I wish I could meet Gennaro, shake his hand. He INSPIRES you to cook, he makes you WANT to cook these amazing foods, enjoy this amazing culture, and live a life worth living.
I need to live in this mans world. Where I do not dread waking up every morning, working for a meaningless job, that only contributes to the demise of mankind. I need to live a life where I can smile and enjoy life like this man.
This man is enjoying his life because he's spend an entire lifetime working his ass off. You gotta work on something you love and you're passionate about and give your very best to be what this humble man id today.
BullRed07 Indeed. Unless you want to live under the bridge, you better work in Italy and Greece, too, lol. The trick is to TAKE CHARGE of your own destiny instead of being passive-aggressive like the guy above.
You can do it, but you must find what you love, be willing to take risks and work without waiting for a slap on the back, and don't listen to negative people. It's up to you to make the decision.
One of my favorite things is the way he always smells his ingredients for his own pleasure. Cooking truly makes him happy and he appreciates every bit of it!
He makes you feel as if he's your crazy Italian grandfather that has an inspiring passion for good food and sharing that food with his family. All of his videos make you feel like your family and I love that.

I mean you inspire me a lot. Thank you for your time Wish you all the best !!!
What a fabulous kitchen!!! No immaculate surfaces and top of the range units, and no fuss about hygiene. Just all the ingredients and utensils bunged down where there's a ledge. Wonderful.
Sir, my dad taught me how to cook because he loves food, and yet, I never met Someone that could touch my heart this deep while watching them cook, that was awesome!!! I'm about to make the first gnocchi of my life and I'm so excited x) Thanks for this wonderful video!
Gennaro!!! Fantastico!!! So charismatic and wonderful to watch, so passionate about his food and so entertaining to watch that you almost forget the delicious and easy to make dishes he has up his sleeve in that gorgeously rustic woodfire oven. Love the energy and the way he speaks and emphasizes his words.Grazie mille per il piacere!
i just made this dish. It is fantastic! made it for my mother and father, they loved it!. Tahnk you to Gennaro for his videos and for getting me to see how much cooking is to be enjoyed.
He is so adorable! He get's all passionate about food and the way he directs his attention to the camera as if you're in his kitchen. So funny, thanks for sharing, Gnocchi is defiantly worth to try to make, always was told it takes a whole morning to make for 10mins of fun.
Love this guy! So, so passionate about his food. As a gnocchi and serial cheese lover, I can't wait to give this recipe a try. Thanks Jamie, for creating foodtube and making your recipes so accessible for an Aussie girl like me! Love from a long time fan x
Thank you very much... I have taste them... I live in México, and the ones that I've tried were very good (I supposed nothing compare with the Italian ones) but I always wanted to make them myself... I'm IN LOVE of Italy, I've been there a couple of months ago and I'm more fascinated; and now with this recipes... jajajajaja I just wish I could live there... :D
I love Fontina cheese. also I love Gnocchi, sage and butter. I love stuff that gets baked inside a woodfired oven. I do love everything about this dish.
I watched the same recipe over and over again...it's not just about the recipe, it's about Gennaro's passion to cooking... his words when admiring the ffffresh ingredient.. his hands and the way he uses them when cooking.. just a little question: can I use dries sage instead of fresh?
Hi guys, really pleased you're all loving Gennaro and his delicious Gnocchi al Forno. Thanks for all the comments and likes. We're working hard to get the Gnocchi recipe up for next week. In the meantime please continue to pass onto all your friends. It's such a simple dish and really does taste as good as it looks. X
I just made gnocchi for the first time but before seeing Gennaro's video ...they were O.K. ...next time I plan to use his recipe. Really liked his accent and lovely manner of presentation
These videos always make me hungry. I think it's because Genaro is cooking in his home town and that sort of adds to the feel. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! PS: can you use any other herb other than Sage, coriander maybe.
I wish I could meet Gennaro, shake his hand. He INSPIRES you to cook, he makes you WANT to cook these amazing foods, enjoy this amazing culture, and live a life worth living.
solouroboros amen to that.
+Bonnie Pierce Amen!
solouroboros I look at his vowing skin and gleaming eyes clearly he’s loving his life
Indeed
I need to live in this mans world. Where I do not dread waking up every morning, working for a meaningless job, that only contributes to the demise of mankind. I need to live a life where I can smile and enjoy life like this man.
that would be in greece or italy. But the BCE and IMF think better everybody should work their arse off for some banks trading weapons and drugs.
This man is enjoying his life because he's spend an entire lifetime working his ass off. You gotta work on something you love and you're passionate about and give your very best to be what this humble man id today.
BullRed07 Indeed. Unless you want to live under the bridge, you better work in Italy and Greece, too, lol. The trick is to TAKE CHARGE of your own destiny instead of being passive-aggressive like the guy above.
Coco Cabana he had to ask the director if he could eat his own food in another video, hes another cog in the machine.
You can do it, but you must find what you love, be willing to take risks and work without waiting for a slap on the back, and don't listen to negative people. It's up to you to make the decision.
"Why I'm cooking so good!!!" Gennaro's best line ever
Because there is love. And passion. And cocaine.
Just fall in love with the food you are cooking,otherwise it will come out watery. That's what he means.
His happiness makes me happy, he's got great passion!
You can literally feel his passion. It's beautiful.
You need more novadin...
One of my favorite things is the way he always smells his ingredients for his own pleasure. Cooking truly makes him happy and he appreciates every bit of it!
*every bite of it!
krookediIe bit*
You dont need a fancy kitchen with expensive equipment to make a fantastic dish . .two thumbs up to chef gennaro. .
A woodfired oven (for me) is a pretty fancy equipment. I get what you're saying, that's what Italian cuisine is all about :D
He makes you feel as if he's your crazy Italian grandfather that has an inspiring passion for good food and sharing that food with his family. All of his videos make you feel like your family and I love that.
