I enjoy Tara’s honest comments/scoring and Jim’s enthusiastic acceptance for improvement.

The reason I am subscribing today is because your taste tester was honest and not like so many that taste test and say "oh you've got to try this is the best thing ever". She still made me want to make the dish but her honest assessment was so refreshing... AND the fact that you were humble in her assessment made me like you even more. On the cooking end... you were prepared, concise and educational. A please to watch!

Tara's mic makes her sound like she's doing an NPR show, and I love it. I love this channel as well, and is one of my favorite cooking shows ever.

[KoniB.]

You two rock this channel, teach like nobody's business and the love that this family has for each other is palpable through the lens.

[jingcc]

I enjoy seeing Tara and value her critique. 👏🏽 Jim your recipes and videos are super helpful! You’re my go-to for American Italian cooking! And most of all my family enjoys whatever I make from your collection! 👏🏽

[GrandmatoRVSGCM]

I use my own stock! Super easy to make and I know what’s in it! We rarely eat out because my husband says my food is far superior to dining out. I attribute my amazing food to people like you! Literally anyone can be self taught to be a good cook by watching people like you! So from me and my family, THANK YOU!

[Roundbrow]

It is amazing what wine can do to a recipe. Just adds that perfect touch for sure. Excited to try this one Jim, and thanks for the little trip to the garden and back!

I made a big pot of this recently and then my husband and I had it for 3 nights over the course of the week. First night was with pappardelle, second night on mashed potatoes and the third on brown rice. It was absolutely delicious. Thank you for posting it. All the best from Ontario, Canada.

[SFsuperforte]

I really appreciate this channel. Not only is the quality exceptional but it feels way more real than almost any other channel.

[PattiWinker]

I love how you take us through the cooking process, noting how to tweak the methods and ingredients as you go along. I think cooking strictly by most recipe instructions can frustrate beginners to no end! Your videos give cooks not only delicious dishes, but so much useful basic knowledge and tips. Save the pasta water. Take the pan off the heat, splash in a little water. After deglazing the pan, taste the sauce to make sure it doesn’t taste burned before adding ingredients back in. Even shopping tips! And my favorite is how people complain their homemade NYC Deli salads don’t taste the same, but they don’t add the sugar or refrigerate it overnight! 🤣 I love how you call them out on this nonsense. 👍 I’m 70 and have been cooking my whole life, but I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Oh, and your adorable “Taste Tester”! And Tara! ❤❤ Keep up the good work! 🤗

[bdallas]

You are a great teacher. And I am watching all the time and I make my own homemade stock. I’m 51 years old and have cooked my whole life professionally and at home. And I love your videos.

Tara's so nice. And so serious about her preferences. I respect her comments. Jim....you've got a tough job! But you do so well, regardless. Love your channel! Thank you so much. – Marilyn

[joeyhardin]

Thank you. I love chicken and pasta. Even Southern Fried with a side of spaghetti and marinara with a tossed salad. That could just b a southern thing. God Bless and stay safe.

HOLY SMOKES! I made this last night and was blown away.
I used a combo of pasta water and chicken stock to thin the sauce just a bit prior to adding the pasta at the end.
It's for sure been added to an ever growing rotation of recipes from this channel.

[chrisann]

I love Tara’s honesty and all the little tips you give along the way you have become my favorite cooking channel and you will hit a million I have said it before let’s hope we do it before the new year

[lauriemcmeekin]

Tara is so lovingly honest with her comments, which Jim accepts most graciously. Love this recipe. Will try it soon 🤤

[SLICK-GLN]

Looks good.I agree with what Tara said about the extra ingredients .Rock on!

[skyhawk_]

This Cacciatore version reminds me of how my mom used to make it. Definitely going to try this recipe!

[Eszoable]

I was not prepared for Tara's voice coming in so close, such a rich sound. Fitting to an equally rich dish, this looks amazing. Certainly going to cook it soon.

[NefariousMinded]

I love your wife’s honesty. Honestly is the best path to finding the best tasting foods
