You make this look so good -- you always do this. I'm going to have to try it.

O that looks so good. I can imagine the flavour.
The guanciale fat cap and seasoned trimmings I'd render down and use for stock or a soup.

Love Gordon's and Kiki's captions. It's nice to see them getting involved 😻😸

Another great recipe for me to save.

Cheers Daniella 👍🤤😀

Brilliant production of this recipe, as well as the video. Tell Mr. Cameraman I said that please? Great looking dish, always appreciate your knowledge! Is that a carbon steel pan? It is about all I ever use!
