Italian Chef Reacts to Pro Chef Perfect Lasagna

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Hey Vincenzo! Great review! haha I'm glad to see that you enjoyed the video! Ricotta is pretty common in the US, but next time I will use fresh pasta as that was not good and I would like to make a ragu version as well! Can't wait to do videos together! :)

[@petrayonathan1550]

It's okay, James. Vincenzo was excited to your lasagna. Italians really like it 😊

[@raybusiness1008]

Well this is quite suprising😅

[@Lucifer__Morningstar_]

Congratulations, my friend🎉 They finally noticed you. I love to see, when hard work pays off. All the best wishes from Germany❤

[@krissv3ctor512]

My understanding is, in the north of italy, fresh pasta is used for lasagna, but in the south, they use dried pasta.

[@mistertnoname1653]

Great cooking James, really like your relaxing stile of explaining recipes❤️

One of the most polite Chefs critiquing another one of the most polite Chefs is absolutely awesome! I’ve learned so much from this video. Thank you both!

[@GoodForYou4504]

What is great about this channel and Chef James is that you both don't just tell what to do, but also why. Pay attention and you become a better cook in general not just learn one recipe. Bravo chefs! 👏

It makes me very happy to hear that you enjoy our video styles! Which recipe would you like to see us cook? 😊

@@vincenzosplate I would love to see a video with your favourite Risoni recipe. It's such a delicious type of pasta but hardly ever gets mentioned on its own and is almost never served in restaurants. It's sad that people don't even know what it is...

@vincenzosplate Of course, what comes to mind is Carbonara or Paella. I'm thinking that doing something outside both of your comfort zones would be very entertaining. Texas style BBQ brisket with some side dishes? Maybe not, but it would be fun to watch! 😉

Glad to hear that we both give pozitive vibes to you ❤ Would you like to see a collab between me and the chef?

[@darrencarter9812]

@@vincenzosplate absolutely. An idea I had was 2 videos where you do 3 dishes for each of your cuisines. One dish is easy, another that is more complicated, and a third that is difficult to execute. That gives each of you content, and you could each do a 3rd video comparing the dishes.

[@jacoWhoCares]

If the basics of mediterranean cuisine are respected, like sofrito, there is no harm in introducing variations. Unfortunately the basics are never mastered by many celebrity chefs out there.

[@duckpwnd]

I love Chef James' channel. Not only have I learned a lot about cooking from him, but he also saved my life once. I was in a submarine that took a direct hit from a torpedo. It was quickly filling up with water and Chef James swam down to the sub without any diving gear and pulled all of us out of the sub and to the surface.

[@tasorodri]

He also saved mine, I fell from a plane and James was randomly skydiving close by, when he saw me he went to me and grabbed me to save me with his parachute, truly a hero

[@MarcIverson]

He single-handedly reconstructed my homework from my dog's poop.

[@KungKokkos]

Wow thats amazing, he saved mine once too. I ordered a pizza that I was gonna choke on and James ran up, took the pizza from me, and ran off towards the woods with it, leaving only a tiny bay leaf behind. Amazing!

[@vincenzosplate]

That's such an interesting story!

[@Revelwoodie]

One time, I was reading a KZbin comment thread that I didn't understand, and James bust my door down, rushed into the room, and explained the whole thing to me before it was too late. I almost died.

i would deff suggest looking for more only because chef james and chef vincenzo tend to stay close to their specialties and regional dishes which is amazing but you should totally branch out and find some others from other regions and cultures. one such channel is chowhound with Aaron Sanchez. and of course there are many others who arent famous but still amazing.

[@Mycroft2311]

@@moodchanger3470 Thanks for Your hint. I think You are absolutely right! I am 50+ now and have never really cooked, mostly most simple student dishes at first followed by some frozen ready dishes or visits in hospital kitchens later. When I by chance found Vincenzo's channel, I was fed up with the ready stuff und I tried to get authentic ingredients first and was surprised by the results trying some of his easier recipes. As a medic I knew about the healthy aspects of mediterran cuisine with "EVO" etc. Then I discovered James's channel as well. I learnt much about basic techniques from him. Now I have cooked most of Vincenzo's recipes regarding pasta and risottos enjoying the gorgeous tastes. I like paella as well very much but haven't dared to try to cook one so far. I will take a recipe from James's channel for that. I have learnt some "feeling" for the ingredients, seasoning, temperatures etc. in the past year and now need not be fixed on each letter of a recipe any more. Slowly but steadily I' am also beginning to try cakes/sweets and other dishes from Austria/Bohemia...

I do still keep the dry pasta and use it at times as it is cheaper and easier to keep, but regularly buy the fresh pasta as well!!! Although it's more expensive than the dry it isn't a huge difference with a small family (would be different if I had a large family to feed) so it's one thing I splurge on regularly.

Vincenzo, alcohol actually doesn't evaporate with heat when it is mixed with water and other things. Since food has water, the alcohol evaporation will occurs in the same proportion of the water evaporation due its covalent bound that shifts the alcohol boiling point to a little high temperature. It will be safe to children eat because the alcohol will be way too diluted.

Love making lasagna from as scratch as possible. Usually do 'one' a year this way. Homegrown tomatoes/peppers for sauce (about 1/2 pepper for 4 lbs tomatoes), fresh pasta dough, fresh soffrito (celery usually bought), AND homemade mozz. I do it as a batch - so one meal and usually 2 - 4 smaller portions to freeze. Nothing beats a good 'homegrown/made' meal from your own garden on a dreary winter's night...

I was surprised to hear that the lasagna recipe my mom taught me growing up in Germany was not actually too far away from an "authentic" Italian lasagna, based on your commentary. It was the first "real" cooking recipe I learned as a teenager despite it being a time intensive and more difficult dish for a beginner (eg making a roux for the bechamel) because lasagna was my absolute favorite meal. Her recipe is a bechamel sauce with nutmeg, a bolognese sauce similar to what James made, cheese and dry pasta, layered together, the pasta cooking in the sauce while it's in the oven. There are parts that she deviated from such as leaving out celery or using gouda instead of mozzarella, but it sounds like those are comparatively minor and I would be able to serve the result to an Italian without getting cussed out. :)

A really a great lasagna recipe by James! Love the way he sautees the meat, then deglazes the pan with the soffrito for maximum flavor. Looking forward to see Vincenzo react to James' Carbonara :P

To me when two off my favorite chefs agree and like each others technique makes me think I might be following the right experts. Thank you, Chefs,. You did make my day :).

I like James a lot. Seems like a nice guy. I like his reactions and he has a good sense of humor. James isn't really a celebrity chef but he definitely could be. If you get together make sure to bring a camera. Maybe have dinner and try each other's recipes. That would be fun.

That looked like an awesome lasagna! My two favorite Chefs! Great job.
