Clara Cannucciari, 93 year old cook and great grandmother, recounts her childhood during the Great Depression as she prepares meals from the era.  Here is the first of seven episodes:

I love this. Real stories of when we made "stone soup".

Yeah,  I might buy the DVD.   After watching the episode I diced some potatoes and onions then fried them with olive oil like she did.  The family ate it up. Simple, cheap, yet tasty.

When my father went to law school and we lived off the money borrowed on the mortgage, sometimes we ate "krumber and knaedel", Hungarian for "potatoes and dumplings".

No one ever had to tell me to finish my meal, and, at that time, cost only about 25 cents to fill me up.
