He's one of the few cooks that I watch for the person and not the food.

"We need a nice aluminum foil" - i have no doubt that even his foil tastes better than mine.

passion&love makes the meal taste better also. I ate a meal with the same recepy from two different persons. but the one who cooks it with passion&love make it so much bvetter.

[@marca4443]

Passion or borderline senility? For one thing, the family seems frightened out of their wits. They're cheering and waving their hands every time he turns to them like if they don't they're going into the lasagna next

[@davids_blog1]

[@sfipeer]

i'm glad that people from all over the world watch him cooking... he makes authentic italian food not reproductions! that's the way we do it.. cheers from sicily and a big shout out to gennaro 👍👍👍

"Come on, this is quick!" (spent half the day making the ragu)

[@chronic_daydreamer]

That ragù is worth it. It’s one of the best recipes I’ve ever made, and I’ve done a LOT of cooking in my time.

[@CB-fv4vv]

You have to feed the family like Gennaro

[@youcal08]

I make much more than I need. The rest comes in portioned zip bags. I make Bolognese Sauce and use it for quick Spaghetti preparation.

[@carforumwanker]

so true !!! Brisket and Pork with Puglia wine etc . 4 hours slow cook until the brisket chunks fell to tiny bits .Made the day before .The smell is unreal . Also is amazing on a pizza base

[@amyamyamy17]

New Years resolution: be as passionate about anything as this man is about food. Then work hard enough to be as good at my passion as Gennero is at food.

[@amyamyamy17]

[@tinglydingle]

Hey whoever you are, hope you found something to be passionate about!

[@tSp289]

Half of the reason I watch Gennaro is for the cockney/Italian accent. I could listen to it all day.

[@rudyschwab7709]

For my fellow American viewers, I weighed out the items to convert from metric weight to cups. It's not exact, but I was within a few grams on each measurement. It was close enough to taste as good as Gennaro is claiming: 1/2 Cup of Butter 1 Cup of Flour 4 Cups of Milk 1 Cup of Parmesan Cheese Also, I made a 1/4 recipe and I had enough to make a whole lasagna with none leftover.

[@ellemonadeee]

This recipe came out 7 years ago when I was 17. I've been using it since then but stopped cooking during college. Today, I come back to cook it once again. Timeless recipe!

[@PrivateAckbar]

I love watching Gennaro cook. It's like a magic trick watching him lovingly put things together. I'm sure if i tried to put the same things together i would end up with something quite different.

[@tomzeto]

Thank You Gennaro for teaching us your classic family recipes! Reminds me of my late grandfather's cooking. Tons of butter for everything. So impressive that you don't have big gut eating the way you do! My grandfather passed away from high blood pressure and cholesterol problems. Never stopped him from eating and cooking his delicious meals for the family. Stay healthy Gennaro! Looks like your family will enjoy your cooking for many many years to come!

[@ivsonaguiar4979]

I cooked this for our Christmas lunch and it it came out AMAZING! Just as good as the ones I've had at the high-end Italian restaurants.

[@Ms.Fowlbwahhh]

How can anyone dislike any of this guys videos. It's nothing but pure passion and it's amazing.

[@TheDarwiniser]

I can never understand how store bought lasagne layers perfectly, and seems to be choreographed in its preparation. Some of the best lasagnes ive made came from the oven bubbling and bending into all kinds of shapes, not looking like layers of stainless steel separated by meat and cheese. To see Gennaros do this, makes me proud ;)

[@favoritos2420]

Gennaro is my favorite chef on youtube. Fantastico Gennaro!

[@onzkicg]

“Look at dhat, look at dhat beudy!” Lol 😂 This guy’s passion is contagious.. Now I wanna try making one!

Ok I made this exact stuff yesterday and it was the best I have ever tried! My wife was happy too! Thank you Gennaro!

[@1968harmony]

You and Jamie are not only fabulous cooks, but you both seem like really fun people !! just love watching you both !! can't wait to try your ragu... Thank you.

Oh dear lord that looks so good i was drooling on my keyboard just watching . Gennaro all your food is just so amazing ... and simple too even a dummy like me can make it .

[@pauly7218]

I had the best lasagna ever in Rome, and have been searching so hard for a recipe - This looks like the kind I had! I can't wait to try it! Thanks!

[@RockApe_]

Real story I swear to god I’m not kidding. I used to work in an opticians years ago. Gennaro walked in and took a seat in the waiting area for an eye test. I went up to him and was in in shock I couldn’t believe he’s right in front of me. Had a brief conversation with him and he wasn’t too happy because he had to wait ages for an eye test. I got him seen straight away as I was close to the optometrist at the time. He hands me over a Tupperware and tells me it’s the best chicken you’ll ever have in your life. Devoured that for lunch that day haha. 2017 good times

[@panicpoint__]

He makes cooking so easier. Love this guy!

[@SpookyLuvCookie]

I love the bit where he accepts hesitantly that he loves cheddar cheese... hard for a proud Italian to admit!?

[@dannydevito241]

not for a real italian, maybe for americans who think they are italian but lived in the usa their whole life, they get offended quickly

[@shivavision8223]

Why? He is a real chef. They are usually very open-minded when it comes to foreign influences on local cuisines.

[@desertpair2]

I think maybe he's just being political.

[@teteskone41]

Cheddar is a great cheese, and not just for burgers. By a random Italian commentator.

[@joshfontanella]

My Uncle Franco in calabria loves when we bring him cheddar cheese Frome England 😁

[@CherokeeApacheIrish]

I Love Italian cuisine. All heck I might as well admit it that since I am born and raised dye in the wool south eastern USA we folk eat anything that tastes good and properly seasoned and cooked well. Not matter what culture the cuisine came from. Being that USA Southern cuisine is a mix of several cultural foods and ingredients that says a lot about what we will eat if it tastes good. One last thing as a personal note to Jamie Oliver. I have great respect for people who honor their elders and mentors and it is very honorable that you pushed your mentor Gennaro Contaldo to the forefront like you have. It's a show of respect to who instilled a passion in you for Italian cooking.

[@gutomattos108]

Love you Gennaro!!!! Beautiful Family!!!

[@ardentdfender4116]

Gennaro is single handedly teaching me how to cook and Italian, and doing an damn good job at it.

[@mjg239]

I've made this dish TWICE now and each time it was a HIT at my dinner table. I've made a beschamel before for a French fish dish, but never before in a Lasagne, it was so flavorful, and his technique was so easy to follow. Also added small slices from a Grana Padano rind to the beschamel, and in the Ragu and later infused it in the dish as it baked.

I always add some Colman's English mustard to a cheese sauce - obviously it's not authentic Italian that way, but it really adds to the cheese flavour... I would add nutmeg to a bechamel (white sauce) but not to a cheese sauce, personally.
