It was sad and fun (at the same time) reading all these mean comments about me. I am happy because I know that most of you are on my side and motivate me every single day to share more recipes and videos with you. Love you everyone
I think your channel is great. There are a lot of idiots on social media. I enjoy your channel because you're knowledgeable and enthusiastic about food. Tbh , I enjoy more videos about making food rather than reaction videos but I understand that reaction videos are more popular! Keep up the great work in encouraging people to eat nice Italian food ! 😂😊
Never read the comments on Reddit Vincenzo. Your passion for cooking is inspirational and we don’t want you to lose it over some silly comments. You’ve taught all of us how to cook and built a loyal audience. You’re doing just fine 👍🙂
Vinny, my man, never get dragged into a reddit thread. You make delicious simple food, and when I was in Italy that's what the food was. Learning about real Italian food has been a great joy and you've changed my cooking for the better. Keeping making real Italian food and teaching people that the American version of Italian food is not authentic Italian food. You saved this American.
@@vincenzosplate I'm not even going to write my own thing here............................ because this guy just said exactly what I would have. So, I'll just say and ask you to maintain the standards. IF people sook, then they're not worthy of what the standard should be, for the food descriptions and expectations for what comprises the ingredients, the cooking the techniques et all..... This is all critical for the definition of the dish you are presenting to us. Is this a problem??? Well, its a them problem..............it NOT a you problem!
I literally don't understand how anyone could hate or be rude to Vincenzo. Even if you disagree with his style, recipes, or opinion, he is seriously one of the most loving, genuine, understanding, polite, interactive, positive and encouraging chefs and social media giants I have ever come across. I feel like he is my big brother, and in my heart, he is.
He's humble, that's what I noticed the most about him. He doesn't pretend to be the world's best chef, he shows where he learns from others himself... how many chefs do you know that are like that? They are stereotypically pretentious, but Vincenzo isn't. For example the videos he did with a far younger dude from Italy that, because he was explaining his Nonna's recipe, Vincenzo just went along with everything the guy said... why? Because the recipe came from a legitimate Nonna from Italy and Vincenzo knows not to argue with that level of expertise (generations of cooking).
ignore the hate man Vincenzo, i followed you recipe for a job interview at Scala in Cape Town and made your recipe in my head for your cacio e pepe and i got the job! i will always and forever love and appreciate your content!
Yay on the Cacio e Pepe, my most favorite dish! If there was ever a reason to buy the best quality black pepper this is it! I often find it on my meatless Monday menu
Vincenzo, we love you! Keep up your AMAZING work ❤ As Dante Alighieri said “Non ti curar di loro”, people like those hasn’t nothing better to do with their time 😂
I work at an Italian resto in Buenos Aires, the owner Is from the North of Italy and he is just like you, he defends the real Italian food, he has so much respect for the recipes, the ingredients and the way to make them, that remind me of you. Keep doing your thing you are great!!! Kisses from Argentina 🇦🇷
The haters can continue to write negative comments as much as they want: in the meantime, we continue to enjoy excellent Italian cuisine with you Vincenzo. Un saluto dalle Marche, continua così!
@@530skeptic I agree. The vast majority of criticisms are written by people who not only are not Italian and have never been to Italy, but most likely do not have the slightest idea of what cooking (for real) means in general... and in my opinion, the Italian cuisine is particularly difficult to master: you need to know how to work a few high quality ingredients in the best possible way, with very precise steps that leave no room for "interpretation". A small mistake can ruin the whole dish. Vincenzo is an exceptional chef, and knows how to best present traditional Italian recipes (especially from central Italy, Abruzzo, Marche, Umbria, Lazio, Tuscany, Romagna)
If you want clearly explained, authentic, and proud Italian regional dishes Vincenzo's Plate, Pasta Grammar, and Pasta Grannies are 3 of the very best. You're doing a service for the world!
Reddit sucks Vincenzo, I would suggest staying away from the platform altogether! I don’t need a chef to teach me how to cook beautiful Italian food. I need an Italian home cook. That, you are. And you spread the love of the food. Thank you! ❤ Edit: I am a single parent! Why would I bother? Ha! Because my son and I are eating a much better meal than Kraft Mac and Cheese! And it’s cheap and delicious, even though I’m buying more expensive pasta (La Molisana 😋). 🇮🇹
Vincenzo, i recently found your channel while searching information on real Olive Oil and appreciated how you tasted and commented on the them. I find your channel refreshing and very funny, my grandkids just loved the "How to make MARINARA SAUCE" when you say "The smell of garlic comes into my nostrils ..ah.." hilarious! We laughed and became fans. By the way, I love the memes, many youngsters around here are entertained by them. Keep on going!
I can’t stand it when people say “this person doesn’t have any kind of professional culinary background education”. Go try telling that to all the Nonnas. Plenty of people know how to cook amazing food just because they love to cook and love to learn how to make delicious food and have plenty of experience under their belt. They are probably the same kind of people that think Giada‘s boobs have a culinary degree.
The nonnas have their professional culinary background from school of life and university of hardships. Beats any fancy schmancy drown in debt piece of degree paper.
One of my favorite things when I lived in a huge city was to treat myself every Sunday to a meal out at a random hole-in-the-wall restaurant, usually run by some auntie or uncle probably without a lick of formal training in his/her life. The food was usually good! Making good food for family, neighbors, and friends following grandma's recipes, tested and tweaked for possibly dozens to hundreds of years with thousands of days of feedback, is going to produce more good cooks than the average cooking school diploma.
The top chef's making Italian food *got it all from* the Nonna's. Decades of trial and error. I'm so passionate about it because my own father used to cook bolognese sauce and make curry for 25 years, as his child I ate it every time he made it and I noticed it only ever got better and better every time. That's not something anyone can teach, it takes years and years of cooking yourself to realize how to cook. The Italian Nonna's rule over all of cuisine worldwide. Maybe they don't realize it but that only cements their position as the world's best chefs.
Yes, growing up as an Italian female, we are taught by nonna and mamma to make pasta before the age of 10. I use to make carbonara with scrambled eggs from a young age. It was too expensive for peasants. Eggs were sold to buy other staples which could not be grown. In the wealthier cities such as Rome it is logical they would be more inclined to add the scrambled eggs to the carbonara. My mother being dirt poor for generations would skimp on eggs to this day when making pasta. We still fight to this day about how much eggs to use when making homemade pasta. If she had it her way it would be just flour and water. 😮 From a young age I rebelled against the peasant mentally and included scrambled eggs in my carbonara. If I can't add them into the carbonara then for what reason do I need to reserve them? Eggs are no longer a luxury for the majority of the population. I no longer need to sell my eggs to buy some olive oil to drizzle on my veggies.😊
You enhanced my cooking experience and now your recipes are a main stay of our household! Thank you for being you and having the bravery to put yourself out there!
I still do finely chopped and saute my sofrito but now add Passata to my slow cooker instead of a pot for my Bolognese once everything is prepared traditionally. I always sear my meat before putting it in a slow cooker.
Vincenzo! Don't ever change, you are always fair and kind and wanting to put a smile on people faces with your cooking and videos. Your videos are easy and fun to follow. I may not be an expert on Italian food to criticize but my Italian girlfriend is a true culinary maestro and she put me onto your channel and through both of your teachings I've been able to make dishes which is a real blessing! I just ask for one thing... how do they put the coffee in the pocket???
A chef is not someone that has fancy paperwork it is someone that knows how to cook food the right way and Ever since I found this channel I've been lerning more and more about Italian cuisine correctly vincenzo is a great cook no matter what people think of him
A chef is the one who is in charge of the restaurant kitchen. A line cook isn't a chef. That's just what the word means and why people are so sensitive about it. Because it's a title that's hard to earn. It's also a completely unnecessary to teach home cooking so yeah...
@@NULTAMBOR807 yeah I wasn't disagreeing with you for the most part. This channel is my favorite resource for italian recipes and the stuff I made following the recipes got really close to the food I had in Rome last week. Just to add something about the technicalities of the Chef title.
i love your traditional italian recipes for carbonara and marinara sauce - its like im eating a very nice dish at an old fancy italian restaurant with prices for the upper class Thank you so much, mille, mille grazie ♥
Vincenzo, you are doing a good job. I find you humorous. Some people just like to troll others. Most complaining about you never even gave examples, they just call you names. Keep up the good work. Would love to see more Italian foods without pasta or pizza. But over all great job.
I never cooked a recipe of yours that didn’t improve my Italian cooking. You’ve taught me a lot. What keeps me coming back to your content is that you have an amazing personality. Don’t change a thing!
@@vincenzosplate I’d love for that cookbook of yours to get released :) keep up the great recipes Vincenzo. I also entirely changed my cooking Italian dishes thanks to your RUclips channel. Bravo! “That’s the perfect amount of pepper!” Definitely not too boring. Most importantly you’re a great cook Vincenzo!! You’re most underrated pasta that deserves praise is the pistachio pesto and shrimp with fennel sprinkled in n top!! Amazing recipe Vincenzo 👍
Some of the best chefs in the world weren’t trained in a school. And many famous, award winning chefs say it isn’t needed for every chef. It’s about experience and technique and passion! You keep doing what you love! We love your talent and you sharing your recipes, opinions and humor!!!
Not all award winning, highly skilled, professional actors attended performance schools. Not all amazing singers had voice lessons. Many grew up singing in the church choir and the shower.
The ‘you don’t need to be a chef in order to cook good food’ is absolutely true. I’ve been lucky enough to have many amazing Italian meals in Rome, Florence, Venice and Cinque Terre, mainly in local Trattoria type places. But the best meal I have had in my life was Chicken Cacciatore cooked by an Italian friend in the U.K. They are a Personal Assistant in a Hospital never professionally worked as a chef or cook ever. Chicken totally melted in the mouth and was the best chicken I ever had. Found this channel afterwards as wanted to level up my cooking skills and product knowledge also bought an Italian cookbook. My skills and competence has certainly improved. Thanks Vincenzo 😎
Neither did I. It would be a turn off to me. I think he’s quite charming in his reaction videos. I learned a lot from his videos and am happy I found this channel. In fact I have a Bolognese sauce in the planning for tomorrow, which improved for the better thanks to Vincenzo.😋
I wouldn't say rude, but I feel that in some of his reaction videos, his comments can border on mean-sprited/condescending, despite the somewhat light demeanor he portrays. I stopped watching those videos but enjoy his other ones. In the eye of the beholder I suppose, from here it seems clear that most fans disagree.
Ignore the haters, you can’t please everyone but obviously you are doing something right given your number of subscribers. I am a half Abruzzese/ American and I watch your channel to help me cook some of the dishes I miss that my Nonna made and have learned a lot! Grazie Mille Vincenzo 🇮🇹♥️
Vincenzo, I think you’re fantastic. You bring other chefs on as well and your enthusiasm is contagious. I learned how to make a great Neapolitan pizza on your channel and bolognese as well. I enjoy just watching you teach…always with the secret ingredient…love! Don’t change being you…it’s a winning recipe.
It's not good to be isolated in an echo chamber. Very humbling to hear it from people who don't like you and its great moment for self reflection. Can't please everybody, but its also silly to ignore all negativity like they don't exist.
Vincenzo don't worry about mean and rude comments. I think your recipes are very good. If someone leaves comments like that they are jerks and just enjoy stirring up negative feelings. Let them go somewhere else.
Reddit was made for a good porpoise. To allow people freedom of speech. The sad downside of this though is that haters will use it as a safe space, a guard to be able to slander your name without getting blocked. They rather do a hate speech than criticize you with facts and reasons. Well done Vinzenzo for standing your ground and calling these people out to expose them from their guard. It takes a lot of confidence and courage to do so. And your recipes are the sole reason I could finally recognize all the mistakes I've made cooking pasta dishes before I got to know you.
Thank you so much for your comment, I know there are a lot of haters out there, but I’m happy with my community and love every single person who spend times watching and appreciating my content! So thank you 🙏🏻❤️
An Italian here. You are a GREAT cook, educational, & like my uncles, from Italy - EXTREMELY FUNNY! I understand Italian humor, and also understand that ppl can take the Italian attitude towards Italian food (The BEST that God ever created) as arrogant, among other things. Non-Italians do not understand. You must get inside the thought process of Italiana. If you don't, you have lost a very special gift. This "gift" stays inside your head, popping out unexpectedly - when you need a good laugh! Listen up! Vincenzo & good, Italian food cooked under ITALIAN LAW, that every Italian has learned by family before them, will be the healing medicine that will save your life! So, NONGE YOU make Vincenzo suffer like this no more!!! P.S. I LOVE that you are wearing a "Godfather" tee-shirt while responding to critical comments. That was NOT lost on me! Ciao!
I myself definitely learnt a lot from you and I’m Black. There’s a couple of recipes you did that I still cook and my family think is fire. So I appreciate you. God bless and I hope you stay on RUclips.
@@xamineseethru9913 You could’ve done a way better job describing yourself than just saying what color you are. 😆 Like ur country / nationality / profession?
Never mind the toxic people Vincenzo, i went to culinary school and worked in the industry and love your content/ helpfull content and passion! Keep up the good work! Bless!
I'm most grateful to you, Vincenzo, for teaching me how to make the perfect base Tomato sauce. I like your other recipes, but this alone is worth gold to me.
You don't have to explain yourself to defend against those stupid mean comments. There are always people who live to make others miserable. Your channel is great, and your enthusiasm for Italian cooking is inspiring. Thank you for all you do to make Italian cuisine accessible for all!
Pay no attention to negative comments. The reason I follow this channel is because i love your dishes. I've made a number of them, and they've come out great. As for reaction videos, I enjoy them, especially the reaction to Kay's cooking 😅 As long as you're mixing it up with new recipes, which you are, then everything is great!
This saddens me that there are such cruel, insensitive people in this world that has made these unnecessary comments about you. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I have made several of your recipes & the dish has been absolutely delicious. I thank you for providing such an excellent channel. Keep up the great work.
many times you have helped me create beautiful real food for a family that uses pre-made sauces in the past. your recipes and insight have helped me get closer to family and share love for simplicity. thankyou Vincenzo! you’re an Aussie gem on this platform.
Hi Vincenzo, I think your videos are great. Your videos have definitely helped me learn more about authentic Italian cooking. Unfortunately you can't please everyone, and some people just want to spread negativity because they have nothing better to do. Don't let them bring you down. Anyway, the only thing I would suggest is that I would love to see more recipe videos. Also I would love to see some more videos on Italian culture. I remember you have done some of those those types of videos in the past and they were really enjoyable.
We LOVE Vincenzo! I make a different recipe of his each week and they are always fantastic. He makes everything seem accessible and his relaxed, encouraging style is refreshing. By the way, we also think he is VERY funny! Vincenzo, PLEASE keep doing what you're doing. We appreciate you staying true to your Italian ancestry! Grazie!
This little Eskimo made it all the way to Rome. We took a real Italian cooking lesson and enjoyed an unforgettable night looking over Rome. We made pasta both ravioli and linguine with sauce using Guanciale for the sauce 😍 watching your videos and making your true Italian recipes brings me back to Italy every time!! Bless you and your family Vincenzo!! You bring so much joy ❣️ I have very large snowballs for those haters!
You’ve taught me so much about food and allowed me to see food differently learning the authentic recipes, not just with Italian food but now I do it with all cuisines. I love your videos and reactions!
From you and your friend David i have learned to make the perfect and most delicious Bolognese sauce.I appreciate your effort that you are putting in making people realise what it means to cook real food and the right way with natural ingredients. Keep up the good work,your videos are enjoyable and full of quality content.
I absolutely love your content most times, especially your recipe videos! You have definitely taught me quite a bit, and that's so appreciated - especially as an American with Italian heritage. I think where people get turned off is sometimes how strongly you react to certain things. You have to understand that, often, Italian-Americans (especially today's generation) are just doing what they were taught by their predecessors who were, themselves, sometimes a generation or more removed from Italy. Culture shifts over time based on many things, including necessity. But people in the USA are very, VERY proud of what they feel is Italian culture. And I think, to that one commenter's point, there's often room for both. And that's what I love about your videos that aim to truly teach these points gently - you can show that while their way may not be the traditional way, that doesn't mean it's BAD - just that it's inauthentic to how things have been or are currently done in Italy. For example, I grew up going to my nonna's house every Sunday and having meatballs and pasta with a red sauce. This was a recipe she got from her Sicilian mother and adjusted to her liking. It would not at all be considered an authentic sugo, but it's delicious. The reason I love your channel is because, although I learned to make things like carbonara or alfredo from American recipes (not my nonna's), I didn't know any better, so learning the actual authentic recipe has made me feel even closer to my heritage. That doesn't mean I'm not proud of the things which make me an Italian-American, as well. I think sometimes your classic Italian passion can get misconstrued, so a gentler delivery may sometimes be helpful. Recognizing that just because something isn't authentic doesn't mean it's not good has helped me, too. The American take on Carbonara, with cream and peas, is still very tasty - but I agree, it should be called something different (and it certainly doesn't hold a candle to ACTUAL Carbonara). But people shouldn't be punished or flamed simply for not knowing. That's why I like your educational stuff more, but I get a kick out of your reaction videos, too - it's just that sometimes people can feel like it's gatekeeping. If a dish is tasty, and prepared WELL, then to each their own. So a gentle reminder that it shouldn't be called "authentic", or a gentle education on what the authentic recipe actually *is* should be all people need - and you do that most of the times. Keep it up, ignore Reddit, but keep in mind that most of the time people aren't purposefully trying to deface or degrade Italian culture or recipes - they simply don't know better, and that's why it's awesome that you educate them! Love your stuff! Keep it up e grazie mille!!
The only people that don't have haters are those that are completely bland. You're a cool and funny guy and I've never seen you being mean-spirited or rude to anyone in the comments. Ignore those Reddit basement-dwellers.
Speaking only for myself, I find your videos extremely entertaining. I feel I have learned a lot from watching your recipes and your reactions. Also, your recipe with the pistachios rocks!!
We love you Vincenzo!!!! I’ve made all of your recipes here in Byron Bay!!! You bridge the gap between Italian cooking and the real person at home. Thank you for this. I love your recipes as much as your videos. Just be grateful you are big enough to get negative attention hahah. You’re the man and keep being you!!!! You are funny, smart, your technique is amazing. I value your opinion so much. Keep it coming. Thanks from BYRON BAY. ❤
I was born into an Italian family, and Vincenzo’s Plate is one of the few channels that authentically captures and elucidates Italian cuisine. I recognize all the recipes and techniques my grandma used back in Italy. There's no doubt about it. I would completely dismiss any negative comments. You are a true ambassador of Italian cuisine and deserve immense credit for your work.
Vincenzo you enticed me to try anchovies in pasta, Puttanesca. It’s quickly turning into my favorite dish. Listen, if you have an audience for the critique videos and it helps you provide for the family, don’t worry about it. Family first.
RUclips has a background of deleting comments themselves or at least not show them because XYZ. There's no real explanation to this (to me), I just wanted to comment that, that this is not particular your fault. But not all viewers don't know that
Grazie for this comment, this is what most people need to know! I just don’t see the purpose of deleting comments. As I said, I just remove some very offensive comments
Yeah, the YT censorship is getting really tight. Many comments get automatically deleted within 1 minute. Sometimes, it's hard to write a comment (on certain topics) that will get through because the algorithm gets triggered by this or that word or phrase. It's insane.
@@vincenzosplateAlso, OP didn't mention, but any reader of comments can "report" a comment. If the YT bot, or whatever mechanism responds to such reports thinks the report is valid, bye bye comment.
Don't let it get you down. You have improved my Italian cooking 100%. I'll follow you and do your recipes as long as you continue. Grazie mille Vincenzo's plate.
As a retired chef, I love your channel and your food. I havre learned a lot from you presentations. As far as you making fun of some of the material out there on line, you are gentle compared to when I was a chef. Keep doing what you do. It is wonderful. When I was a chef I would tell critics "You don't tell me how or what to cook, and I won't tell you how to go outside my kitchen and f### yourself." Bravo Vincenzo!!!!!!!!
My husband tried your pomodoro a few years back and we've been hooked ever since. There's always at least one of your recipes in our weekly meals. They're cheap, easy, quick, and delicious. I don't believe anyone who says bad things about your channel have ever tried your recipes. Serious game changer. Thank you for sharing them! ❤
Haters gonna hate. Some people think that your reaction videos are throwing shade on others and fail to realize that you are teaching the right way, what is authentic, etc. I see this on other cooking channels I follow. Ignore them.
Vincenzo keep being you, the internet is full of nasty cowards behind a keyboard. You've taught me so many amazing recipes and made my dinners with friends, family and loved ones better. You're the real boss!
Hi Vincenzo I’ve always found your recipes so good and it’s changed my cooking for the better . You’re obviously very passionate about your cooking and you always strive for perfection and you also use humour which is great. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Every time I’ve responded to your recipes you’ve always responded and for that I thank you. To me that is the mark of a gentleman. There are always going to be nasty people out there and that is life. Do not let them upset you. You have far more respect than nasty critics .
My friend, thank you a lot for your comment! I do LOVE to interact with all of you, and I take all the suggestions and positive criticisms that can help me improve my channel! Thank you again for your support!
Ciao Vincenzo, as a fellow Italian myself I think you do a great job with your content, and I agree there is nothing wrong with wanting to share with people how to cook Italian food with more understanding. I have got your back. Grazie. Gino
Thank you very much! Your kind words mean a lot. I'm glad you enjoy my cooking tips. Let's continue sharing our love for Italian food with everyone! Grazie and see you soon!
You’re not going to please everybody. And there are many people who simply think they are/know better. Don’t let them discourage you. I’ve always looked to your videos for AUTHENTIC Italian dishes done the right way and it’s always been consistent with other native Italians. Thank you for everything and keep up the great work Amico
Vincenzo, there will always be critics out there and I think you handled this video beautifully. I think what people fail to understand is that cooking is an expression of love. Your videos, and authentic recipes are exactly what they are supposed to be, Authentic. Some people need to understand that authentic recipes are a great starting point. Keep up the good work, Happy Birthday (I think you said you just turned 40), Love the recipes, and I'll see you in June for the tour. John
Ciao my friend, I’m aware there will always be haters out there, but when you have such a beautiful community you really don’t care! Can’t wait to see you in June, yay!
Ragazzo, never ever justify your cooking or your style. I made your salmon pasta yesterday evening with the capers, the lemon and the Mascarpone. You're fantastic!
I used to burn water and lived off peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I found this channel by watching an Uncle Roger reaction video and it changed my life. From there I started trying the dishes on Vincenzo's Plate and from other RUclips Personalities like Joshua Weissman and Ethan Chlebowski. My food is tasting better and my growing skill in the kitchen is actually allowing me to become healthier. Thank you Vincenzo.
I alswys love it how americans defend kraft mac and cheese with such passion :D Going after vincenzo saying hes wrong about their 3$ plastic noodle and artificial cheese glue and how properly made mac and cheese is 30$ lol... If you spend 30$ making mac and cheese you really messed up somewhere real bad... And i also fulyl disagree about comments of him being arrogant or bullying people... That has never ever happened. Constructive criticism and pointing out what they did wrong in terms of cooking steps etc. Vincenzo is passionate about food and is teaching us how to elevate our favorite italian recipes. What i value most about him is that he is a diehard purist. Many old recipes are being brutalized by tv chefs and youtube chefs. If a lot of people start using those recipes the old original recipes will eventually die off
wow.. you have a heart of steel chef, to dare to read mean comments like that.. not everyone can take it like you do.. please do what you love best and keep entertaining us.. god bless you~
I can do that cause I really don’t care about rude and mean people out there. It’s been 10 years since I started and we built a beautiful community and that’s all I care of!
Vincenzo, don't change a thing. You have all these followers for a reason, and that is that we enjoy your recipes, and we enjoy the way you present it. Well done, my friend, and I'm looking forward to your next video. Keep up the great work!
I love your channel just the way it is. I even respect you so much that you really try to reply all the youtube comments on your channel (even in very numerous comments). Keep humble and your channel really help me to learn about Italian cuisine and culture. Grazie Vincenzo 🥂
I do find he has been overly judgmental about how someone makes a dish when he does a reaction video. Those judgmental faces, expressions, and comments come off as being off-putting to me. Dishes don't have to be exactly made the way he is familiar with. Food nowadays have been a fusion of different cultures and different ingredients within one's budget. I wish he would just tone down the rudeness of his reaction videos.
Vincenzo, your channel made me fall in love with italian food. I used to like pasta and italian recipes but you made me want to make great italian recipes and what your channel has taught me is that great italian food is simple. Your bolognese video is prime example of that. Let the ingredients shine, dont overcomplicate. I thank you for that. I will admit one thing though. I have been following you for a few years now and if i have one criticism that i can see got worse through the years is that i find that in your reaction videos you seem to assume that everyone watch your cokking videos and that they should know better. Im not a big fan of reaction videos because i think its way too easy to just shit on someone's work without context. Its easy content to make and its really easy to just fall into degradation, and i do see you do it sometimes. Appart from that i love your content and keep dishing out the great recipes and awesome tips!
I have made several of your recipes and they are so good that I even prepared them for my family and everyone loves them. Your videos on how to choose the best extra virgin olive oil , pasta, tomato sauce etc, have been so helpful, especially the olive oil which can be so expensive. So, thank you for what you do and your channel, and don’t pay too much attention to the bad comments. People are like this. Cheers from Montreal.
I do like you Vin, but seriously, please calm down on the reaction videos. It's OK to react to celebrities or people who are millionaires, big streamers. But leave the small fish, everyday folks alone who don't know any better and don't want to know any better
I’ll chip in and also thank you for all your recipes AND reaction videos. I’ve learned a lot and keep a file of all the recipes I love. My only comment, which I’ve tried to say before, as an Italian-American, sometimes I get the feeling you don’t understand that our American versions were born out of a “poverty” of ingredients. Italian immigrants to our country were trying their best to recreate what they cooked in Italy, but were very limited. There is a long tradition now in this country of Italian-American cooking. You can consider them a “dialect” of Italian cooking, as in Italy, regions have their own versions of the “same” recipe. Many of our home-grown versions are actually very good, but not “pure” Italian and shouldn’t be evaluated in comparison to traditional recipes.
I actually fell in love with italian food after making your recipes 😁 Now i want to go to Italy Also about msg Pecorino cheese actually contains natural msg so you don't need to use msg to have it in your food (not artificialy added)
Hey Vincenzo, just wanna say that I love your stuff, your recipes always make me and my family have a good night, but I do agree that the reaction videos do need some work. I do think that the memes can get stale, and that you put an air about yourself that does seem a tad mean. Still absolutely love your stuff, and I can’t wait to see your new stuff knowing what you know now!
Hi Vincenzo, pay no attention to the mean rude comments on Reddit. You are very helpful in my quest to make great Italian food! You're not boring, you definitely have a great sense of humor. Your real, handsome, and so cute I want to pinch your cheek! Keep doing what your doing, you're great.
let's just say they're missing out on some primo pasta! Your support means the world to me, and I'm here to keep dishing out deliciousness and spreading the love Italian cuisine.
I'm pretty sure that the lovers far outnumber the haters. Don't bother with changing anything. We all love what you're doing and it was lovely to get a bit of a history on your life as well!
I’m not a chef or cook either but thanks to your videos Vincenzo, my Italian cuisine has improved 100%. I also love Eva and Harper and their recipes. Some folks just want attention. Ignore them and carry on doing what you do 😊
I don't know how long I have been watching your videos.... I love them. As soon as I have a kitchen I will try to cook like you so. By the way what ist "Reddit"? Thank you very much, Vincenzo, for sharing your video with us.
Why are you explaining yourself?!? You are obviously doing a good job with your channel. I find your recipes quite good! If I have to admit your videos helped me out during my wife's labour 😂 The first thing I cooked when we came back home from the hospital was one of your pasta dishes! 😊
Thank you vincenzo. You are the best. Thanks for teaching me to cook fabulous Italian food. You are so special. I am grateful for your program. Love your food you teach. So proud of you. Love your. Beautiful family too. Thanks
Dont worry about the haters Vincenzo. I really enjoy the channel. My wife said to me "you have been cooking heaps good stuff lately". Its all of the stuff Ive been cooking from Vincenzo's Plate. Carbonara, Bolognese (from David's recipe video I think) and the eggplant parmigiana. Also learning how to pick the good pasts, EVOO and canned tomatoes has been useful. Keep it up.
I wouldn’t worry about those negative reviews. I enjoy your videos and I made some of the most authentic Italian dishes watching you so thank you and keep up the good work
And.... I should add. You are the one who teach me how to make Carbonara and not being intimidated.... I have learned so much from you. Much more than from any of my fancy Italian cookbooks. Thank You 🙏🏼
That took a lot of guts. It is very hard to read out personal criticisms. You’ve never met these people. You’re reading them out to an audience. I honestly think it’s better for your mental health to avoid haters. Stay away from Reddit and other toxic spaces. Having said that, it does not matter whether the RUclips comments are nice / nasty. They all tell RUclips that there is a lot of engagement on your channel.
I have always enjoyed your channel, and you! The fact that you are willing to address your critics speaks volumes about your character. I like your recipes, your instruction, and the way you conduct yourself when reviewing recipes. Thank you!
I always make sure to have an open mind and listen to criticism professionally. This will also help me on how I can improve my works. Your support means a lot. I'm glad you enjoy my channel and recipes. Let's keep cooking together!
It was sad and fun (at the same time) reading all these mean comments about me. I am happy because I know that most of you are on my side and motivate me every single day to share more recipes and videos with you. Love you everyone
If you don't have haters or enemies, it means that you make no impact. Ride like the wind Vincenzo...
I think your channel is great. There are a lot of idiots on social media. I enjoy your channel because you're knowledgeable and enthusiastic about food. Tbh , I enjoy more videos about making food rather than reaction videos but I understand that reaction videos are more popular! Keep up the great work in encouraging people to eat nice Italian food ! 😂😊
You can't pease everyone, and some people are they way they are.
Vincenzo I love you and every video. Please keep going 🙏🏼🦋💙
They type. They don't cook enough. I don't get to watch all your shows but I enjoy the ones I do watch. Ignore reddit.
Never read the comments on Reddit Vincenzo. Your passion for cooking is inspirational and we don’t want you to lose it over some silly comments. You’ve taught all of us how to cook and built a loyal audience. You’re doing just fine 👍🙂
Didn’t expect to see you here haha
Don't spend time watching cooking videos while YOUR audience has to wait.....😉
Vinny, my man, never get dragged into a reddit thread. You make delicious simple food, and when I was in Italy that's what the food was. Learning about real Italian food has been a great joy and you've changed my cooking for the better. Keeping making real Italian food and teaching people that the American version of Italian food is not authentic Italian food. You saved this American.
Aw thank you so much for writing this message to me! Messages like yours are my biggest motivation to keep doing what I do 😊
@@vincenzosplate I'm not even going to write my own thing here............................ because this guy just said exactly what I would have.
So, I'll just say and ask you to maintain the standards. IF people sook, then they're not worthy of what the standard should be, for the food descriptions and expectations for what comprises the ingredients, the cooking the techniques et all..... This is all critical for the definition of the dish you are presenting to us.
Is this a problem??? Well, its a them problem..............it NOT a you problem!
Reddit will swallow you like Mos Eisley. It is a hive of scum and villainy.@@vincenzosplate

I literally don't understand how anyone could hate or be rude to Vincenzo. Even if you disagree with his style, recipes, or opinion, he is seriously one of the most loving, genuine, understanding, polite, interactive, positive and encouraging chefs and social media giants I have ever come across. I feel like he is my big brother, and in my heart, he is.
Yea, just look at his Kay's cooking reaction vids. Tells you a lot about him.
He's humble, that's what I noticed the most about him. He doesn't pretend to be the world's best chef, he shows where he learns from others himself... how many chefs do you know that are like that? They are stereotypically pretentious, but Vincenzo isn't. For example the videos he did with a far younger dude from Italy that, because he was explaining his Nonna's recipe, Vincenzo just went along with everything the guy said... why? Because the recipe came from a legitimate Nonna from Italy and Vincenzo knows not to argue with that level of expertise (generations of cooking).
ignore the hate man Vincenzo, i followed you recipe for a job interview at Scala in Cape Town and made your recipe in my head for your cacio e pepe and i got the job! i will always and forever love and appreciate your content!
That is a cool story, congrats on the job!
Oh wow I love to hear that 🤩 thank you so much!
@@vincenzosplateoh really ? I also love you too Vince ♥️😊
Yay on the Cacio e Pepe, my most favorite dish! If there was ever a reason to buy the best quality black pepper this is it! I often find it on my meatless Monday menu
Vincenzo, we love you! Keep up your AMAZING work ❤
As Dante Alighieri said “Non ti curar di loro”, people like those hasn’t nothing better to do with their time 😂
Vincenzo, ignor these idiots. You provide great recipes and great knowledge. Also, I love your humor. Don't change anything
Wow thank you sooo much, I appreciate ❤️🙏🏻
I work at an Italian resto in Buenos Aires, the owner Is from the North of Italy and he is just like you, he defends the real Italian food, he has so much respect for the recipes, the ingredients and the way to make them, that remind me of you. Keep doing your thing you are great!!! Kisses from Argentina 🇦🇷
It's all about the generations of knowledge, in other words the Nonna's in Italy. Question whatever you want, but not them.
The haters can continue to write negative comments as much as they want: in the meantime, we continue to enjoy excellent Italian cuisine with you Vincenzo. Un saluto dalle Marche, continua così!
Yay, grazie mille for your support 🙏🏻
Un grande abbraccio ❤️
Anyone who writes a negative comment about his recipes has never attempted to cook for themself.
@@530skeptic I agree. The vast majority of criticisms are written by people who not only are not Italian and have never been to Italy, but most likely do not have the slightest idea of what cooking (for real) means in general... and in my opinion, the Italian cuisine is particularly difficult to master: you need to know how to work a few high quality ingredients in the best possible way, with very precise steps that leave no room for "interpretation". A small mistake can ruin the whole dish. Vincenzo is an exceptional chef, and knows how to best present traditional Italian recipes (especially from central Italy, Abruzzo, Marche, Umbria, Lazio, Tuscany, Romagna)
If you want clearly explained, authentic, and proud Italian regional dishes Vincenzo's Plate, Pasta Grammar, and Pasta Grannies are 3 of the very best. You're doing a service for the world!
Vincenzo is great he really is.
Reddit sucks Vincenzo, I would suggest staying away from the platform altogether! I don’t need a chef to teach me how to cook beautiful Italian food. I need an Italian home cook. That, you are. And you spread the love of the food. Thank you! ❤
Edit: I am a single parent! Why would I bother? Ha! Because my son and I are eating a much better meal than Kraft Mac and Cheese! And it’s cheap and delicious, even though I’m buying more expensive pasta (La Molisana 😋). 🇮🇹
You’re super kind, really, thank you so much ❤️🙏🏻 this means a lot to me!
I agree. Reddit is a place for the miserable and the crazy.
When you said “stay away from the platform” I thought you meant youtube for a second. I panicked
Exactly. Reddit is just an echo chamber for people with fragile egos. Not once have I ever seen or heard Vincenzo attacking anyone at all.
@@sarahm9723I'm sorry but you cannot say that while in.... a RUclips comments section lmao.
Vincenzo, i recently found your channel while searching information on real Olive Oil and appreciated how you tasted and commented on the them. I find your channel refreshing and very funny, my grandkids just loved the "How to make MARINARA SAUCE" when you say "The smell of garlic comes into my nostrils ..ah.." hilarious! We laughed and became fans. By the way, I love the memes, many youngsters around here are entertained by them. Keep on going!
I can’t stand it when people say “this person doesn’t have any kind of professional culinary background education”. Go try telling that to all the Nonnas. Plenty of people know how to cook amazing food just because they love to cook and love to learn how to make delicious food and have plenty of experience under their belt. They are probably the same kind of people that think Giada‘s boobs have a culinary degree.
The nonnas have their professional culinary background from school of life and university of hardships. Beats any fancy schmancy drown in debt piece of degree paper.
One of my favorite things when I lived in a huge city was to treat myself every Sunday to a meal out at a random hole-in-the-wall restaurant, usually run by some auntie or uncle probably without a lick of formal training in his/her life. The food was usually good! Making good food for family, neighbors, and friends following grandma's recipes, tested and tweaked for possibly dozens to hundreds of years with thousands of days of feedback, is going to produce more good cooks than the average cooking school diploma.
This is known by many as the "appeal to authority" fallacy 🙃
The top chef's making Italian food *got it all from* the Nonna's. Decades of trial and error. I'm so passionate about it because my own father used to cook bolognese sauce and make curry for 25 years, as his child I ate it every time he made it and I noticed it only ever got better and better every time. That's not something anyone can teach, it takes years and years of cooking yourself to realize how to cook. The Italian Nonna's rule over all of cuisine worldwide. Maybe they don't realize it but that only cements their position as the world's best chefs.
Yes, growing up as an Italian female, we are taught by nonna and mamma to make pasta before the age of 10. I use to make carbonara with scrambled eggs from a young age. It was too expensive for peasants. Eggs were sold to buy other staples which could not be grown. In the wealthier cities such as Rome it is logical they would be more inclined to add the scrambled eggs to the carbonara.
My mother being dirt poor for generations would skimp on eggs to this day when making pasta. We still fight to this day about how much eggs to use when making homemade pasta. If she had it her way it would be just flour and water. 😮
From a young age I rebelled against the peasant mentally and included scrambled eggs in my carbonara. If I can't add them into the carbonara then for what reason do I need to reserve them? Eggs are no longer a luxury for the majority of the population. I no longer need to sell my eggs to buy some olive oil to drizzle on my veggies.😊
You enhanced my cooking experience and now your recipes are a main stay of our household!
Thank you for being you and having the bravery to put yourself out there!
I still do finely chopped and saute my sofrito but now add Passata to my slow cooker instead of a pot for my Bolognese once everything is prepared traditionally. I always sear my meat before putting it in a slow cooker.
Oh wow this makes me so happy, many many thanks 🙏🏻❤️
Same here
Vincenzo! Don't ever change, you are always fair and kind and wanting to put a smile on people faces with your cooking and videos. Your videos are easy and fun to follow. I may not be an expert on Italian food to criticize but my Italian girlfriend is a true culinary maestro and she put me onto your channel and through both of your teachings I've been able to make dishes which is a real blessing! I just ask for one thing... how do they put the coffee in the pocket???
A chef is not someone that has fancy paperwork it is someone that knows how to cook food the right way and Ever since I found this channel I've been lerning more and more about Italian cuisine correctly vincenzo is a great cook no matter what people think of him
A foodie knows how to cook food right, a chef DOES cook food right. It takes execution not a degree to be a chef.
@@torilessa chef runs the kitchen, line cooks do most of the cooking. The chef should be the one to make sure everything that goes out is correct
A chef is the one who is in charge of the restaurant kitchen. A line cook isn't a chef. That's just what the word means and why people are so sensitive about it. Because it's a title that's hard to earn. It's also a completely unnecessary to teach home cooking so yeah...
@Gonorrheagorgonzola so my point still stands
@@NULTAMBOR807 yeah I wasn't disagreeing with you for the most part. This channel is my favorite resource for italian recipes and the stuff I made following the recipes got really close to the food I had in Rome last week.
Just to add something about the technicalities of the Chef title.
i love your traditional italian recipes for carbonara and marinara sauce - its like im eating a very nice dish at an old fancy italian restaurant with prices for the upper class
Thank you so much, mille, mille grazie ♥
Vincenzo, you are doing a good job. I find you humorous.
Some people just like to troll others. Most complaining about you never even gave examples, they just call you names.
Keep up the good work. Would love to see more Italian foods without pasta or pizza.
But over all great job.
You’re absolutely right, but I just want to enjoy the love I get for my supporters and that enough ❤️
I never cooked a recipe of yours that didn’t improve my Italian cooking. You’ve taught me a lot. What keeps me coming back to your content is that you have an amazing personality. Don’t change a thing!
It warms my heart to know that you’re learning a lot from my videos. I can’t wait to share more of my recipes. What would you like to see next?
My suggestion isn’t going to be a popular one😂
I’d love to see some more vegan dishes if you know of any. The pasta e ceci recipe is 🔥
@@vincenzosplate I’d love for that cookbook of yours to get released :) keep up the great recipes Vincenzo. I also entirely changed my cooking Italian dishes thanks to your RUclips channel. Bravo! “That’s the perfect amount of pepper!” Definitely not too boring. Most importantly you’re a great cook Vincenzo!! You’re most underrated pasta that deserves praise is the pistachio pesto and shrimp with fennel sprinkled in n top!! Amazing recipe Vincenzo 👍
Some of the best chefs in the world weren’t trained in a school. And many famous, award winning chefs say it isn’t needed for every chef. It’s about experience and technique and passion! You keep doing what you love! We love your talent and you sharing your recipes, opinions and humor!!!
Not all award winning, highly skilled, professional actors attended performance schools. Not all amazing singers had voice lessons. Many grew up singing in the church choir and the shower.
The ‘you don’t need to be a chef in order to cook good food’ is absolutely true. I’ve been lucky enough to have many amazing Italian meals in Rome, Florence, Venice and Cinque Terre, mainly in local Trattoria type places.
But the best meal I have had in my life was Chicken Cacciatore cooked by an Italian friend in the U.K.
They are a Personal Assistant in a Hospital never professionally worked as a chef or cook ever. Chicken totally melted in the mouth and was the best chicken I ever had.
Found this channel afterwards as wanted to level up my cooking skills and product knowledge also bought an Italian cookbook. My skills and competence has certainly improved.
Thanks Vincenzo 😎
Ive never seen Vincenzo say anything rude about other cooks in RUclips reaction videos. We love Vincenzo ❤
Neither did I. It would be a turn off to me. I think he’s quite charming in his reaction videos. I learned a lot from his videos and am happy I found this channel. In fact I have a Bolognese sauce in the planning for tomorrow, which improved for the better thanks to Vincenzo.😋
I wouldn't say rude, but I feel that in some of his reaction videos, his comments can border on mean-sprited/condescending, despite the somewhat light demeanor he portrays. I stopped watching those videos but enjoy his other ones. In the eye of the beholder I suppose, from here it seems clear that most fans disagree.
Maybe a tad sometimes but there is no comparison to the cringy Gordon Ramsey on Kitchen Nightmares. He is abusive in my opinion.
Ignore the haters, you can’t please everyone but obviously you are doing something right given your number of subscribers. I am a half Abruzzese/ American and I watch your channel to help me cook some of the dishes I miss that my Nonna made and have learned a lot! Grazie Mille Vincenzo 🇮🇹♥️
You and Pasta Grammar are the best English-language channels for authentic Italian food. Keep up the good work! Forza Vincenzo!
love your recipes, I made your pasta al limone with pecorino last night and it was amazing. looking forward to your next video!
OMG this pasta has become my all time favorite!!
Vincenzo, I think you’re fantastic. You bring other chefs on as well and your enthusiasm is contagious. I learned how to make a great Neapolitan pizza on your channel and bolognese as well. I enjoy just watching you teach…always with the secret ingredient…love! Don’t change being you…it’s a winning recipe.
It's not good to be isolated in an echo chamber. Very humbling to hear it from people who don't like you and its great moment for self reflection.
Can't please everybody, but its also silly to ignore all negativity like they don't exist.
It was really nice to learn more about your life Vincenzo! Keep doing what you are doing! You are informative, funny, and never boring.😊
Thank you a lot for the support ❤️🙏🏻
Vincenzo don't worry about mean and rude comments. I think your recipes are very good. If someone leaves comments like that they are jerks and just enjoy stirring up negative feelings. Let them go somewhere else.
Reddit was made for a good porpoise. To allow people freedom of speech. The sad downside of this though is that haters will use it as a safe space, a guard to be able to slander your name without getting blocked. They rather do a hate speech than criticize you with facts and reasons.
Well done Vinzenzo for standing your ground and calling these people out to expose them from their guard. It takes a lot of confidence and courage to do so. And your recipes are the sole reason I could finally recognize all the mistakes I've made cooking pasta dishes before I got to know you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love that: Reddit was made for a good Porpoise! What the, Porpoise only eat raw fish LMAO! Of course you meant purpose! 🤣
@@paulbonge6617 I guess it's too late for me to edit that out hahaha!
reddit was not made for freedom of speech rather to ask community question or ask for help.
Thank you so much for your comment, I know there are a lot of haters out there, but I’m happy with my community and love every single person who spend times watching and appreciating my content! So thank you 🙏🏻❤️
To swim with dolphins? For what purpose I do not know
An Italian here. You are a GREAT cook, educational, & like my uncles, from Italy - EXTREMELY FUNNY! I understand Italian humor, and also understand that ppl can take the Italian attitude towards Italian food (The BEST that God ever created) as arrogant, among other things.
Non-Italians do not understand. You must get inside the thought process of Italiana. If you don't, you have lost a very special gift. This "gift" stays inside your head, popping out unexpectedly - when you need a good laugh!
Listen up! Vincenzo & good, Italian food cooked under ITALIAN LAW, that every Italian has learned by family before them, will be the healing medicine that will save your life! So, NONGE YOU make Vincenzo suffer like this no more!!!
P.S. I LOVE that you are wearing a "Godfather" tee-shirt while responding to critical comments. That was NOT lost on me! Ciao!
All this with a slightly raspy voice as well. 🤌🤌🤌
I myself definitely learnt a lot from you and I’m Black. There’s a couple of recipes you did that I still cook and my family think is fire. So I appreciate you. God bless and I hope you stay on RUclips.
What has your color to do with any of this? 🤦♂️
I was describing myself and letting him know he’s loved by all people over the world. And letting him know he’s doing a Great job.
@@user-bz4ys4hp6zwhy did you comment?
@@xamineseethru9913 You could’ve done a way better job describing yourself than just saying what color you are. 😆 Like ur country / nationality / profession?
Never mind the toxic people Vincenzo, i went to culinary school and worked in the industry and love your content/ helpfull content and passion! Keep up the good work! Bless!
I'm most grateful to you, Vincenzo, for teaching me how to make the perfect base Tomato sauce. I like your other recipes, but this alone is worth gold to me.
You don't have to explain yourself to defend against those stupid mean comments. There are always people who live to make others miserable. Your channel is great, and your enthusiasm for Italian cooking is inspiring. Thank you for all you do to make Italian cuisine accessible for all!
Pay no attention to negative comments.
The reason I follow this channel is because i love your dishes. I've made a number of them, and they've come out great.
As for reaction videos, I enjoy them, especially the reaction to Kay's cooking 😅
As long as you're mixing it up with new recipes, which you are, then everything is great!
This saddens me that there are such cruel, insensitive people in this world that has made these unnecessary comments about you. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I have made several of your recipes & the dish has been absolutely delicious. I thank you for providing such an excellent channel. Keep up the great work.
many times you have helped me create beautiful real food for a family that uses pre-made sauces in the past. your recipes and insight have helped me get closer to family and share love for simplicity. thankyou Vincenzo! you’re an Aussie gem on this platform.
This message made me so happy! Thank you for all the love and support ❤️
Hi Vincenzo, I think your videos are great. Your videos have definitely helped me learn more about authentic Italian cooking. Unfortunately you can't please everyone, and some people just want to spread negativity because they have nothing better to do. Don't let them bring you down. Anyway, the only thing I would suggest is that I would love to see more recipe videos. Also I would love to see some more videos on Italian culture. I remember you have done some of those those types of videos in the past and they were really enjoyable.
Sir. Absolutely love your channel and you’ve truly helped me expand my cooking repertoire so thank you tons. Much love and respect.
No French allowed, this is not Chef JP
Touche.
We LOVE Vincenzo! I make a different recipe of his each week and they are always fantastic. He makes everything seem accessible and his relaxed, encouraging style is refreshing. By the way, we also think he is VERY funny! Vincenzo, PLEASE keep doing what you're doing. We appreciate you staying true to your Italian ancestry! Grazie!
This little Eskimo made it all the way to Rome. We took a real Italian cooking lesson and enjoyed an unforgettable night looking over Rome. We made pasta both ravioli and linguine with sauce using Guanciale for the sauce 😍 watching your videos and making your true Italian recipes brings me back to Italy every time!! Bless you and your family Vincenzo!! You bring so much joy ❣️ I have very large snowballs for those haters!
You’ve taught me so much about food and allowed me to see food differently learning the authentic recipes, not just with Italian food but now I do it with all cuisines. I love your videos and reactions!
From you and your friend David i have learned to make the perfect and most delicious Bolognese sauce.I appreciate your effort that you are putting in making people realise what it means to cook real food and the right way with natural ingredients. Keep up the good work,your videos are enjoyable and full of quality content.
I absolutely love your content most times, especially your recipe videos! You have definitely taught me quite a bit, and that's so appreciated - especially as an American with Italian heritage. I think where people get turned off is sometimes how strongly you react to certain things. You have to understand that, often, Italian-Americans (especially today's generation) are just doing what they were taught by their predecessors who were, themselves, sometimes a generation or more removed from Italy. Culture shifts over time based on many things, including necessity. But people in the USA are very, VERY proud of what they feel is Italian culture. And I think, to that one commenter's point, there's often room for both. And that's what I love about your videos that aim to truly teach these points gently - you can show that while their way may not be the traditional way, that doesn't mean it's BAD - just that it's inauthentic to how things have been or are currently done in Italy. For example, I grew up going to my nonna's house every Sunday and having meatballs and pasta with a red sauce. This was a recipe she got from her Sicilian mother and adjusted to her liking. It would not at all be considered an authentic sugo, but it's delicious.
The reason I love your channel is because, although I learned to make things like carbonara or alfredo from American recipes (not my nonna's), I didn't know any better, so learning the actual authentic recipe has made me feel even closer to my heritage. That doesn't mean I'm not proud of the things which make me an Italian-American, as well. I think sometimes your classic Italian passion can get misconstrued, so a gentler delivery may sometimes be helpful. Recognizing that just because something isn't authentic doesn't mean it's not good has helped me, too. The American take on Carbonara, with cream and peas, is still very tasty - but I agree, it should be called something different (and it certainly doesn't hold a candle to ACTUAL Carbonara). But people shouldn't be punished or flamed simply for not knowing. That's why I like your educational stuff more, but I get a kick out of your reaction videos, too - it's just that sometimes people can feel like it's gatekeeping.
If a dish is tasty, and prepared WELL, then to each their own. So a gentle reminder that it shouldn't be called "authentic", or a gentle education on what the authentic recipe actually *is* should be all people need - and you do that most of the times. Keep it up, ignore Reddit, but keep in mind that most of the time people aren't purposefully trying to deface or degrade Italian culture or recipes - they simply don't know better, and that's why it's awesome that you educate them!
Love your stuff! Keep it up e grazie mille!!
The only people that don't have haters are those that are completely bland. You're a cool and funny guy and I've never seen you being mean-spirited or rude to anyone in the comments. Ignore those Reddit basement-dwellers.
Speaking only for myself, I find your videos extremely entertaining. I feel I have learned a lot from watching your recipes and your reactions. Also, your recipe with the pistachios rocks!!
Ignore the stupid comments brother. My family loves your dishes and we love your authenticity.
We love you Vincenzo!!!! I’ve made all of your recipes here in Byron Bay!!! You bridge the gap between Italian cooking and the real person at home. Thank you for this. I love your recipes as much as your videos. Just be grateful you are big enough to get negative attention hahah. You’re the man and keep being you!!!! You are funny, smart, your technique is amazing. I value your opinion so much. Keep it coming. Thanks from BYRON BAY. ❤
Without your channel I probably wouldn't be cooking Italian food at all. Much love Vincenzo.
I appreciate such support, my friend! I hope you’ll share this channel to your family and friends.
I was born into an Italian family, and Vincenzo’s Plate is one of the few channels that authentically captures and elucidates Italian cuisine. I recognize all the recipes and techniques my grandma used back in Italy. There's no doubt about it. I would completely dismiss any negative comments. You are a true ambassador of Italian cuisine and deserve immense credit for your work.
I have followed you for years and your cooking works for me. I'm 79 years old.Sono Michaeli.Piacere diconoserti. Please don't stop.Caio
Vincenzo you enticed me to try anchovies in pasta, Puttanesca. It’s quickly turning into my favorite dish. Listen, if you have an audience for the critique videos and it helps you provide for the family, don’t worry about it. Family first.
RUclips has a background of deleting comments themselves or at least not show them because XYZ. There's no real explanation to this (to me), I just wanted to comment that, that this is not particular your fault. But not all viewers don't know that
Grazie for this comment, this is what most people need to know! I just don’t see the purpose of deleting comments. As I said, I just remove some very offensive comments
Yeah, the YT censorship is getting really tight. Many comments get automatically deleted within 1 minute. Sometimes, it's hard to write a comment (on certain topics) that will get through because the algorithm gets triggered by this or that word or phrase. It's insane.
@@vincenzosplateAlso, OP didn't mention, but any reader of comments can "report" a comment. If the YT bot, or whatever mechanism responds to such reports thinks the report is valid, bye bye comment.
Don't let it get you down. You have improved my Italian cooking 100%. I'll follow you and do your recipes as long as you continue.
Grazie mille Vincenzo's plate.
As a retired chef, I love your channel and your food. I havre learned a lot from you presentations. As far as you making fun of some of the material out there on line, you are gentle compared to when I was a chef. Keep doing what you do. It is wonderful. When I was a chef I would tell critics "You don't tell me how or what to cook, and I won't tell you how to go outside my kitchen and f### yourself." Bravo Vincenzo!!!!!!!!
😅😅😅 Well said!
My husband tried your pomodoro a few years back and we've been hooked ever since. There's always at least one of your recipes in our weekly meals. They're cheap, easy, quick, and delicious. I don't believe anyone who says bad things about your channel have ever tried your recipes. Serious game changer. Thank you for sharing them! ❤
Haters gonna hate. Some people think that your reaction videos are throwing shade on others and fail to realize that you are teaching the right way, what is authentic, etc. I see this on other cooking channels I follow. Ignore them.
Shake, shake, shake
Vincenzo keep being you, the internet is full of nasty cowards behind a keyboard. You've taught me so many amazing recipes and made my dinners with friends, family and loved ones better. You're the real boss!
Hi Vincenzo I’ve always found your recipes so good and it’s changed my cooking for the better . You’re obviously very passionate about your cooking and you always strive for perfection and you also use humour which is great. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Every time I’ve responded to your recipes you’ve always responded and for that I thank you. To me that is the mark of a gentleman. There are always going to be nasty people out there and that is life. Do not let them upset you. You have far more respect than nasty critics .
My friend, thank you a lot for your comment!
I do LOVE to interact with all of you, and I take all the suggestions and positive criticisms that can help me improve my channel!
Thank you again for your support!
You're great! Do please ignore these negative reviews and comments.
Ciao Vincenzo, as a fellow Italian myself I think you do a great job with your content, and I agree there is nothing wrong with wanting to share with people how to cook Italian food with more understanding. I have got your back. Grazie. Gino
Thank you very much! Your kind words mean a lot. I'm glad you enjoy my cooking tips. Let's continue sharing our love for Italian food with everyone! Grazie and see you soon!
You’re not going to please everybody. And there are many people who simply think they are/know better.
Don’t let them discourage you. I’ve always looked to your videos for AUTHENTIC Italian dishes done the right way and it’s always been consistent with other native Italians. Thank you for everything and keep up the great work Amico
Vincenzo, there will always be critics out there and I think you handled this video beautifully. I think what people fail to understand is that cooking is an expression of love. Your videos, and authentic recipes are exactly what they are supposed to be, Authentic. Some people need to understand that authentic recipes are a great starting point. Keep up the good work, Happy Birthday (I think you said you just turned 40), Love the recipes, and I'll see you in June for the tour.
John
Ciao my friend, I’m aware there will always be haters out there, but when you have such a beautiful community you really don’t care!
Can’t wait to see you in June, yay!
Ragazzo, never ever justify your cooking or your style. I made your salmon pasta yesterday evening with the capers, the lemon and the Mascarpone. You're fantastic!
I love reading mean / rude / and people hitting on me on my channel and posting it to RUclips. Great job Vincenzo 💯💋
the way he responds to these comments is a perfect representation of supreme italian confidence that I grew up around
Reddit is one of the worst sites. Don't listen to them Vincenzo. Them people probably have never seen grass let alone touch it.
I used to burn water and lived off peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I found this channel by watching an Uncle Roger reaction video and it changed my life. From there I started trying the dishes on Vincenzo's Plate and from other RUclips Personalities like Joshua Weissman and Ethan Chlebowski. My food is tasting better and my growing skill in the kitchen is actually allowing me to become healthier. Thank you Vincenzo.
I alswys love it how americans defend kraft mac and cheese with such passion :D Going after vincenzo saying hes wrong about their 3$ plastic noodle and artificial cheese glue and how properly made mac and cheese is 30$ lol... If you spend 30$ making mac and cheese you really messed up somewhere real bad... And i also fulyl disagree about comments of him being arrogant or bullying people... That has never ever happened. Constructive criticism and pointing out what they did wrong in terms of cooking steps etc. Vincenzo is passionate about food and is teaching us how to elevate our favorite italian recipes. What i value most about him is that he is a diehard purist. Many old recipes are being brutalized by tv chefs and youtube chefs. If a lot of people start using those recipes the old original recipes will eventually die off
I think you are GREAT! Honest, tell it like it is and frankly most of the time you are correct. Don't listen to those fools. Keep doing what you do!
wow.. you have a heart of steel chef, to dare to read mean comments like that.. not everyone can take it like you do..
please do what you love best and keep entertaining us.. god bless you~
I can do that cause I really don’t care about rude and mean people out there. It’s been 10 years since I started and we built a beautiful community and that’s all I care of!
@@vincenzosplate yep.. keep up the good vibes chef!!!
Vincenzo, don't change a thing. You have all these followers for a reason, and that is that we enjoy your recipes, and we enjoy the way you present it. Well done, my friend, and I'm looking forward to your next video. Keep up the great work!
These people trying to bring you down, are ALREADY below you.
I love your channel just the way it is.
I even respect you so much that you really try to reply all the youtube comments on your channel (even in very numerous comments).
Keep humble and your channel really help me to learn about Italian cuisine and culture.
Grazie Vincenzo 🥂
I do find he has been overly judgmental about how someone makes a dish when he does a reaction video. Those judgmental faces, expressions, and comments come off as being off-putting to me. Dishes don't have to be exactly made the way he is familiar with. Food nowadays have been a fusion of different cultures and different ingredients within one's budget. I wish he would just tone down the rudeness of his reaction videos.
It's comedy, come on
Vincenzo, your channel made me fall in love with italian food. I used to like pasta and italian recipes but you made me want to make great italian recipes and what your channel has taught me is that great italian food is simple. Your bolognese video is prime example of that. Let the ingredients shine, dont overcomplicate. I thank you for that. I will admit one thing though. I have been following you for a few years now and if i have one criticism that i can see got worse through the years is that i find that in your reaction videos you seem to assume that everyone watch your cokking videos and that they should know better. Im not a big fan of reaction videos because i think its way too easy to just shit on someone's work without context. Its easy content to make and its really easy to just fall into degradation, and i do see you do it sometimes. Appart from that i love your content and keep dishing out the great recipes and awesome tips!
The audacity of non Italians to criticize an ACTUAL Italian about his knowledge on Italian food.... I'm offended for you, Vincenzo!
This channel inspires me to cook. The reaction videos are often not for me, but every time he cooks, he has my attention.
Reddit is a joke
I have made several of your recipes and they are so good that I even prepared them for my family and everyone loves them. Your videos on how to choose the best extra virgin olive oil , pasta, tomato sauce etc, have been so helpful, especially the olive oil which can be so expensive. So, thank you for what you do and your channel, and don’t pay too much attention to the bad comments. People are like this. Cheers from Montreal.
I do like you Vin, but seriously, please calm down on the reaction videos. It's OK to react to celebrities or people who are millionaires, big streamers. But leave the small fish, everyday folks alone who don't know any better and don't want to know any better
Don’t put anyone on a pedestal
People are just plain ignorant and horrible!!!! Love ya Vincenzo!!!! Video's are awesome!!
I’ll chip in and also thank you for all your recipes AND reaction videos. I’ve learned a lot and keep a file of all the recipes I love. My only comment, which I’ve tried to say before, as an Italian-American, sometimes I get the feeling you don’t understand that our American versions were born out of a “poverty” of ingredients. Italian immigrants to our country were trying their best to recreate what they cooked in Italy, but were very limited. There is a long tradition now in this country of Italian-American cooking. You can consider them a “dialect” of Italian cooking, as in Italy, regions have their own versions of the “same” recipe. Many of our home-grown versions are actually very good, but not “pure” Italian and shouldn’t be evaluated in comparison to traditional recipes.
I actually fell in love with italian food after making your recipes 😁
Now i want to go to Italy
Also about msg
Pecorino cheese actually contains natural msg so you don't need to use msg to have it in your food (not artificialy added)
Hey Vincenzo, just wanna say that I love your stuff, your recipes always make me and my family have a good night, but I do agree that the reaction videos do need some work. I do think that the memes can get stale, and that you put an air about yourself that does seem a tad mean. Still absolutely love your stuff, and I can’t wait to see your new stuff knowing what you know now!
Hi Vincenzo, pay no attention to the mean rude comments on Reddit. You are very helpful in my quest to make great Italian food! You're not boring, you definitely have a great sense of humor. Your real, handsome, and so cute I want to pinch your cheek! Keep doing what your doing, you're great.
let's just say they're missing out on some primo pasta! Your support means the world to me, and I'm here to keep dishing out deliciousness and spreading the love Italian cuisine.
Keep on a good work, Vincenzo! Please don't change anything. You have more than a million subscribers and that speaks volumes.
I'm pretty sure that the lovers far outnumber the haters. Don't bother with changing anything. We all love what you're doing and it was lovely to get a bit of a history on your life as well!
I’m not a chef or cook either but thanks to your videos Vincenzo, my Italian cuisine has improved 100%. I also love Eva and Harper and their recipes. Some folks just want attention. Ignore them and carry on doing what you do 😊
I don't know how long I have been watching your videos.... I love them.
As soon as I have a kitchen I will try to cook like you so.
By the way what ist "Reddit"?
Thank you very much, Vincenzo, for sharing your video with us.
Why are you explaining yourself?!? You are obviously doing a good job with your channel. I find your recipes quite good! If I have to admit your videos helped me out during my wife's labour 😂 The first thing I cooked when we came back home from the hospital was one of your pasta dishes! 😊
Thank you vincenzo. You are the best. Thanks for teaching me to cook fabulous Italian food. You are so special. I am grateful for your program. Love your food you teach. So proud of you. Love your. Beautiful family too. Thanks
Dont worry about the haters Vincenzo. I really enjoy the channel. My wife said to me "you have been cooking heaps good stuff lately". Its all of the stuff Ive been cooking from Vincenzo's Plate. Carbonara, Bolognese (from David's recipe video I think) and the eggplant parmigiana. Also learning how to pick the good pasts, EVOO and canned tomatoes has been useful. Keep it up.
I wouldn’t worry about those negative reviews. I enjoy your videos and I made some of the most authentic Italian dishes watching you so thank you and keep up the good work
I enjoy your videos, Vincenzo, and I have used many of your recipes successfully. Keep up the good work.
We love you Vincenzo! Great channel and great, respectful and funny videos. Nothing bad about your channel. Don't even read those comments. ❤
And.... I should add. You are the one who teach me how to make Carbonara and not being intimidated.... I have learned so much from you. Much more than from any of my fancy Italian cookbooks. Thank You 🙏🏼
That took a lot of guts. It is very hard to read out personal criticisms. You’ve never met these people. You’re reading them out to an audience. I honestly think it’s better for your mental health to avoid haters. Stay away from Reddit and other toxic spaces. Having said that, it does not matter whether the RUclips comments are nice / nasty. They all tell RUclips that there is a lot of engagement on your channel.
I have always enjoyed your channel, and you! The fact that you are willing to address your critics speaks volumes about your character. I like your recipes, your instruction, and the way you conduct yourself when reviewing recipes. Thank you!
I always make sure to have an open mind and listen to criticism professionally. This will also help me on how I can improve my works. Your support means a lot. I'm glad you enjoy my channel and recipes. Let's keep cooking together!
