He's a master. The only one who can smell carrots and say "Oh my God"! That's one of the reasons i love Gennaro. He lives the food elements to the fullest appreciating even the smell and taste of the simplest ingredients.
He's one in the billion. Actuallt he is unique. I love and respect you Gennaro!

[charlesfazio]

The guy is a kick. You have to love him. He is happy to b alive and life is good. He spreads happiness and love. A great way to live. I especially enjoy the two greedy italian series. Bless you Genero. See you at mass.

[laken]

He is enjoying each of his senses while cooking. And bring joy to it.
Now understand why I love Italian people.

[dulcecorazonalegre]

i actually teared up a bit when he said its like you never left home.he was so sincere.haha

[miriamwahujones]

You always make me smile, Genaro. Your cooking is wonderful.

[priyengovender]

Theres nobody like Gennaro. What a legend. Boy do I miss him!

[marveltarnos]

The best lamb stew..now is my family signature stew. Any big festival family and friends will request for this dish. Thank you Genero 😘

[aymane]

I just made this dish. It is the best thing I've ever made! If you take a taste in every part of the cooking just as he does, you might feel the flavor he talks about. I fall in love with every part of the cooking. Quick tip : never cook while ure hungry, this way you lack focus and you're not gonna give the elements enough time to cook. Take it easy, maybe start cooking right away after the breakfast.

[offiziellerkanalvondoggen-]

So much passion in his cooking, it’s like a drama show

[adityamenon]

I LOVE Gennaro's showmanship! Plus this one's so easy I can actually do it at home...

[ThePianoRemembers]

"about a glass of wine" pours a third of a bottle into the pot xD genius!

[christiandarrall]

I love Italians, they are so passionate

[doctorhunger]

You can tell this is an authentic Italian dish by the way he moves his hands

[tazbegum]

[dominix]

Gennaro reminds me of my grandfather. Even kinda looks the same. What passion!

[GeorgAyres]

I'm not particularly crazy about lamb, but I come here just to see Gennaro cooking. Such an amazing person, the passion and enthusiasm he has for food is incredibly inspiring. A rare human being. Made my day.
