Jamie Oliver and Gennaro Contaldo's father.

A look back at some of the great recipes that featured in one of Jamie's favourite series. Jamie's Great Italian Escape first aired in the UK on C4 in 2005

All the food made in this video was shared out and eaten among the very lucky crew. Nothing goes to waste.

Aww dude, Jamie was about to cry you can tell, I feel so bad, but I think they felt the love.

[serkancelik]

i could feel his pain when the pasta overcooked. despite of that he wanted it perfect, he did not throw the pasta away. he shows us that everyone can make a mistake

[naw]

This is why I love Jamie and understand his cooking. I was never taught how to cook per say, I watched my mother, my grandmother, my step mother and her mother cook and today I can cook for 20 people easy, because it comes from the heart. It comes a place of such honesty and each time I cook I feel completely relaxed:) We are a family of avid and passionate eaters and cookers, probably why I cook never really be "in shape" all my life and have curves! O well

I Think Italians are very friendly people. I would  Love to visit Italy in the future. :)

1:41 when you're so nervous trying to make a good impression on your in laws that you accidentally start talking in German.
But truly very sweet how nervous Jamie got and how friendly Gennaro's family was.

Seeing a great cook like Jamie be so nervous gives me a little boost in confidence. Thanks again Jaime for inspiring more people to embrace the beauty in cooking for others!

[mscstandre]

Aww I felt for Jamie when he thought the pasta didn't turn out. The food looked fantastic and Gennaro's dad is so sweet :)

This reminds me of the first time i cooked for my beautiful girlfriends family i was second guessing everything, i was so nervous.
I made my version of a traditional Dublin dish called coddle( a stew with sausage and rasher bacon) it was her family's 1st time eating boiled sausage and they loved it.
I still get this nervousness and eagerness to impress every time i cook for someone new.

Che carino Jamie quando parla italiano ! Quando è andato in crisi per la pasta t'avrei abbracciato

[alpinfernanda]

literately felt his pain here....can cook a dish a million times and it be perfect but as soon as you try and cook it for a first date or for meeting your in laws or something it mucks up. lol. looks like he was worrying over nothing though. food looked great and granddad loved it.
