Cooking Show Mo Rocca are grandmothers and recipes

More than 15 family members, friends, neighbors, two dogs and a film crew were in the living room and cozy kitchen of Hastings, Minnesota. Replete, Home Slice see a chef of 87 years in Mo Rocca.

"I do not want all the pieces!" Aslaug Warmboe as a former post "Daily Show" broken vigorously stirred a cream sauce for a dish of potatoes. "Oh, damn. Need more butter!"

During the course of the afternoon on the cooking channel "ravioli my grandmother," a series that family recipes shares from previous generations was Warmboe sarcastic, stubborn and brutal display of the ease with which smuggled lamb Icelandic airport security and you get the perfect answer to the joke Rocca was actually filming his speech.

"That's what I call an invasion," he said.

That's just the way he likes Rocca.

"We had a Polish grandmother in Season 1, and at the end of the session, I asked:" Did you have fun? . "Said Rocca, sitting on the wet patio furniture backyard Warmboe family," she said, "It was fun, now child out of my house. '".

Rocca, who created and hosts the series, which is now in its third season, says older grandparents better people because they do not care about the results. You are not looking for a reality show. No wig if your hair is a bit irrelevant. To Warmboe if they think it is time to take a break from the hot lights and do something that is important - how to crochet walked slowly to his chair tea towel - well, that's what will happen.

"These people had a very full life, and on television is so far down the priority list," Rocca said. "You can take it or leave it, that's what we want."

Growing up in the Washington, DC, has his grandmother homemade ravioli every Sunday evening. Rocca She died before I had time to get the recipe. The series is a way to typical dishes, as well as personal stories of immigrants struggling to keep to realize the American dream.

In the first episode in 2012, Ruth dough, a former mathematics teacher in Scarsdale, prepared a dinner Saturday at the parts, like himself., A survivor of the Holocaust South Carolina Millie Martin Rocca taught as a hot coal reminiscent of childhood picking cotton.

And then Warmboe taking a break from his puncture (both material and Rocca) took consider polio as a child in a small town in Iceland and how her mother defied medical orders pick up sea water every morning, then warm. It would then enjoy the feet of his daughter in the bowl and rub. Finally Warmboe was able to go.

The common result of these emotional memories: the tears not chopping onions.

This is the work of Rocca to lighten the mood with jokes sweet, loving a star on the stand-up circuit nursing home failed, and he enjoys it.

"I thought it was a Hokey time when people said it was better to have fun with someone instead of fun at their expense, because I believe that every joke has to have a donkey," he said. "In theory, this is true. Loved But not show." The Daily Show "and those were the noble goals, but I like the simplicity of this. This show means more to me than any other project I've done."

Also Warmboe was finally happy. After Rocca throw cans in the trash instead of punishing the trash and half-way threat on the head with a hammer of Thor Mini utensils from her drawer, which eventually brought compassion to make the ultimate compliment bop:

"It is easy to train."
