    People need to keep in mind that when Marcella Hazan wrote her cookbook, guanciale was not really available in the US. Even finding pancetta was tricky outside of areas where lots of Italian Americans live. To me, the only thing odd about the recipe is the white wine. I also only use pecorino, no parmesan.

      I think that part of the issue is the focus of what they were doing.
      Julia did not claim to be representative of all French food. Especially if you watch her first TV show, it is quite clear that her cooking was for Entertaining-With-A-Capital-E. The food of formal French training for professional chefs, to be emulated in an American home with access to the typical grocery options of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The food the Kennedys made popular by serving it in the White House.
      It's food to be prepared by a stay-at-home suburban housewife, for formal dinners with invited guests, or when your husband shows up after work with dinner guests and no warning, and various scenarios in-between. Look at how often Julia mentions the cook's guests, and different types of guests. The Important guests, the guests at a dinner party for friends, the guests you might invite into your kitchen to show off a particularly dramatic technique for finishing a dish.
      "My French grandmother didn't cook this way at home for family meals" is a statement Julia would largely agree with.
      Marcella's book is less focused. Some recipes are for entertaining, some are casual, often it is the case that it is home cooking with both regional variations and lots of unique family recipes for the same dish. She'd pick her favorite, or one that was appropriate to make in a US kitchen of the time. The broader focus makes it hard to define authenticity. Is it the way it is made in a particular region? The way she learned in her family? The way it has been adapted by ethnic Italians in the US, sometimes several generations removed from Italy?
      Writing about home cooking is far more of a minefield than writing about the upper-class food created by professionally trained chefs. There is much more emotional connection to the recipes on the part of a reader of the cookbook when you're writing about a dish their grandmother made in a somewhat different way.

      @@antichef Perhaps your thinking is off-the mark. Have you been to the many, varied regions of Italy? I've been fortunate to have done so, after marrying a gal born in the northeast corner of Campania just a stone's throw from both Puglia and Molise. Cooking in Italy is micro-regional: each town, city and regions utilizes different ingredients in varied ways depending upon what is available locally and the traditions that developed. Just as every town has its own dialect, each has a different way of cooking. Marcella Hazan is not an authority on Roman cooking. She was born in Cesenatico, a small coastal town in Emilia-Romagna, and while she studied academics in Padua and Ferrara, she NEVER cooked while she was in Italy nor paid much attention to how others cooked. Instead, she married and moved to NYC and improvised based on what she remembered tasting growing up, and while Padua and Ferrara are both great food cities (and quite different from each other), she has often acknowledged her own creations were not authentic, saying. "Eventually I learned that some of the methods I adopted were idiosyncratically my own."
      That doesn't make her food something less than delicious, but it does mean she is not a go-to source for authenticity, especially from regions in which she never lived, which is frankly, most of Italy. She did do some research on what other wrote about food of various regions but her research was far from exhaustive or persuasive.
      Again, that doesn't mean the dishes she created weren't wonderful. But if you use her as a guide to what is authentic, you should expect many Italians to correct you.
      As for your carbonara, a few suggestions:
      -- Use a ratio of two or three egg yolks to one whole egg for the sauce, as the whites of the eggs contain a lot of moisture that leave the sauce too watery and not as unctuous.
      -- As much as I love fresh pasta and am spoiled with it from my Italian mother-in-law (who would have praised your pasta making), some sauces really depend on starch on the water to a great extent to thicken the sauce, and carbonara is one of them, as the fat in the sauce emulsifies with the starch in the cooking water. Fresh pasta cooks too quickly to leave much starch in the water, so for a carbonara, I'd suggest using a dried pasta.
      -- Guanciale is the pork of choice in Rome, it is fattier than pancetta, so creates a richer sauce and with some interesting flavor notes because it is often cured with a more complex rub than pancetta, but I think it's fun to vary which pork you use, as they are all good and different.
      -- Garlic and parsley are no-go zones for carbonara in Rome, but if you like it, it really doesn't matter. I cook often, and sometimes stick to an authentic approach, but am just as apt to try my own variations while keeping certain principles of Italian cooking in mind: Great ingredients, prepared simply and with proper techniques.

  • @cmtippens9209
    @cmtippens9209 Рік тому +190

    I'm not Italian, but from reading the comments on most of Jamie's videos, I have come to the conclusion that cooking cuisine that is rather specific to a particular country and publishing recipes for said cuisine is an invitation for vitriolic responses. "No, this or that ingredient is never used." "Your technique, utensil, pot, bowl, etc is all wrong." "You have to buy ingredients the way they USED to be made" "You have to be in front of the south-facing window to catch the pollen on the early morning breeze."
    It gets ridiculous, and I am guilty of those comments myself. We make something the way we were taught, assuming that it is the ONLY way. Come to find out, people adjust recipes to their own liking and make it their own. Most of the main ingredients are static, but the measurements and some "incidental" ingredients get replaced and others get added.
    Ask anyone in Texas how to make cornbread or even iced tea and you'll have an argument on your hands in about 30 seconds. 😅
    Same goes for "signature" dishes from any state, province, prefecture, county, parish, village, or region of any country in the world, I'm betting.
    To Jamie - Keep doing what you're doing. You're an inspiration for those of us who (1) can, but don't want to cook anymore, (2) want to learn, but have been scared of messing up, (3) have tried, but need a little more encouragement and helpful examples mixed with a lot of humor. You show us how it can go wrong and that you can recover or restart, if need be. Bless you! 😊

      @bekindfox Рік тому +8

      The point is that in my opinion the Italian cuisine is one of the most "kidnapped" ones in the world, so we Italians are a bit sensitive with what is done to our recipes. Jamie is doing a great job, but unfortunately Marcella may have been in the US for too long and forgot the original recipes. Wine, garlic, pancetta and parsil are NOT part of the original recipe.
      Of course everybody can do it the way they want, but then they shouldn't call it "Carbonara", but pasta with pancetta and eggs. And if someone sells a recipe book and states that this is the original recipe because they were born in Italy, it is just upsetting for us who know.

    Carbonara will get more complaints than a lot of recipes for not doing it "the right way," but the basic idea is so sound it can handle variations.

    It was because of another Marcella recipe you did (the chicken w the lemons in it) that encouraged me to try it. Hubs and I both agree it’s the best chicken I’ve ever made (and so crazy easy!). Thank u for these videos. And yes, as a huge fan of the British bake off, I have been yelling baking advice at you when you did those cakes. 😹

    'I'm getting better and better' he says, humbly. Better and better?! there are top class chefs who would employ you in a heartbeat! edit to specify: i've watched top chefs in the UK (Rose Gray, Theo Randall, Angela Hartnett - and others who have no real Italian cuisine background) and until I saw you make pasta I'd never been able to manage it perfectly. Now I can.

    OMFG!!! This is hands down / far and away -> the greatest dish I have ever seen you make. I have been watching you for years, and if I ever got invited to have dinner cooked by you - there wouldn’t be a moment’s hesitation -> I would choose this every day!!!
    I do like to cook, but I am just not able to do so a lot of the time these days. Next time I have a really great, energetic, and pain-free day - I will 100% be trying this recipe out!!!
    Thanks for all of your videos and everything else… you make my days far better than they would otherwise be.
    All my best to you and yours!!!

    Little tip for plating, grab the pasta with tongs and rotate the plate as you let the pasta down onto it. You get your desired look without having to twirl the pasta around.

    I love carbonara, it's one of my top 5 pasta dishes. I usually make it with pancetta too, because guanciale is hella expensive over here. Heck in my student days I even just used regular bacon, just to keep the price down (imagine living in student housing and having to cook something quick, easy and delicious for a whole floor).
    I used to work in a restaurant in the Netherlands that was certified as authentic by l'Academia della Cuccina d'Italiana and honestly, the weekly bill for authentically sourced ingredients might have contributed to it going out of business.

    Here’s a longtime fan and Canadian weighing in on Thanksgiving. Looks fantastic! I’ve gotten more adventurous with my cooking after watching you - made a turkey roulade instead of a whole turkey - first time - was ok. Did a cornbread stuffing with red chilies 🌶️. Have you ever tried turkey roulade? Would love to see what you’d do. Keep going, Jamie!

    I think it's good to understand that dried pasta is a separate product from fresh egg pasta. For example, Bolognese is traditionally served with fresh papardelle pasta, Alfredo with fresh linguine. Carbonara is always made with dried pasta if you want to make the real thing. You can't make dried pasta at home, but you can learn about the different grades of dried pasta on the market and buy good stuff. De Cecco is a good brand to start with because it has the qualities of artisanal pasta at a good price point.
    TL;DR fresh and dried pasta are not interchangeable, and fresh is not better than dried. They have different flavors and textures, and recipes may require one or the other.

    Used to make carbonara the very non traditional German (or at least the way my Oma made it) way with milk/cream. But once I tried it the traditional method I couldn't turn back. I still like how hearty cream is but admitting to myself that they are two very different dishes was a good thing in my life..
