I went to Jamies Italian in Birmingham today, how wonderful was it that Gennaro came to our table and wished my Daughter a Happy 21st Birthday and sat and chatted to us all.He is such a lovely friendly man indeed ! Thank you Gennaro, you made my Daughters Birthday .

Gennaro is the uncle we all wish we had. Jamie is blessed to have had him as a mentor. You guys always make me smile.

Im such a huge fan, after becoming paralyzed from my stroke I dedicated my life to learning more about cooking and now that i can walk . I love my cooking

Dough ingredients: 500 grams strong flour, 1 packet (7g yeast), 325ml tepid water, "pinch" of salt, olive oil. A bit of polenta on the tray, and whatever you want on the focaccia. ...I actually prefer Gennaro's basil-tomato version :)

I've made it, with tomato fresh oregano, Feta cheese and some olives ! It was absolutely amazing!

[MrEricturney]

Gennaro is definitely my favorite on passion is second to none!

Married into a mostly Italian family, and we all love our focaccia. Special trips down to San Francisco usually involve stopping at Laguaria in North Beach, SF's version of "Little Italy". Never thought of doing it myself, but I think I know what I will be surprising her with in the near future. I'm thinking oven roasted garlic, cherry tomato, and local mushrooms, with a bit of gorgonzola and shredded basil. Gennaro is a treasure, how fortunate to have him as mentor and friend. Thanks Mr. Oliver and co!

My daughter and I made this today. I've made a bit of bread in the past, but a fair while ago. But it was my daughter's first time (she's 12). We did potato and rosemary. It worked SO WELL. I love your tip about crushing up little boiled spuds. And the tip about rubbing your herbs in oil before putting them on top is a great tip too. Thx so much for your unending generosity in sharing great cooking recipes with us all, inspiring us to cook for ourselves and eat better. We will be making this a lot more! Shalom.

I LOVE Gennaro! I'm so jealous of you Jamie because you are very lucky to have had such a great mentor.

[draglin]

gennaro is entertaining to watch he's so passionate

[lausianne]

I love it when cooks don't only show what and how, but also explain why. Well done here.

[fadlicuy]

I love Gennaro. he looks badass with suit and chain necklace. like an Italian mafia who work as a chef as his side job.

[intrigued]

Love Gennaros cooking and his details. Hope he is doing well and safe!

[alliemollie]

Love seeing Gennaro and Jamie together! Match made in food heaven! ☺️😂

[SmilyLily]

I love Gennaros version.
Tomatoes and Basil is a combination made in heaven.
I might try this soon, just waiting until we have our own basil in our garden (I am obsessed with herbs so we often have 3-5 different kinds of basil).
Maybe break up some freash mozzarella and put it in with the tomatoes and basil and become gooey...
I need this! 😁

[anjanettehernandez]

I am making this recipe again today, but this time I added rosemary and thyme after hitting it with some olive oil. I used cherry tomatoes and a bit of gruyere cheese shaved with a potato peeler. I can't wait to try it with my son's pasta dish tonight!!!

[justaguyonyt]

Gennaro is like the italian grandfather I never had

[tagau]

This is a recipe I keep coming back to year after year. I love flavouring mine with either garlic and rosemary or olives. Always turns out perfectly! Thank you Jamie & Gennaro - legends both of you 😘

[saeedal-harmoudi]

It's so good when a mentor and his protégé go all the way, they are a perfect pair
