook good meals out of stuff that is inexpensive is a must. Good food and friends. Life is good!
