    Clara, your recipes …
    Clara, your recipes are mouth-watering and your personality adds so much more. I just adore you. Because of your videos I’ve started getting recipes from my Swedish grandma who lived through the depression. I always knew she was an amazing cook, but I didn’t realize how frugal and resourceful she is. Hearing her stories and wisdom has been amazing too. Thank you for inspiring me to make the effort to preserve her recipes and philosophies.

    I cut my pizza with scissors too! haha. Clara, keep making videos. Your food is amazing, especially now when when not everyone can afford to get all the fancy take-out. My great-grandma used to make pizza like this when she was little, so she taught me when I was little…and it’s a really good recipe. Thank you for sharing Clara! God bless you! :)

    Clara, do you use any specific recipe for your sauce or is it store bought? Do you use pizza sauce or a standard tomato basil/marinara type sauce? I would love to see a video on pasta sauces at some point!

    It’s amazing. I cannot stand mushrooms, but I’m so looking forward to viewing your next video because you’re just so much fun to watch! Your laugh makes me smile! Blessings to you, Clara! :)
