Dip Me in Chocolate – On Not Loving Clara’s Cooking Show

Clara Cannucciari’s online cooking show “Depression Era Cooking with Clara” is an Internet sensation, drawing thousands of viewers across the country who follow recipes from this cute Italian granny’s hardscrabble girlhood. Watching the 93-year old Internet phenom whip up pasta, peas and potatoes in her sparse kitchen on transports me to another place and time. A cold water flat in the 1930s?

Not exactly.

Instead, I find myself fantasizing about the luscious Nigella Lawson dipping her beloved Bounty chocolate bars in the deep fryer in her posh London pad.
