This dude just invented the most genius way to dice thick carrots quick. Blew my mind.

He's a master. The only one who can smell carrots and say "Oh my God"! That's one of the reasons i love Gennaro. He lives the food elements to the fullest appreciating even the smell and taste of the simplest ingredients. He's one in the billion. Actuallt he is unique. I love and respect you Gennaro!

"about a glass of wine" pours a third of a bottle into the pot xD genius!

Gennaro: I have some 300 year old equipment with no lids. Gennaro: I have a few average ingredients Gennaro: And here's the best food you've ever tasted or seen in your life.

Alway funny!! i love this guy!!

The guy is a kick. You have to love him. He is happy to b alive and life is good. He spreads happiness and love. A great way to live. I especially enjoy the two greedy italian series. Bless you Genero. See you at mass.

6:47 WHY IM COOKING SO GOOD!

I LOVE Gennaro's showmanship! Plus this one's so easy I can actually do it at home...

i actually teared up a bit when he said its like you never left home.he was so sincere.haha

Lol can’t stop laughing at the end “ why I am so good at cooking” lol

why he cookin so good

"WHY I'M COOKING SO GOOD?!?" I love this guy

This is true pornography!

The best lamb stew..now is my family signature stew. Any big festival family and friends will request for this dish. Thank you Genero 😘

I just made this dish. It is the best thing I've ever made! If you take a taste in every part of the cooking just as he does, you might feel the flavor he talks about. I fall in love with every part of the cooking. Quick tip : never cook while ure hungry, this way you lack focus and you're not gonna give the elements enough time to cook. Take it easy, maybe start cooking right away after the breakfast.

Looks like Gennaro's had a good tanning session before this vid! Love the idea of this, find lamb tricky to keep exciting, good times

You always make me smile, Genaro. Your cooking is wonderful.

If my Nonno did a cooking show, this is how it would go down. "Ma, ok. Ello, we gonna make a the spagett, MA CLEMENTINA, (my Nonna), WERE IS A THE TOMATO SAUCE!?!!? MA NEVER MIND I FOUND IT. Oi, ok, ok."

We love all your recipes, especially all cooking in our country Malta!! you are the KING of King's Gennaro!!! This is the best stew I've ever cooked!!! A huge well done and keep it up :)

Could someone answer please, what could I use instead of celery leaves? I've never seen them in supermarkets before

I love gennero!!!!❤

Gennaro reminds me of my grandfather. Even kinda looks the same. What passion!

This guy is awesome! Love his sprit when he's cooking. Now I know what to do with lamb I just got LOL

This lamb stew looks so good, my mouth is watering for some. Am going to try this recipe tomorrow for dinner. Thanks a lot! Gennaro you made my day. hope you live long, Cause there isn't much like you, may God bless you!

Gennaro you are the man!!! a friend from Greece!

I just love how simple his recipes are! He makes the recipes come alive! 😁

Gennaro.... Made this tonight. And after I finished I had to shout out "why do I cook so good!!" Hahaha great recipe. Lovely rich dish, the vinegar cuts through the fatty lamb, beautifully seasoned with the anchovy. Can't recommend enough. Great cooking. Thank you!!

What a fantastic view, and the stew looks great too.

"I'm not mad!" lol, no you're not mad, just passionate about food - wonderful!

Anyone else thinking of the joke "the Italian man who went to Malta"?- "One day imma gona to Malta to bigga hotell In the morning i go down to eat a breakfast I tell the waitress i wanna 2 pisses of toast She brings me only one piss I tell her i wanna to piss She says go to the toilet I say you dont understand I want to piss on my plate She say you better no piss on the plate You son of a bitch! I dont even know the lady And she calls me a son of a bitch Later I go to eat at a bigga resturant The waitress bring me a spoon and a knife, but no fork! I tell her i wanna the fuck She tellin me everyone wanna fuck I tell her you dont understand I wanna fucka on the table She say you better not fuck on the table You son of a bitch! So i go back to my room in a hotel And there is no sheeats on the bed Call the manager and im tellin him i wanna shit! He tellin me go to the toilet I say you dont understand I wanna shit on my bed! He say you better not shit on my bed You son of you bitch! I go to the check out and the man in the desk says Peace on you, i said piss on you too you son of a bitch!

I love Italians, they are so passionate

You can tell this is an authentic Italian dish by the way he moves his hands

Genarro - we love you ❤️🇩🇰

OMG, he killed me, that food looks amazing!

Please show us how to make this Malta bread :D

I love you, Gennaro! You are wonderful at what you do and bring so much joy into my kitchen. Thank you for sharing your recipes and your unmatched passion for food, and zest for LIFE!

Followed the recipe exactly and it tasted so good! I've learned so much from Genaro's cooking - using fresh herbs and spices - amazing

i cannot stop loving this guy...... i somehow get attracted to watch the full video whenever youtube shows it on the screen..........he is an incredible chef..........one of a kind, endearing personality

So much passion in his cooking, it’s like a drama show

WHY AM COOKING SO GOOD?!

The best lamb stew...Any occasion my relative will ask for this

I love this guy. He's fun. :-D

That looks amazing!

Love watching him, makes me laugh and am about to cook the lamb

he talks like christopher walken , lmao the italian CW

why is he wearing an arabs hat as a shirt ??

He's batshit crazy and I love that guy.

This man reminds me of my dad.

Ciao Gennaro next time u come to Malta sei invitato a casa mia per fare una ricetta insieme,io sono Marco dalla Sicilia e vivo qui da UN bel po,do po essere stato altri 5 anni in UK!we wait for u,why do u cook sooo good!! :)

"And a bit of pepper in, because pepper is a spice!" WHAT A CUTIE PATOOTIEEE

You just HAVE to love this guy :D

Fantastic, lovely guy! His accent shames Chico Marx! Great cooking, this is a real enthusiastic approach.

I'm not particularly crazy about lamb, but I come here just to see Gennaro cooking. Such an amazing person, the passion and enthusiasm he has for food is incredibly inspiring. A rare human being. Made my day.

When I saw this guy I thought "Damn, Jamie got old"

Lovely Gennaro. Thanks. Thisone i gonna make.

love him. "a glass of wine" keep on pouring lol i think it was an irish glass lololololol

Only Gennaro can make raw carrots sound appetizing😂 You are such a great cook Señor. You'll always be my favourite italian chef

damn, i need that in my life.

I just made this for supper and i am amazed how simple ingredients brought together could create such an amazing flavor, thank you so much for sharing this Chef!!!

Really feeling hungry now, you sold every ingredient with so much passion that went into that pan. Think I've worked it out now, that's the camera crews lunch, they must be queuing up to go on a trip with you.

Please live forever and keep sharing these Italian recipes with that same passion. You’re the man. You taught me so much about how to marry simple ingredients and turn them into something extraordinary. Thank you!

It's pretty cool that almost all stews have onions, carrots, and celery as the base ingredients.

Theres nobody like Gennaro. What a legend. Boy do I miss him!

"It's like you fall in love. You want to caress your love." Great description of cooking stew.

Gennaro is such an amazing guy

Made this at home today, such a wonderful thing! Or in Gennaro words: Fantastico!

Something wrong with the website. Tried to go there for the recipe but it wouldn't load. Anyone has the same problem?

Gennaro sei un Dio!

Gennaro, don't EVER be sorry for shouting that, your cooking is SO GOOD and everyone should know that.

Wow, i made this tonight exactly as he said, absolute knockout! Love this guy.

The celery looks delish!

When I made this on the first day it was great but the next day it was the most incredible stew I ever had!! I suggest to always cook this the night before you serve it.

Made this one today. Absolutely out of this world. Many thanks Genaro !

Hahahaha i love this guy

Did Gennaro teach Oliver how to cook? they seem to have the same "olive oil over any meat, bread etc" fetish

The thyme looks really young and tender. Nice, but the older it gets, the more flavorful it becomes. I go to Italy regularly, we have a nice summer house there with a garden, in the middle of Emilia Romagna, with wild lavender, thyme and rosemary. The flavor and taste of those grown out, weathered herbs put you in a trance, the young store-bought stuff is nothing in comparison.

Just love... Gennaro you are the best person in the world!

Great guy very entertaining!

Whine can just be replaced with water and vinegar (or no vinegar)

OH MY GOODNESS, this was so amazing I almost started screaming like a madman out the window. My sins and I cooked this for home school, belissimo 😊 yes it reminded me of my mum ❤❤❤

he's the best.

"I'm not mad!" :D Gennaro, you're the best man! :) You're always so funny and your recipes soo tasty and videos soo cool! :)

Jamie and Gennaro make me laugh ! Highly skilled cooks with the acquired know-how no doubt, and great personalities too BUT the ingredients ? From down the road at your local Tesco or Sainsbury's ? Not, no way, I think. Every ingredient, every cut of meat and fish, every cooking utensil down to the pans and even the brand of cooker ... BEYOND THE MEANS OF ANYBODY ON LESS THAN £60 grand a year. My farmed grilled seabass bought at Waitrose for £10/kilo will never taste as good as Jamie and Gennaro's sourced from the same suppliers who cater to Her Maj Liz or Richard Branson and friends.

Add a glass of wine actually means add half a bottle of wine 😂😂😂😂

This is one of the best recipes of all time we have done it over and over again it’s so good

Love u more than Jamie oliver

Who's this joker lol quite entertaining, " let them dance in the pot" i love it haha

LOOK AT THAT ! xD

my mom and dad cant cook for shit.

COOKIN SO GOOD

Amazing stew Gennaro! All the ingredients bring something - the heat from the chili, the salt from the anchovies - love it!

Im a simple person. If my mouth waters, you get a like.
