If you’re an American, like me, you probably don’t eat chestnuts despite singing about them every Christmas. Chestnuts are practically a lost food in America but they remain extremely popular in Italy. Today, Eva is giving me my first taste of chestnuts with some Italian chestnut recipes!

Have you guys ever had chestnuts? And do you know of any good places to get them in the US? Asking for a friend… 😅
My love of chestnuts comes from my Grandparents who were from Abruzzi. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas we always had chestnuts and bowls of mixed nuts. Who else remembers the nut bowl with the metal nut cracker and the picks?😊
You guys are so awesome🫶🤍….thank you for all your amazing vlogs and recipes….my wife and I love love love watching you guys and cooking your recipes😊🤗 Much love from us in Canada🇨🇦🇺🇦
THANK YOU…😊
Nothing better than 'castagne'…..
I love chestnuts!
Chestnut farmer on YouTube named Morgan gold. His channel is called goldshaw farms.
Whole Foods, Eataly and other stores local to me carry chestnuts every Christmas season — which is around 6 weeks .
I think there have been some fantastic advancements in restoration of the chestnut trees. I know one conservation group in Asheville NC has been working on it for a few generations and there are more like them all over the east coast. They found stands of healthy trees and got to work.
I know they’ve had years of bad luck. The blight has eventually infected the crossbreeds but some are finally looking promising.
No, come on. You can't do a video on Italian chestnut recipes without even mentioning Capezzoli di Venere. That should be illegal.
Brought back memories when I lived in Florence in the winter of 1971 and before crossing the bridge Santa Trinita in the cold weather buying a paper cone of roasted chestnuts that warmed my hands as I pulled them out to eat crossing the bridge. Love chestnuts. We are lucky here in Lawrence Kansas to have Chestnut farm. Charlie's Chestnuts. You can find them on line and they mail them to buyers.
I rememer in new york when i was a child vendor's on almost every corner roasting chestnuts, im 82 brought back memories with my Mom, Dad, and sister, visiting in new york city, they are gone now and so is new york city.
Thank you so much for the recipes with chestnut flour and chestnuts. I am gluten-sensitive, and pasta made with chestnut flour is definitely my favourite.
One can find quality chestnuts on the east coast NY/NJ during cold months.
Love chestnuts too.
My people boil them…sooooo sweet and delicious..
You both are great together…🥰 Australia
I most definitely would love to see desserts made without sugar and it is very hard to find a fresh Chestnut that is not old
It's not Christmas without chestnuts, especially during your childhood,in Italy ❤
(is there also an italian way to use acorns in cuisine? )
As a Sicilian, I love all these recipes, so thank you for sharing. I’d love to see more desserts with no/little sugar
I love this video. I am leaving for Italy soon and it is chestnut season. So excited to try them when they’re fresh. I will definitely try these recipes when I get back home.
I would love to see an episode about Italian deserts made without sugar.
Eva your hair is crazy
What a fun introduction to chestnuts
I would greatly appreciate Ava sharing her recipes of desserts without sugar
I am Portuguese. So I was raised with Chestnuts. I live in the USA in a very Portuguese community. Chestnuts are available every winter. Love them!
