Blueberry Pie | Cooking Italian with Joe 

Kind of feel like I'm gaining the childhood and wisdom of a homestyle Italian kitchen even tho i'm not Italian

My mother died a few years ago and she was known for her great meals and wonderful pies. Your love of butter makes me smile and topping your pies with milk and egg wash. As most of the world, I am on self isolating except for a walk in the coulees with my dog. Tired when I got home I tuned in to utube and watched your video on pie crusts and blueberry pie. Thanks, you brought wonderful memories and the smell of great cooking from my Mom and Grandmother as if it was only yesterday. You brightened your viewers day.

Videos are great. I enjoy the background music, the conversational cadence and simplified explanations. It's like hanging out in the same room. Thanks for the lessons.

It’s 1AM & I barely finished baking my pie using your crust & blueberry pie recipe. & lemme just say... I am OBSESSED. It’s flavorful & the crust is perf! I’ve been on the hunt for a good recipe for a while & came across your channel. THANK GOD I DID! I just subscribed because you explain things so well & I absolutely love your energy! Definitely looking forward to trying more of your recipes 💛

OMG. I love Joe's relationship with vanilla and nutmeg. 🤗 I totally related! Trying the pie crust today.

Can I just adopt you? Love the presentation and the music is what I grew up on in my Italian Grama's house. Now I am teaching my grandkids what I learned from her..... and you... Thanks, Joe! Keep it going!

Hey Joe! Great videos....FYI, lemon juice is added to the blueberries when cooking them for flavor, yes, but the acid in the lemon juice also helps to release / develop the natural pectin in the berries. The pectin and the corn starch or tapioca flour will help keep the juices from the berries from being runny. Always add the vanilla after you remove the berries from heat. Let the cooked berries cool down before you add the vanilla as the vanilla is VERY delicate and the heat will destroy it. Thanks for sharing your expertise and videos with all of us...

Amazing, so glad I found your channel! I subscribed, and I'm part ITALIAN. My mother's father, Antonio Giacovelli was from Bari. I taught both my daughter and son to bake and cook when they were small children. Barely out of diapers. They both love to cook and now are passing on the tradition. And the sugar on top of this great teaching lesson was playing Volara at the end. My mother's FAVORITE SONG. It brought tears to my eyes. I miss her every day. She made the most amazing strawberry glaze pie, coconut cream, lemon pie, banana cream pie, strudel, ..her crust to was fabulous. Coffee cakes all good Italian and French was her forte...on and on and on. Oh, almost forgot to tell you her merrange. SPELLING was the highest I've ever seen. She was French and Italian descent. A very beautiful and talented woman. A talented designer of clothing..only for her daughter's and granddaughters, and an amazing impressions artist. 💌🎀💌 I make my crust like you do although now I will add the milk instead of cold, cold water. Thank you so much.

Wow. Made this today and my family devoured it. You weren't lying, Joe. Def the best Blueberry Pie ever. Also I really enjoy your instruction style and your obvious love of cooking. Thanks for being you.

I love how happy he is, and how much he loves to cook. 🌷

Set 'em up Joe, set 'em up Joe. Thanks very much. I love your kitchen and pans.

you always know when a person is passionate about cooking....they always talk lovingly and descriptively about the food

This was an absolutely fantastic presentation and I envy you for eating that pie that looks absolutely delicious. Thank you so much.

FINALLY I have found the perfect pie recipe! This is much different than any other recipe I’ve tried, and after baking this pie i am feeling so proud. Thank you Joe!

He is the best...what a great pie crust recipe and blueberry prep for the pie filling..WOW

Thank you for sharing your pie shell recipe and for my favourite pie, blueberry pie. You make it look deliiiooousss.

Excellent recipe for both the pie dough and the blueberry filling. My pie is in the oven right now. I thoroughly enjoyed both videos. Good explanations and directions. I can't wait to watch your other videos. Nothing but thanks, appreciation, and kudos coming for me.

Great presentation Joe...makes me miss times in the kitchen with my Italian friends. I'm attempting this fabulous pie recipe this very evening. Thanks

Who needs culinary school when we have you and many other great chefs on RU-vid bravo you’re awesome!!!!

I don't eat sweets very often, but blueberry pie is my weak spot. This is the best recipe I've ever seen and you explain everything in such great detail. I guarantee I'll be making this very soon. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks a lot Joe. I look forward to many more videos from you. Regards.

Thank you Joe. I am going to use your recipe for my Thanksgiving pies. One thing I am thankful for is "Old school Italian". Happy Holidays to you and your family

I cook My Apples this way for Apple Pie, just until they start to give off moisture. Makes a very good pie.

Pie came out amazing....and now I'm waiting for my second pie to come out of the oven. Yes sir. Thank you very much.

Wow" lovely blueberry pie. Great job.Thank you for sharing..😋😋😋😋😋

I made this for my husband last year on his birthday and this year I'm making it for my dad. So, no thank YOU, joe for this delicious pie that neither my husband or I can forget.

Joe is amazing! He explains everything clearly. XOX

I made your blueberry pie and pie crust yesterday as it was my husband's birthday. What a hit!! It is delicious!! Thank you for all you do. We love your channel!! I took a pic of it and wish I could share it. It was beautiful!

OMG, Joe, you are the best! I do love to see you taste the first bite, you're so real and it shows. I was told by an Italian that "eating is one of the finest things of life", and your love of cooking proves it. Thank you for sharing your heritage and talent.

Wow...this is the best pie recipe I've ever seen...I'm definitely going to make this...thank you!

I am happy to watch your video,making pie crust,thank you Joe for showing that

So glad I stumbled onto this video & channel. I can hardly wait to try this crust & pie. I LOVE bluberries.

Thank you Joe! I like you and will enjoy your pie!

When making your filling, my grandson asked what I was cooking that smelled so good. It was messy (first time for me making a crust on my counter top). I have never had a crust that rolled out so easy, perfect crust! Thank you , I think this will be a favorite for thanksgiving.

Awesome!!!!!! Love this so much. The music in the background makes it. Thanks. Can’t wait to watch more!

That's the best looking blueberry pie I've seen. I've gotta make this soon. Blueberries are on my shopping list now.

Oh my it looks sooo yummy! Thanks a bunch, Joe!

This is one of the Best cooking shows on u tube. Thanks for your detailed professional advice. Your Gram is proudly watching over you🥰🥰💕💕👍👍 I can almost taste each one of your meals. Keep up the good work!🥰

Blueberry Pie is my most favourite pie. I sure want to make this pie shell recipe and blueberry filling. Thank you Chef Joe.

Joe this pie dough is beautiful. My life I can’t believe I could have been using it. Mom was a pie maker and used crisp o. I never got the gift. Until I followed this recipe. Thank you!

I just made that pie and I’m very excited to try it. It looks beautiful actually, just can’t wait to try it.

Thanks for the awesome video and thanks for Dean and Tony and the guys, great vibes here.

I love how you are detailed...i'm excited to try the crust..

I've been looking 4 the type of pie crust recipe my grandma did, the flaky bottom especially & wow! I think I got it, lol. Ur great way of teaching how 2 & the swell music, oh so much fun Joe ur Grandma & mine r so proud of u. Thanks a load. Blessings 2 u & urs

Once again another great recipe and you made it look easy

Love Your recipes you make it enjoyable to watch and every time I make a recipe of yours comes out beautiful

This was heavenly to watch in combination with the preceding crust tutorial… I can almost smell and taste those blueberries👍🏽🤷‍♀️ During blueberry season in East TX we used to purchase berries to last all year and freeze them for pies, cobblers, muffins, scones, preserves, pancakes, biscotti, smoothies, fruit salads, etc… Those were the days‼️🫐🍋🫐😘💋🫐🍋🫐Thank you for some amazing new tips and techniques.

I’m a new subscriber and that pie!! Amazing!! I am absolutely doing a video binge of your videos! 😁 Thanks for sharing this recipe and the crust recipe! ... I love the music while cooking! 💕

✨☁️GOOD HEAVENS☁️✨ I am nearly fifty years old and today I learn about the most heavenly 'blueberry-nutmeg-lovemaking'!! Life is wonderful! Thanks a bundle from Germany 🙏

I am dying here... That looks LOVELEY! 👌

Really enjoyed Joe’s presentation, guess what’s going on my shopping list tomorrow!!!

Really exceptional pie crust and I’ve been baking since I was in elementary school. Love that it’s in real time. It’s the flakiest crust ever! Thanks a lot. Joe.

It is almost like getting a baking lesson from a relative in my native Chicago suburbs..Easy to follow and up-beat. Shows what I've been doing less than ideally for 30 years.Tks!

Love Italian cooking with Joe!!!

Excellent recipe and technique! I will try the egg wash inside the bottom crust. Never thought of cooking the berries first, so I might try that, and also add the nutmeg. I do prefer using tapioca instead of cornstarch, because that's how my mother baked pies. The ancestors came from Germany, so pies were a big deal! I sprinkled the top with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Otherwise, your recipe looks fantastic. Including the pie crust, which I saw earlier. Wondering why you used unsalted butter. You don't have any salt in the berry mixture. I think a little salt would also bring out the flavor.

wow, this pie looks so scrumptious!! Can't wait to try making it.

Beautiful pie I love watching you cook because you make me feel like I can cook like you LOL. (I'm learning how to cook so I'm no where near your level)... thank you for the videos

Thank u Joe.Just love your teaching

Thank you Joe, this was the most delicious blueberry pie I have ever made.

I will be trying this! Thanks Joe!!

His videos are so good...I now want to start baking more! Great teacher!

Thank you!! Going to try your pie recipe. Looks amazing!

Watched many of your vids. Your one hell of a cook and now,,,,, I am. Thanks Brother.

Love your enthusiasm

I can't wait to try this recipe. My husband loves pie and I have always been afraid of making the crust. He has been asking for a Sour Cream and Raisin Pie for ever. I made one years ago but, even with the filling tasting great, the crust was not very good. I think with your crust recipe and tips, I'm ready to try it again.

Love this channel....think it combination of music soft and classic, and the food, ty🥰

Hi Joe. Thanks for the attention to detail on the crust. Now here for the blueberry pie video.

One of the best cooking videos I've ever watched.

Thanks Joe...looks soooo good! I want a piece right now!

Can't wait to taste this pie. Thanks for this video and the pie dough video. You make it look easy. And tasty.

Looks so delicious everything you make is the right way.

I’m going to make this along with the dough from your previous video! Thank you so much!

vow, good job. I like the way u explain each step in so much detail.

Thank you Joe for the video, cannot wait till I can make and bake it. my son Mario and family will. love. it.

Hi, Joe, great videos, thank you!

I’m excited to try your recipe! I’ve never used milk in a pie crust before. I’ve only ever used ice water but it does make a lot of since that water would dilute the flavors. Thank you so much for sharing!

oh yeh, i love the explanations you give. it makes so much more sense when you know why you should do something.

By far, the very best series of cooking videos - we're just missing a glass of wine ! Thank you so much for sharing this !! PS: fab music !!

Thanks Joe perfect recipe!

Great ideas!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤️

Looks Delicious, I can't wait to make one. Yummy.

I have hearing problems and would appreciate no ambient noise, music, but I heard enough to make this absolutely best blueberry pie I, my family and friends have ever tasted! Keep explaining, knowledge is king. I found you by accident and am subscribing. I can't wait to see what other recipes you have to offer. Cucinare per ringraziare!

This guy loves food I think as much as I do everything he is doing reminds me of how I feel when I get in the kitchen cook things like this

I can't wait to try the recipes for pie crust and blueberry pie. They look delicious!

Looks like a terrific recipe. Just one thing: I've lived in Italy for 36 years and have never seen anyone bake a pie but me (and my children). Pie is American, as far as I know, but definitely delicious, and your recipe for both the crust and the filling look super.

Well, that was fun. I watched the pie crust then the blueberry filling. I don't think you see this since it is now 2021 but I enjoyed your delivery. Charming. I don't think I would take as much time with the pie crust because I'm just to lazy. Thank you.

Thank you I now know how to make a blueberry pie the right way. Buon natale

The blueberry pie filling looks great! You make it look so easy, I'm going to try it. Hey, Thanks for you secret ingredients.

I LOVE your videos!!! I discovered them just a few weeks ago and have already ordered in my pastry flour and purchased mascarone cheese, Oh my goodness what a taste. I've never tasted it before and you are right about it beig fantastic! I've even learned how to make my own. I am from Napa Valley, CA where everything is fine wine, fine cheeses and defiately Italian. I love it even though I live in another state and don't drink alcohol. I do however enjoy cooking with it. I love your presentation, your energy and your love for your heritage. I woud love to watch you make pasta from scratch. Could you show us that?

You are the best!! going to cook my Blueberry's next time ,I usually at tapioca in my blueberry pie so now i will cook it

Joe, PLEASE add written recipes!!! I love your recipes and I watch them, but I would love to have the recipes as well.

Very nice presentation. Thank you for sharing.

What’s up joe. This is John Michael and I studied this for 3 days to make sure I got everything right and I just made it tonight. It taste so amazing I wish I could send a picture of the blueberry pie and the crust that I made from your recipe and it turned out amazingly wonderful.

Thanks so much for an awesome video. I have really enjoyed watching this one and the pie crust one. learned a lot.

Sounds wonderful

Every good Italian knows you must add ice cream to your pie. Enjoyed watching your video and love the background music. Italian from Philadelphia

Great information...professionally presented! Can’t wait to give it a try 😃. I felt like I was in his kitchen with family!

I wish I had found your vids when you first did them. I like that you explain the science side. Many recipes don't have it, because the cook/chef doesn't know. I'm more likely to make it when it's explained why and how certain things are used. I definitely will make this! Thank you.

Wow…..now I have to make one!!! Looks awesome!

Joeeeeee. You’re killing me with this fabulous pie.

Sweet Jeezus I'm so going to make this pie! And Dean singing in the background! Reminds me of being home cooking for the holidays! Thank you for that spark of memory and emotion. 😊
