I smiled throughout the entire video because he portrayed his passion of cooking so awesomely and, I felt like I was there with him! I was getting excited at all the ingredients he was describing!
This man is the quintessential image of passion in cooking. Food is so much more than nourishment or energy. It is life, it is love, it is... a state of being.
I made this. It was fantastic. I added an entire red onion instead of half, garlic, I also added more butter somewhere in the middle and baby spinach in the middle somewhere.
Geno, tonight I made risotto with mushrooms and spinach. I had grated some romano cheese for the rissoto when I remembered that I had some bleu cheese as well. I added maybe 50 grams and a splash of heavy cream to my risotto. Oh my goodness! It was heavenly! Not over powering with the bleu cheese flavor, just enough to make it yummy.
I have to say, Gennaro makes me feel like he's an awesome uncle visiting and sharing the best recipes with me. He makes every movement feel so personal. I can't imagine the pleasure he is to have in the kitchen.
I made this today ...my first ever self made risotto with my very own brewed chicken stock. I used fennel (finochio) in stead of asparagus, which I sweated along with the onions and cellery. I tell you, it was wonderfull! Such a simple and great dish, but it all comes down to ´caressing´ the rice with a wooden spoon and a good stock! Thank you again, Genarro for a great dish tomorrow we will have lungiune with vongole ....love Italian cuisine! My, my, why am I cooking so good?! Because of Genarro, ofcourse!!
Hi Gennaro! Just made your Risotto.. as I didnt have Mint and Peas I left it out. I'm in heaven!!! Thank you so much for showing us how to cook a nice smooth Risotto! Omg it is soooo delicious! :D
Alexsander Rain Update: It was indeed amazing. Now I didn't have all the ingredients (like asparagus and celery) but it turned out amazing. I can only imagine if I had those too it would have been even better.
This is the first dish of Gennaros's that I actually made because I had all the ingredients at home already (okay except for mint). It was simply amazing. So easy to make, so simple to prepare, and so few ingredients! This will definitely be a staple in my home.
Your cooking and enthusiasm gives me life and your recipes are so easy. I have to admit, I alter a little to suit the taste of the family but your way and energy for food makes cooking so much fun. When I get an alert, everyone shouts “your Dad has posted another cooking video”😂. Thank you for making cooking so enjoyable.
Omg! Thumbs up for the passion in the speaking of this man! I loved it! Please make a risotto with mushrooms, any kind. I love mushrooms and I'll love to taste that risotto made the original Italian way
Anette Bøhler Prydz Yeh me either....i've been to plenty of restaurants that serve it tho...but when ever i see it i just think...thats rice...i didnt come here for that...lol...idk maybe one day!
Anette Bøhler Prydz Great thing about risotto is that you can vary the contents endlessly. I usually make mine with bacon, cheddar cheese and cayenne pepper. Not very healthy, but it tastes nice to be sure :)
my mum's recipe is a delicious beetroot risotto! you made a nice risotto and grate in a good fresh beetroot and its so earthy and sweet. also it goes bright pink!
Yay! Another amazing recipie from this amazing chef!! I made his mint and peas bowtie pasta and that was so delicious! I have to make this now! I love his food!!! Thanks for sharing, ***** !!
I believe everyone's goal in life is to end up as happy, vibrant & carefree as Gennaro when they get to be his age. He's so full of life it's amazing to see !
Gennaro, I can't wait to make this! My favorite risotto recipe is one I came up with for risotto with prawns and porcini mushrooms. This one looks so fresh and lovely for spring.
When I lived in Prague I visited a restaurant regularly that served a risotto with chicken, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. It was divine! I would also love to see a beef risotto though, as I've never tried one.
Have you ever made Farrotto? Farro was a big part of the Roman diet, and I tried it for the first time today. How this wonderfully delicious grain ever fell out of popular use, is beyond me.
Wow.. What a wounderful video.. That was one of the most passionate videos of food loving I have ever seen.. Thank you Gennaro.. If there were more of your kind in the world there would be no more war.. We would all be very fat because of all the delicious food but that doesnt matter.. :)
***** Gennaro Contaldo I've never seen anyone get that excited over celery! Great looking recipe though, love Spring time food! Cornish Asparagus season is brilliant!
RISOTTO! EXCELLENT! I remembered last time Jamie or Gennaro did a risotto with fish soup? Can't recall the details but I 'd love to see that one coming again!
Favourite rissoto? Hmm, probably have to be something like this, I have never made a risotto with GOOD ingredients, so I never got much flavour, just a fantastic texture. With fresh flavours like the sweet fresh peas, this must be to die for!
