- This video was made possible with the support of Shanxi Xing Hua Cun and the Kempinski Hotel Taiyuan. Filmed and edited by Graeme Kennedy (@GraemeDYK).
I took three outstanding Italian chefs, all based in Asia, to China's most famous province for noodles to have a look and to learn. In this final episode, Riccardo La Perna (formerly of 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo, Shanghai and Macau), Paolo Vitaletti (from Appia, Bangkok) and Marino D'Antonio (formerly of Giada Garden, Beijing) visit a vocational school in Shanxi province to watch a noodle demonstration and to cook for the students themselves.

I really love the line "humanity invented the noodle", and how it is exemplified throughout the series as the two cultures find similarity and connect through the common food of noodles, and especially how the Italian chefs are eager to try the different cooking styles in their kitchens. I think this is such a great series and I love the chefs featured.
Als so many combo's of cultures left te explore. Would love to see more!
是中国人发明😅
YES Loved this so much
Yes first the Noodles were invented by Chinese.
well naturally you gotta bring some chinese noodle masters to italy now and have them visit these chefs in their kitchens
These 3 specific Chef's are all from China/Surrounding areas lol, but I feel you, I bet they would make excellent tour guides for an Italian exchange!
@@PeteHoofin ah you're right i forgot they mentioned that in part 1 these chefs all work in asia
I'm so glad the Italian chefs cooked for the students. I would love to hear more on the students thoughts watching the Italians chefs.
Astonishing! This is better than any celebrity random food show. It's clearly for the love of food and culture, and NOT for the sake of making content. It shows. Never stop.
Thank you so much for making this series! I cried towards the end when I watched it. My family is from Shanxi and I lived a few years of my childhood in Shanxi. I lived with my aunt and she made the best noodles! My aunt took care of me when I was a kid as if I was her own and showed me unconditional love. I quite literally called her my "second mother". She unfortunately passed away from breast cancer and I can never eat her noodles again. Since then, I have tried quite a few times to make the three-layer noodles (which in Chinese doesn't really mean three layered) but have never been successful. I could never figure out why or find the right mixture of flours. After watching your videos, I can finally attempt the noodles again (and hopefully succeed this time)! My love for my aunt lives on through my love for noodles. Thank you once again for highlighting Shanxi and the great noodle culture there!
It's not even important if you succeed, or your efforts are as good as your aunts ( they never will 😊). It's the memory of the person that is important.
There's a soup my Czech grandmother made, which I don't even attempt, but every time my goose comes perfectly roasted out of the oven, because I do as she taught me, I'm happy and I remember. ❤
抱抱你！希望你成功呀！
哟，山西老哥
It’s so nice to see how curious both the Chinese students and the Italian chefs are when they’re standing next to each other in the demonstrations! You can tell when they’re talking or even if it’s just silence, everyone is so happy to be standing there close to each other, watching! And they’re all watching so intently :,) the cultural exchange and the eagerness to learn is so palpable in this video it’s really so beautiful. Such a wonderful atmosphere captured!!
"They clicked because they're humans" - very true, a wholesome video that shows how culinary arts connect people from different cultural backgrounds together
Awhh I'm sad to see the series end. This was incredibly well researched and produced!!!
Don't worry! We have some fun videos coming up! stay tuned!
I'm not ready for this series to be over! This is just scratching the surface... Encore! 🎉
something tells me they're just getting started...
More to come! We have a lot more stories in the pipeline!
@@GraemeDYK looking forward to what's to come! 🍜
This series is truly a hidden gem.. got bored of youtube recently till i found this..
Food brings people in harmony and unity together 😊
you literally deserve all of the hype. the amount of work you've put into this series is incredible- the concept, the nuance of historical context, the production - just bravo. also your Chinese is wicked good lol.
_"Why no pizza?"_ Oh, please, _please,_ let this be a follow-up series!!!
This cultural exchange of ideas was a true delight to watch! A pizza mash-up would be just awesome!
Dude I can’t give you enough flowers. Just A+ all around. The editing, the idea, just you being you. Some of the best, wholesome, technical, and story telling content on youtube. Its an honor to watch your videos 🙏
Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot 🙏
BEAUTIFUL SERIES!
Thank you so much for this series not only combining two great culinary traditions but also the humanity and respect in spite of all the contention between people in the world lately. Hoping for more content from this channel! 👏 🍜🍝🍷
What a documentary. I didn't know this channel before, and I really want to see more of it now.
The quality of interactions, the commentary, the narrative progression from part 1 to 3 : you did an really good job of taking us with you in this beautiful cultural exchange.
Thank you so much for putting such efforts in this. What a pleasure it was to watch it.
Je vous embrasse ! (An amateur cook, from Nantes, France)
This has been such a great series
really enjoyed this series! and great to see the chubby cheeked boy again! he is so lovely.
Hands down best series. Love the cultural exchange between the chefs
This is incredible. Culture is different but the same human beings working together.
This series is so wonderful, it is not only about noodles, but more importantly, about PEOPLE! I've had Shanxi noodles 2 times in the USAone in LA called Noodles Palace (i had roasted gradma/ kao lao lao), and another is in St. Louis called Corner 21 (knife shaved noodles). Both were cooked by local ShanXi people, probably from the noodle school in the video haha😄 it was sooooo good.
Great series.
What an amazing series. I genuinely loved every second of it. Thanks a lot for showcasing it, I specially love the phrase "Humanity invented the noodle."
A beautiful video. I used to eat hand pulled noodles and chive pocket every month back in China. Now I eat garlic eggplant pizza and seafood pasta every month. In noodle, we trust. It's amazing that Chinese and Italian cuisines share several similarities.
Lots of garlic in noodle dishes. Live long life.
Ramen～In noodle we trust
因为跟马可波罗和西方贸易商人以及传教士中国文化美食技术等传播到欧洲尤其是意大利。
Beautiful cultural exchange! The best form of diplomacy
I really hope this series never stops😌
This series has been sensational! Keep up the great work!!🙌
This made me emotional. Wonderful humanizing content. Keep it up!
Me too, such a lovely showcase of how humanity inspired each culture throughout the ages. I feel optimistic, weirdly enough.
Cheers !
This type of presentation really is remarkable, ground level information that continually pulls your interest in. Bravo.
Man I love this series. I would literally watch hours of it and smile all the way through. It's not only wholesome but also educational, showing the different cultures but also highlighting how similar they are in some ways
Always love your work, Chris! So glad to still have you around.
Amazing. This is what UA-cam should be used for! Thank you!
Glad you think so!
This series was such a breath of fresh air on youtube, thank you for what you’ve done
I look forward to whatever you create next!
amazing series, thank you all for making this!
glad you liked it!
Love the storytelling, the cultural exchange and the food.
Questa è una serie adorabile e mi è piaciuto ogni episodio.
Really well done with the whole series, folks. This was wonderful.
I love this series so much ❤
Thank you so much for the content, it’s great to see how chefs from the East and the West interact via their area of expertise.
And i love the line - humanity invented noodles. Who cares whether it was invented by the chinese or not
Just an amazing series. Love the insight the chefs give and the Chinese knowledge you give. The scenes of the Italian chefs cooking their dishes in the wok is such a good blend of both cultures.
Glad you're enjoying the series!
Such a great video. This kind of cultural exchange is necessary for China and Italy, and the rest of the world. We can learn from each other and improve our/their skill sets or even invent new things.
Even the technical skill in the writing and editing is so great
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO
Would have loved to hear the students or teacher's real reactions to the Italian dishes.
Another fantastic video. Keep going, it is so much enjoyment watching you productions and at the same time learn about the country, the food and the culture.
really enjoyed this series; thanks for all your hard work
Love the Noodle series, from a Shaanxi local, fantastico!🎉
Spectacular series. Beautifully done.
Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed it!
what a beautiful conclusion of the series! i love how the "humanity invented the noodle" line connects all the knowledge we gathered throughout this journey! it's been so long since i have been invested in a youtube series. i'm excited to see what story you will bring next!
thank you so much!
Reuniting the world, doing gods work, well done!
Fantastically awesome series!
Amazing series, thank you so much for this journey!
This was a cool window thanks.
Bravo! More of this, please!
I wish they could have done a short interview with the kids and asked them questions about how they liked the pasta and did anything stand out about it in particular, would they prefer making pasta or chinese noodles etc etc.
哦这些孩子大部分应该都是山西人😂所以我猜他们绝对会选择山西的面条，那是他们的灵魂。中国的老一辈人不太习惯意面的口感和做法，年轻一代的接受度会高一些。中国人对意面的了解并不多，我猜很多人第一次接触意面应该是在必胜客。中国人喜欢意面吗？是的。但家乡的味道永远是最好的❤
大多数中国人了解的意面都是细长滚圆型的或者螺旋型的，对于酱料也只了解番茄肉酱。很难说我们喜不喜欢pasta，因为大多数人对pasta没有一个较完整的认知，不过在欧洲所有国家中我们确实最喜欢意大利和西班牙菜
得了吧，意大利面难吃还有我们是发明面食还有是美食之国，拥有丰富多样琳琅满目的美食每个省县市都有自己地方特色。😅
Just popped in to say. I love this! Also, your music choices are perfect.
thanks! glad you like the music
I have loved this series, it must have taken a huge amount of planning, but this really reinforced the message of how food and cooking crossed borders and brings us together, the chefs both Italian and Chinese curiousity was really lovely. No pizzaaaah? Haha 😆
I couldn't resist putting those soundbites in as much as possible.
Im gonna miss this series - this was great.
Beautiful production in every way. What’s next?
Absolutely mesmerizing to watch as a Chinese, I have no doubt it would be an experience for everyone there to remember for life.
Greeting from a Taiyuaner living in Europe! Cheers and keep the good job going on!❤
Great Series , More Please. 🙏🙏
INCREADIBLE SERIES
OMG I love this video so much - humanity invented the noodle and it belongs to all of us. Love it so much. Thank you so much.
This school is amazing!
I would love to be a fly on the wall when the italian chefs made their food for the chinese students. Must have been so interesting to see.
Just the fact that new dishes and recipes will come out of this exchange is already great🎉
I wanna see the chefs make the noodle Pizza 🍕😋 🍜
This was a fantastic series! Please please please do more!
YES PLEASE Do More. Getting me craving noodles everyday in all forms.
We absolutely will! we have some exciting projects we can't wait to show you guys!
Fabulous series!! Love the work!
This series is amazing
This is so beautiful! really bring me to tears. ❤💯
Dang this is so cool, thanks for doing it I’m sure the students and the Italians both loved it.
One of the best cooking series i've seen in a while now
We appreciate it! We love making this stuff for you guys!
Oh my love for this meeting of culinary traditions:) Love love love
This is a really great video!! Thank you
I love watching the chinese kids eating pasta with chopsticks xD
Great to see the collaboration.
Fantastic series!
Are dumplings next?
Dumplings!!!!!!! Yes.
Maybe! 😉 Stay tuned!
Love this mini series
Those students are the future of cooking. Makes me so happy to see the masters showing them. I hope we can someday have programs like that here in America with such care to students future careers and lives.
Watching chefs share their cooking secrets fills me with a sense of warmth.
as an Italian, I am so proud of this chefs and their openmind. (which is many times hard to find in Italy due to it's heritage about pasta)
This series was amazing and next you have to bring some Chinese Master in Italy!
In case you pass by Naples I can help arrange meetings etc.
One of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever watched. Seeing all the kids’ faces light up when they tried different noodles made me tear up a little bit
This was a beautiful series to experience. I love your videography and editing. Thank you !
Thank you May! I appreciate it, these are delicious videos to shoot - I'm glad you enjoy them!
This series has been a real banger.
What a wonderful series! Thank you for such awesome content!
Such a great series! Thank you
Beautiful piece of work
amazing video and thank you for covering shanxi!
Amazing series!
appreciate the crew bringing us these discoveries from overseas
It's very beautiful to watch these kids gathering around the italian chefs. We have to fight for a world where every kid has this level opportunity: culinary, arts, science, sports, etc.
This was so beautiful! Thank you so much. I cant wait to visit Shanxi!
Thanks for posting. Really enjoy watching this series.
Wonderful series!
Love this series
Would love to see a followup video with the Italian chefs to see if/how they integrated what they learned from the Chinese noodle masters into their own cooking
Brilliant and beautiful!
Finally!! Thanks for uploading!!
What a great series, amazing!
This was an awesome video to watch! Loved it
