An underrated chef in my opinion, I love his enthusiasm, I watch him every Saturday morning, a class act and a passionate chef!

1. You should be using guanciale. You’re in Italy; it’s very easy to get it there. If you’re anywhere outside the Italy, fine, but that isn’t the case here. 2. No cream allowed in carbonara! 3. Pecorino is the only acceptable cheese to use (unless you can’t get hold of it, but surely you can get it anywhere, even outside of Italy). 4. You don’t use parsley in carbonara.

He could call a real italian to cook!

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

@@djgoonie2592 That would be a good idea.

[@colinhathaway9493]

He said not traditional by any means

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Lovely 👌🏻

[@StrataG93]

Carbonara is made with pecorino not parmesan and guanciale not pancetta

[@jjboybeamer]

Rawww

[@fglend73]

You read this right Italians??? It’s his “take!!” So get a grip. 😂😂

[@clutcher96]

You don't need cream

[@redflamelcd]

I'm not even close to Italian but that addition of cream even offends me.

more confusion by adding cream

[@v0027ajt]

the only think it has of Carbonara is him saying that is Carbonara.... Bellow are many people saying why isn't Carbonara....

[@cheftje3339]

indeed carbonara no cream, but it does look delicious, why do we always need to use the classic names and then make something else? make the recipe you want and give it a name, how do you think the 'carbonara dish ' got it's name....

[@PeterWoodstorrechianca]

If originates from world war 2 it is not really traditional , not so long ago

[@sionnach1311]

Cream makes it better.....sorry Italians but it's true

James is my favourite chef, but dear god 🙈The key ingredients are pancetta and Parmesan??? No they’re not. Not at all. CREAM?!?!? Try Guanciale and Pecorino James. Italians all over the world will be screaming at this mess. One of the worst carbonara videos I think I’ve ever seen, and it pains me to say it as I really like James. I know it’s supposed to be ‘his take’ on a carbonara but it’s not like he’s just substituted one ingredient for another - the whole recipe has been changed. It’s the wrong meat, wrong cheese, wrong type of pasta and he’s added cream!

[@redpriest9160]

That’s not a destroyer either... smdh.

[@massimolamagna719]

If is your take call it something else, this has nothing to do with carbonara Italian housewives or Italian chefs cook, 😢

[@bikelawman]

Exactly!
