Carluccio was a humble cook. I love how he tells off Contaldo for trying to show off with his knife skills. Simple and yet great man. Also. As an Italian Londoner, I'm proud of the fact that he learned English properly. I moved to the UK at 13. Too many of my Italian friends who've come here speak terrible English. Carluccio's grammar is perfect.
But Gennaro is a bit more careful to explain the details of the steps. In some cases Antonio forgets to mention how much of an ingredient he is using, for Gennaro to politely remind him to mention it. I think these two guys were complementing each other like basil and tomato.
I kept seeing "Two Greedy Italians" coming up as a suggestion .... I ignored it until I watched once ... and was hooked! LOVE these two. RIP Antonia. Gennaro hope to see more of you.
Two wonderful men with great humour and passion in their food delight. When I hear them speak its so poetic and with love. Thank you for these uploads.
Makes me sad, makes me want to call up friends I've fallen out with, friends I've had stupid arguments, mostly because of their wife. Family and friends are the most important thing in life.
I love their playfulness and amazing friendship. Two of the greatest and I see why. Nothing more passionate and fun than us Italians. My father looked like Gennaro’s brother; even his actions. So every time I watch him, I see my dad❤️
Antonio reminds me of my father a wonderful kind gentleman. He conforts me to watch him cook. I adore how he picks on Gennaro n they make my heart happy to see such a beautiful loving friendship. Gennaro, i love you but stop showing off ♥️♥️♥️
The SapphireDragon1 My grandma was lime that and an incredible cook. Grndma Maria, a greek lady had a woodoven .She would light the fire herself and bake peas and meat and pies in the stone oven. The 70s were unforgettable times.
Amazing! So much love from Greece that you can't imagine. I also have le creuset saucepan and collect wild herbs from the beautiful hills of Corfu which make a difference when you cook. Thyme, oregano and sage all free from Tebloni hills. I miss Antonio tremendously.
"During the production of Antonio's Polenta we would like to ensure all viewers that no calories were spared".... And just how it should be, never looked so good!
Embrace your own ethnicity and culture. You can cook Italian meals and not be Italian. We all learn from each other, all Europeans have something unique to bring to the table. Peace and love
@@moin6077 As a true blue Italian, I can tell you that some people are more Italian than me through their personality being sunny and easy-going. I am probably more British than Antonio in my demeanor! Non bisticciate!
We Dutch have a 'tradition' of mashing the potatoes on our plate, then create a hole in the middle and then put a nice big spoon of gravy (and/or stew) in the middle, just like 4:45 with the polenta. Now there's some Dutch influence on international cooking!
