Enjoy your content alot!! Will always remember your carbonara recipe! Just a shame that it's hard to get pig cheek here! But it's a beautiful recipe :)
Maybe you should have studied the original video before making this reaction, this is clearly sponsored by knorr and you know that by now surely. And you said on your risotto video that any stock is ok, but because a Michelin star chef has used any stock now it’s a car crash? Love your content but the way you try to big brother Michelin star chefs on Italian cuisine is ridiculous.
Also, the man is cooking for the masses, not a 3 star michelen restaurant. He's dumming it down quite a bit. Just remember, this is the guy that would walk out of the kitchen and throw people out of his restaurant for asking to have something omitted from his recipe.😂
“iN iTalY yOu dO nOt uSe cHickEn hAve nOthInG tO dO WiTh tHiS rEciPe” well the purpose of Marco’s video is to teach homemade chefs how to cook if they don’t have any ingredients available or are limited.. i don’t see why you’re hating.. everything doesn’t have to be your way..
His Knorr videos are easy to pick apart. Marco is making cooking relatable to people who are scared to try these things and don't have access to top end ingredients. I know he is endorsed but those stock pots/cubes are actually really good for what they are.
I actually found his Knorr series very helpful... he actually gives a lot of great tips for home cooks in those videos... I also found it helpful that he pointed out which things you can take liberty with, so you don't feel like you screwed up a meal if you didn't follow the recipe religiously. People joked about those videos, but indeed as you said, he made it relatable and shared a lot of skills that anyone watching for learning purposes can pick up easily.
I am of "two minds" when it comes to Marco's videos. I have no doubt that what he creates tastes damned good. He didn't get those Michelin stars by making dog food. I think that I (and many other) erred in expecting a Michelin star chef here when he has chosen to morph into a very knowledgeable home cook... (unusual, to say the least!). He uses ingredients and techniques that are not beyond the means of the normally, slightly inept household cook. He does , occasionally, do things that would have the old nonnas in fits. Not my favorite chef/cook but would that I had his skill and knowledge!
@@stephengardiner9867I had dinner cooked by him, it was honestly some of the best food I have ever had in my life and it wasn't biased because I didn't know who he was at the time. Definitely a great Chef. 🧑🍳
@@johnnopeyy4129 I never stated that he was not a top chef. He does tend to go off the rails a bit when cooking classic Italian dishes though which is ironic considering his heritage. Often what he creates is INSPIRED by the original classics but uses ingredients and/or processes that many Italians would say disqualifies it as a rendition of the classic original. Hell, I have no doubt that it tastes great but it has evolved into a different dish. So? Just say "this dish is inspired by such and such... and I think that it is excellent".

I don't recall Chef Pierre White stating that this was authentic. I play around with recipes all the time. I only get mad if the person claims authenticity and then it's not authentic.
The Knorr part was really the job he was paid to do, to basically incorporate Knorr in every popular meal, and although people turned it into a joke, he actually incorporated it where it fits and where it would be convenient for a home cook to use when in a hurry... other than that, his videos were amazing for anyone who wanted to learn, not because of the recipes, but because of all the tips he kept giving on every aspect of cooking.. even more, I liked it when he pointed out which parts of the recipe aren't set in stone and that you can take liberty with...
He was the youngest chef to ever win 3 Michelin Stars. He taught Gordon Ramsey and Heston Blumenthal among others Michelin starred chefs. He is considered the Godfather of modern British cuisine.
I have to defend Marco here, because I adore him, his philosophy and he taught me many things about how cooking works. I never sat and followed his recipes of course, because the point of his videos is to give some people that cant cook an idea of how to do it. He definitely knows how to put butter and parmigiano at the end, they just didnt show it like other risotto videos... It's just about him talking and promoting Knorr. If someone wants to really learn from him, he has some other good videos.
His show was sponsored by Knorr thus he uses it for everything. He probably brushed his teeth with the stuff. Now, call me crazy but when I soak dried porcini mushrooms I save the water, freeze it. When I have several containers, thaw and then reduce to a nice mushroom stock to use in porcini risotto. Imagine! Using porcini stock in porcini mushroom risotto! Oh my!!
I dont know if this is sponsored or not...but be very interesting to see the difference between this and what would come out if he was cooking at michelen star resto. I Love a good demi glace, but im never going to pay 200$ for ingredients and take two days to make one. I'll buy the knorr pre-made.
Vincenzo is awesome. But here's an idea for rehydrating mushrooms. Try using wine, or even porcini stock to rehydrate them. Since they're soaking up liquid, it might as well be flavored liquid.🤐
@@Jessejrt1It's too easy to make your own fresh stocks at home. I flat out refuse to buy factory made stocks. Just doesn't have the same flavor or richness of homemade. BTW, he was sponsored by Knorr. in youtube, type in 'pierre white knorr' and you'll see what I mean. It's kind of disturbing.
Hold up here Vincenzo! You said 2 years ago in your mushroom risotto video that you recommend vegetable stock, but you said and I quote "you can use any stock you like". I'm confused and would like an explanation, because I have been using chicken stock in all the risottos I've made since.
It's called being a hypocrite. It's not the first nor will it be the last time he criticizes someone for something he's done. These videos get him views and engagement
@@ericeandco Well, I understand that, but what I want know is did he not believe that at the time of his original video and has changed his mind? Or is he just exaggerating his feelings about it now? Because my family and I have enjoyed every risotto i've made with chicken stock, even if it was mushroom risotto. So my question is, how important is it really?
Even though it's just $2, I'm a little disappointed with no response for a super thanks. My question is genuine, I'm not trying to call you out or troll you.
A lot of people as usual on criticising MPW's use and promotion of a certain product. Why shouldn't he? He was a successful highly-decorated chef and he currently speaks a lot of sense about the value of people including Vincenzo encouraging more people to eat better by cooking for themselves and using better products.
I also do not buy the idea that home cooks can't use correct technique because of "waves hands." Add Marco is not a home cook but he's using his Michelin stars and TV notoriety to push weak technique. Why? I think it might be because he does not respect home cooks.
When I do a pumpkin risotto, I start with onion and dried porcini that have soaked in water for a while then add that water to the risotto to give it that nutty flavour that dried porcini brings. And lots of grated pecorino at the end.
In my culinary journey i have always strived to learn the “ authentic” way first. But as a simple homecook i actually go with “what tastes good?” And that is the most important thing.
The best mushroom risotto I do is a slight variation of yours. I use dried high quality mushroom mix, heat it with water to reconstitute it, I use the brown water that dissolves as stock. Unbelievable taste. I also used Baldo rice and it is very good.
Thanks Vincenzo! I’ve cooked nearly all your recipes. All turned out great. Could you do a video on making a Risi e bisi? Also, what are your thoughts on good quality coloured pastas? Thanks for all your hard work and good positive message around traditional cooking
@@vincenzosplate , sure I agree, but how many such good brands showcase their stuff to an international audience? I think as viewer it is also hard to know the real story behind the brands. Some clothes are made in Italy but made by Chinese workers in factories on Italy. Also alot of Italian brands are not easily found abroad or found at a good price. Guancale in Sweden costs around 40-50 USD/kg. Good pasta brands can be costly if you are a family of four or five. I do buy good brands but not all time. It's the same with cheese. I usually switch pecorino with local Swedish cheese as I find the taste better for Carbonara.
Your criticism would have much more credibility if you actually cooked the recipes and tried them rather than simply guessing that they're bad (at least in most cases).
MPW is a legend in cooking, the level of Sith Lord I might say. So you can always criticize a Sith Lord, but you better be Obi wan kenobi, I don’t think you are Vincenzo. On a serious note, pls refer MPW’s video below. It shows his versatility in cooking style. So Vincenzo, pls do not nit pick this video, everybody can cook with their own style. It only shows that you are jealous… ☺️ th-cam.com/video/TnasKUVdkh4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0gDRux6yV4uKXAfR.
@@vincenzosplate Dear Vincenzo, it may not make sense to you, because you don't make any money out of it. For him instead who makes a lot of money with those things, it makes a lot of sense ! Try to be realistic. People today for money also sell their souls. I think you should know that too.
@@beaudowns51let people be creative. I agree but you shouldn’t criticise one of the best chefs ever who’s tasted every combination there is. Sure if he used beef stock pot or something I wouldn’t try it lol but these people make me laugh
I'm thinking of trying to make a risotto with either a butternut squash or acorn squash from my garden at the end of the season. I'm interested in seeing if it works well or not. The idea of vegetable stock and fresh Italian parsley (all from the garden). What do you think? Any tips or something I should do? (I am going to be following your recipe for the base)
I remember seeing MPW do the Knorr jelly cube stock advert. It’s a short cut for the home cook especially those who aren’t confident cooks as it’s already done for them - I doubt he would do this in his restaurant 😂 Garlic, thyme and parsley is a good flavour combination for dishes 😏 UK - lots of types of mushroom are sold in supermarkets 👍
I was wondering, and I might be wrong. When I cook risotto, I tend to cook everything *but* the rice beforehand. In the same pot, of course, to keep the flavours there. I cook all my ingredients first and then add the rice and stock (slowly) until it gets to the right texture on the rice. Is this correct, or should I cook ingredients separately?
Cooking all the ingredients together in the same pot can indeed help infuse the flavors more deeply into the rice. It's a traditional method that many cooks use. However, some prefer to cook certain ingredients separately for precise control over their texture and flavor.
Vincenzo, I love your channel I love the fact that you have shown me how to cook Italian more authentically, but in Marcos defense, he was doing it that way for an advertisement for knorr. He does another video where it's done a lot more properly and better here th-cam.com/video/0lqo-ZGQBoA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=74tWwGPtrY8EWP9u
There’s nothing wrong with knorr or your favorite store bought brand of stock. Think the point was chicken stock would over power the fancy mushrooms. It was suggested to use vegetable stock or water.
I will violently defend Marco Pierre White. This dude was the first celebrity chef, and was the youngest to win 3 Michelin Stars. He also trained and mentored Gordon Ramsay and thousands of other chefs. His contribution to the culinary world is extraordinary, and he is one of the most respected chefs in history. These Knorr videos were aimed at ordinary people who worked 9-5 jobs, who never had money or time to make pretentious, gourmet food. I'm a huge fan of you, Vincenzo.....but Marco Pierre White is a better chef than most people will ever be, you included. You shouldn't critique these Knorr videos in the same way that you critique other videos. The context needs to be understood.
14:57 One thing I remember from my visit to Italy several years ago…we were on a bus tour. We stopped off somewhere in Campania and right on the side of the road was a vendor selling an infused chili oil that was thought to be an aphrodisiac.
I must admit when I make a mushroom risotto, in the past I too have used chicken stock (but at least I made my own), however, these days I use a combination of the water from the rehydration of funghi porcini which I always add plus bought mushroom stock. I never bother with veg stock. From my experience the use of the combination of these stocks works a treat. Also, I have only ever used arborio rice, I have never tried the other varieties, given they are quite a lot more expensive and to date I have been perfectly happy with the arborio rice. Maybe you could explain what the differences are to us. I too like thyme over parsley with my mushrooms but I would use butter to cook them not olive oil. I generally add the parsley to the risotto near the end of cooking as the flavour otherwise gets lost.
Vicenzo is wild for this one. These marco videos were designed for home cooks to cook easier. My man is a 3 star Michelin chef, he knows how to cook the real deal for the right context lol
The reason Marco says it is your kitchen, do what you like is because he realized Michelin stars use to dictated what he should be like and did something about it.
Oh man this had me laughing with all the times you said “what’s wrong with you?” Your reaction videos make my day hahaha, you need to see some of Gino D’acampo and his banter with Gordon Ramsay, the funny side of those two is always entertaining PS I made a risotto for the first time last month and omg… that is my newest comfort food 😋👍
Heyyyyy its Vincenzo. Here he is bashing a really really old video even though theres newer videos. And even after hes been told on other Marco videos its a sponsored video, yet again he goes and bashes more older sponsored videos And yet Vincenzo makes crybaby "look at what they say about me on reddit" videos which proves you can criticise but cant take criticism from comments made years ago...ironic now you criticise a really old marco video.
Vincenzo, these videos were made when Marco was sponsored by Knorr, he did this entirely for money. He can definitely make an amazing risotto but the knorr sponsorship was nothing but a cash grab.
Marco Pierre White is a legend. The knowledge he has from decades of experience , all of you the new chefs dont have it yet.Reach at his level and after dare to judge him. Disrespect is to give lessons to a person like Marco Pierre White. For those who dont know watch videos in youtube to see who is this unique chef.
In Marco’s defense, he had given up his Michelin stars at this point, and sworn off Michelin as a tire company. In videos like this one, he’s just making a version that the common home cook could make. The restaurant chef has to innovate to impress the customers. But cooking for yourself or your family doesn’t have all those requirements. He uses Knorr products because he loved using stock cubes, and Knorr found out about it and chose to sponsor him.
Marco used to have an advertising contract with a certain company. Every video that ended up on TV was basically an advert for that company's product. People have slagged him off for years because of this.
Caio Vincenzo. We love your videos and we follow a lot of your excellent recipes 🍝🥰 we would like to purchase your book (if it is out yet 🤷🏽♀️😂). Can’t find any links available to do so. Was wondering if there is/ will be somewhere we can buy it off of you directly maybe through the link on the shop? We are in Malta 🇲🇹Thank you and keep educating people. The world needs you 🤩
He’s not Michelin star anymore he gave them up! Very critical! Considering every time you get a friend to come to show you how to cook! Pizza, bolognaise etc
I agree that before you do your own version, learn to make the right one first- then you can sya you dont like it, or wanna change it. but for people making dish x and then changes things with it, dont say you didnt like dish x when you never made it as it was supposed to be.
Marco is using a recipe for home cooks to use who don't have the time or energy to make a michelin star level dish and Knorr is paying for these commercial videos so he has to use their product, which to be honest works great in all pastas, rice, soups, etc. There's nothing wrong with promoting a good product...Knorr is great and has been around for almost 2 centuries for a reason.
All the video proves is that White was doing this recipe as part of an advertising campaign for Knorr. He's also well known for pointing out that home cooking should be simple and tasty, which this is. Real truffles when you've come back from work??
Marco's credentials are a Master five star Michelin Chef. World renowned. What are YOUR credentials?...an amateur TH-cam content creator! Here in America we call people like you "Arm chair cooks." Marco chased perfection...you chase video click$. I subscribed to your channel many years ago, because you were amusing to watch. Today I unsubscribed!
Keep your eyes open at the supermarket, Tesco, Sainsburys, M&S, Ocado, Waitrose and probably Morrisons All have seasonal produce including wild mushroom. Some do bulk it with oyster and shiitake, but you will find chanterelles and girolles are available as well as maybe some others.
Now I'm going to sound crazy. But I think when someone learns to make a dish associated with a certain culture. While it is perfectly fine to make your own version. I do believe you should only do that after one has learned the basics. This is why I like channels like Vincenzo's as he will explain the traditional versions to you. As well as the technical and reasons for why some of these things are done. As I believe one shouldn't experiment until they have a suitable understanding of the basics. Else ways you get videos like Jamie Oliver making Ramen without using actual Ramen noodles.
MPW knowns food really well. These are basically Knorr commercials for the general public. Don't forget that this is aimed for the general public in the UK, where cooking is not exactly a national hobby. It also has to be considered that the general public doesn't like food which has no familiar favours in it, therefore you need to adjust it for that. It cannot be too expensive either, because the branding of the product would not be in line with the advertisement. Although Marco was the first celebrity chef, he's very different from the others. He worked for free in fine dining restaurants for about a year at the start of his career while he was extremely poor just to learn everything from food.
The mushrooms are the focus of the dish. I agree with Vincenzo, a good vegetable stock and parsley. When I make vegetable stock I like to use the off cuts of mushroom with the sofrito.
Vincenzo, per l'amor di Dio, This verson of marco, is not the guy who won 3 stars. And now, after he's been semi retired, He is sponsered by Knorr. so that whole 'stock pot' deal is because of them. If you saw any of his older deals, he would not have used any of this. Please don't get me wrong, I do agree with you on the recipies, but please don't judge his tallents on this Knorr bought stuff.
He should dehydrate dried mushrooms and use the water from that to infuse his risotto. be glad he didn’t use a stock pot, because he’s known for that sweet knorr money
I use chicken stock. the mushrooms I can get in the grocery store don't have an amazing flavor and the stock i make has a lot of vegetables, so it helps. I think it's fine to alter based on preference, but I'd probably be more careful about harder to get ingredients like wild mushrooms.
Be careful when you buy truffle oil, the cheap ones have no truffle in it whatsoever but a substance derived from oil, like diesel or gasoline and the taste is horrid.
@@vincenzosplate Neither am I, I do like truffles though but contrary to porcini, Ik can't pick them myself. But I thought it worthwhile to warn people against using the cheap stuff. It tastes like a used bicycle chain. 🙄
We can't get fresh porcini mushrooms in the UK unless you go foraging in the woods and country parks. We can get dried, but they're obviously not the same.
Yes, the dried ones are not the same as fresh ones... However, you can soak the dried mushrooms in warm water for about 20-30 minutes to rehydrate them
@@vincenzosplate th-cam.com/video/1XcEe7SNinQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=awfbMFYKHcZneT1S. This is from the Brooklyn Brothers Cooking Channel. Their recipe for Cacio e Pepe.
Hello Vincenzo, I need your advice! I’m in the Netherlands, taking care of my 84 year old mother with dementia, together with a Croatian caretaker. For French recipes, I bought her the book (in English) by Stephane from TH-cam channel The French Cooking Academy. For Italian recipes (pasta’s!) I would like to buy her a similar book (in English) about the Italian kitchen! I don’t need a complete coverage with 500+ recipes. I’m looking for a (well written) book with some (40-60) good recipes! Can you recommend a title? I would be so grateful! Kind regards, Thijs
I'm of course not Vincenzo, but I am recommending the first two cookbooks of the "River Cafe". Easy Cooking Italian recipes. Even thow the owners were 2 very well off English Ladies, they studied the Italian kitchen very authentic.
Idk, the risotto recipes I have seen usually call for vegetable stock. I agree with VIncenzo. I think that chicken stock is a bit much, and adding thyme is going to overpower the flavors of those amazing mushrooms you put into it. Personally I would use shallots in it but thats just because I really like to use shallots and they have a milder flavor than a standard onion and clover of garlic. Because shallots have a more delicate flavor profile, working with stronger ingredients like garlic and thyme as well can make it very tricky to get that balance right.
I had a lot of fun experimenting with truffle oil in my pasta dishes. Obviously i would rather have the real thing but the truffle infused olive oil is already expensive as it is.
This video is proving that Michelin Star Chefs are not the best. Every cuisine needs to be studied carefully

The best mushroom risotto I do is a slight variation of yours. I use dried high quality mushroom mix, heat it with water to reconstitute it, I use the brown water that dissolves as stock. Unbelievable taste. I also used Baldo rice and it is very good.
Very well my friend! It sounds delicious 👏🏻👨🍳
Thanks Vincenzo! I’ve cooked nearly all your recipes. All turned out great.
Could you do a video on making a Risi e bisi?
Also, what are your thoughts on good quality coloured pastas?
Thanks for all your hard work and good positive message around traditional cooking
He is basically sponsored by Knorr. It would be like you would be sponsored by Barilla to show their pasta and other stuff.
They're stock pots are pretty good tho
@@FiendishlyDelightedSefto Maybe you never watched what's actually inside:
Ingredients
Concentrated chicken bouillon (60%) (water, chicken powder), salt, vegetable fat (palm fruit), sugar, yeast extract (gluten from barley), chicken fat (2%), flavourings, gelling agents (E415, E410), garlic (0.4%), carrots , colourants (caramel & carotenes), leek , maltodextrin, parsley (0.1%), antioxidant (rosemary extract), white pepper. Sustainably grown.
It's not even stock but based on yeast.
I would only partner with brands that I use and think that are great! Integrity is important in life!
@@vincenzosplate , sure I agree, but how many such good brands showcase their stuff to an international audience? I think as viewer it is also hard to know the real story behind the brands. Some clothes are made in Italy but made by Chinese workers in factories on Italy.
Also alot of Italian brands are not easily found abroad or found at a good price. Guancale in Sweden costs around 40-50 USD/kg. Good pasta brands can be costly if you are a family of four or five. I do buy good brands but not all time. It's the same with cheese. I usually switch pecorino with local Swedish cheese as I find the taste better for Carbonara.
@@narvul fresh is usually what I make at home so I know what's in it
Your criticism would have much more credibility if you actually cooked the recipes and tried them rather than simply guessing that they're bad (at least in most cases).
MPW is a legend in cooking, the level of Sith Lord I might say. So you can always criticize a Sith Lord, but you better be Obi wan kenobi, I don’t think you are
Vincenzo.
On a serious note, pls refer MPW’s video below. It shows his versatility in cooking style. So Vincenzo, pls do not nit pick this video, everybody can cook with their own style. It only shows that you are jealous… ☺️

Love the video
You know he's paid to push that.
Yeah I know but it will never make sense for me!
@@vincenzosplate It just has to make money. Which it does. And by that logic it makes sense... in a weird way
@@vincenzosplate Dear Vincenzo, it may not make sense to you, because you don't make any money out of it. For him instead who makes a lot of money with those things, it makes a lot of sense ! Try to be realistic. People today for money also sell their souls. I think you should know that too.
The problem is not Knorr, because Knorr has vegetable stock and even mushroom stock ! The problem here is the chef
And you tubers are paid by clicks and Amazon stores. What’s your point?
Vincenzo was really stuck on the chicken stock on this one lol
Well it just doesn't go😅 He should have used vegetable stock instead
Yet missed the fact he wasn’t using hot liquid.
@@vincenzosplatehow does chicken stock not go with mushrooms? This doesn’t need to be a vegetarian dish.
@@vincenzosplatewho gives a fuck? It works perfectly fine with chicken stock
@@beaudowns51let people be creative. I agree but you shouldn’t criticise one of the best chefs ever who’s tasted every combination there is. Sure if he used beef stock pot or something I wouldn’t try it lol but these people make me laugh
I'm thinking of trying to make a risotto with either a butternut squash or acorn squash from my garden at the end of the season. I'm interested in seeing if it works well or not. The idea of vegetable stock and fresh Italian parsley (all from the garden). What do you think? Any tips or something I should do? (I am going to be following your recipe for the base)
Love The Godfather pasta shirt Vincenzo!!
Thank you! If you want to have one too you can check out my website! 😊
Chef looks not very interested in his own risotto, he looks tired as well.
He probably IS tired
Yes, I think too that he is tired and not interested..
Criticising probably the best chef ever in history and Michelin star chef. These TH-camr make me laugh. Thinking they know better
MPW also shot an unsponsored video for BBC on mushroom risotto.
Here it is: th-cam.com/video/TnasKUVdkh4/w-d-xo.html
I remember seeing MPW do the Knorr jelly cube stock advert. It’s a short cut for the home cook especially those who aren’t confident cooks as it’s already done for them - I doubt he would do this in his restaurant 😂
Garlic, thyme and parsley is a good flavour combination for dishes 😏
UK - lots of types of mushroom are sold in supermarkets 👍
Did you ever get a Michelin star? No? So don't insult the best chef in the world
Digging deep in the barrel of videos now. How far back in time is this?😂
The chicken stock market crash? 😄
😂😂😂
His stock is NOT warm, do not use cold stock like he did, the rice stops simmering of you do.
Yes! You are right! Never use cold stock!
I was wondering, and I might be wrong. When I cook risotto, I tend to cook everything *but* the rice beforehand. In the same pot, of course, to keep the flavours there. I cook all my ingredients first and then add the rice and stock (slowly) until it gets to the right texture on the rice. Is this correct, or should I cook ingredients separately?
Cooking all the ingredients together in the same pot can indeed help infuse the flavors more deeply into the rice. It's a traditional method that many cooks use. However, some prefer to cook certain ingredients separately for precise control over their texture and flavor.
@@vincenzosplate Thanks for the info! :)
Vincenzo, I love your channel I love the fact that you have shown me how to cook Italian more authentically, but in Marcos defense, he was doing it that way for an advertisement for knorr. He does another video where it's done a lot more properly and better here
th-cam.com/video/0lqo-ZGQBoA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=74tWwGPtrY8EWP9u
Sorry I accidentally misspelled your name lol
There’s nothing wrong with knorr or your favorite store bought brand of stock. Think the point was chicken stock would over power the fancy mushrooms. It was suggested to use vegetable stock or water.
I'm with chef Jean Pierre, water taste like nothing. Stock is always better.
How do you say “you’re retarded” in Italian?
Sage and Rosemary are VERY strong flavors, use extremely sparingly, most people use way too much Lavender as well.
I will violently defend Marco Pierre White. This dude was the first celebrity chef, and was the youngest to win 3 Michelin Stars. He also trained and mentored Gordon Ramsay and thousands of other chefs.
His contribution to the culinary world is extraordinary, and he is one of the most respected chefs in history.
These Knorr videos were aimed at ordinary people who worked 9-5 jobs, who never had money or time to make pretentious, gourmet food.
I'm a huge fan of you, Vincenzo.....but Marco Pierre White is a better chef than most people will ever be, you included. You shouldn't critique these Knorr videos in the same way that you critique other videos. The context needs to be understood.
TRUUUUU, I honestly find the Knorr Videos Rather Wholesome
14:57 One thing I remember from my visit to Italy several years ago…we were on a bus tour. We stopped off somewhere in Campania and right on the side of the road was a vendor selling an infused chili oil that was thought to be an aphrodisiac.
I must admit when I make a mushroom risotto, in the past I too have used chicken stock (but at least I made my own), however, these days I use a combination of the water from the rehydration of funghi porcini which I always add plus bought mushroom stock. I never bother with veg stock. From my experience the use of the combination of these stocks works a treat. Also, I have only ever used arborio rice, I have never tried the other varieties, given they are quite a lot more expensive and to date I have been perfectly happy with the arborio rice. Maybe you could explain what the differences are to us.
I too like thyme over parsley with my mushrooms but I would use butter to cook them not olive oil. I generally add the parsley to the risotto near the end of cooking as the flavour otherwise gets lost.
When you’ve got a couple of Michelin stars Vincenzo… you can criticize.
He can criticize all he wants. It’s his nationality and cuisine.
Vicenzo is wild for this one. These marco videos were designed for home cooks to cook easier. My man is a 3 star Michelin chef, he knows how to cook the real deal for the right context lol
The reason Marco says it is your kitchen, do what you like is because he realized Michelin stars use to dictated what he should be like and did something about it.
Oh man this had me laughing with all the times you said “what’s wrong with you?”
Your reaction videos make my day hahaha, you need to see some of Gino D’acampo and his banter with Gordon Ramsay, the funny side of those two is always entertaining
PS I made a risotto for the first time last month and omg… that is my newest comfort food 😋👍
I am glad that you liked the video!
Great job with risotto! I hope you made it with my recipe?
@@vincenzosplate I did! Now added to the comfort food list at home 😋
Heyyyyy its Vincenzo. Here he is bashing a really really old video even though theres newer videos. And even after hes been told on other Marco videos its a sponsored video, yet again he goes and bashes more older sponsored videos
And yet Vincenzo makes crybaby "look at what they say about me on reddit" videos which proves you can criticise but cant take criticism from comments made years ago...ironic now you criticise a really old marco video.
Vincenzo, these videos were made when Marco was sponsored by Knorr, he did this entirely for money.
He can definitely make an amazing risotto but the knorr sponsorship was nothing but a cash grab.
Well, shat about the other steps that he messed up? Not using butter and cheese at the end? 😅
Doesn’t mean you can’t make a great risotto with knorr.
Marco Pierre White is a legend. The knowledge he has from decades of experience , all of you the new chefs dont have it yet.Reach at his level and after dare to judge him. Disrespect is to give lessons to a person like Marco Pierre White. For those who dont know watch videos in youtube to see who is this unique chef.
In Marco’s defense, he had given up his Michelin stars at this point, and sworn off Michelin as a tire company. In videos like this one, he’s just making a version that the common home cook could make. The restaurant chef has to innovate to impress the customers. But cooking for yourself or your family doesn’t have all those requirements. He uses Knorr products because he loved using stock cubes, and Knorr found out about it and chose to sponsor him.
Marco used to have an advertising contract with a certain company. Every video that ended up on TV was basically an advert for that company's product. People have slagged him off for years because of this.
Caio Vincenzo. We love your videos and we follow a lot of your excellent recipes 🍝🥰 we would like to purchase your book (if it is out yet 🤷🏽♀️😂). Can’t find any links available to do so. Was wondering if there is/ will be somewhere we can buy it off of you directly maybe through the link on the shop? We are in Malta 🇲🇹Thank you and keep educating people. The world needs you 🤩
who here is the 3 Michelin star chef???
My only reaction to the Michelin chef is “Cripes dude, put that hair in a net.” I was envisioning his risotto with a strand of his hair in it. 🤢🤢
Yes!!!
Well noticed!
100%
MPW, always seems unclean to me and I saw one video of him smoking while cooking.
Please make as close to that risotto and react to how it tastes, I don't think its bad 😂
It might not be bad, but it is not made by traditional recipe. And he made some mistakes, for example the chicken broth...
He’s not Michelin star anymore he gave them up! Very critical! Considering every time you get a friend to come to show you how to cook! Pizza, bolognaise etc
I agree that before you do your own version, learn to make the right one first- then you can sya you dont like it, or wanna change it. but for people making dish x and then changes things with it, dont say you didnt like dish x when you never made it as it was supposed to be.
That's correct! We first have to learn how a recipe should be made and then add your touch to it!
Marco is using a recipe for home cooks to use who don't have the time or energy to make a michelin star level dish and Knorr is paying for these commercial videos so he has to use their product, which to be honest works great in all pastas, rice, soups, etc. There's nothing wrong with promoting a good product...Knorr is great and has been around for almost 2 centuries for a reason.
It's not just about Knorr, la mantecatura at the end of a risotto is crucial. The risotto needs butter and cheese at the end! 😊
Have we just found the new spokesKnorr?
I think Marco Pierre White should stick to cooking French food.
Yeshhh... Looks like italian food is not for him!
All the video proves is that White was doing this recipe as part of an advertising campaign for Knorr. He's also well known for pointing out that home cooking should be simple and tasty, which this is. Real truffles when you've come back from work??
One truffle with a grater isn't hard to do. ❤
You don't need the entire thing.
Truffle oil is gross and Vincenzo is correct about infused oils.
Marco's credentials are a Master five star Michelin Chef. World renowned. What are YOUR credentials?...an amateur TH-cam content creator! Here in America we call people like you "Arm chair cooks." Marco chased perfection...you chase video click$. I subscribed to your channel many years ago, because you were amusing to watch. Today I unsubscribed!
This man would lose his mind seeing me add red wine vingear to the liquid to cook the rissoto in
Crazy how mean people are being in the comments. Vincenzo is traditional. That's his choice.
Marco does it how he wants to. It's his choice
Its a cheffy restaurant thing to put chicken stock in everything.
Yeah.. But in the traditional recipe has to be the veg. stock
Keep your eyes open at the supermarket, Tesco, Sainsburys, M&S, Ocado, Waitrose and probably Morrisons All have seasonal produce including wild mushroom. Some do bulk it with oyster and shiitake, but you will find chanterelles and girolles are available as well as maybe some others.
I think you’re overreacting on this occasion. There is nothing wrong with using a light chicken or vegetable stock in a mushroom risotto.
Now I'm going to sound crazy. But I think when someone learns to make a dish associated with a certain culture. While it is perfectly fine to make your own version. I do believe you should only do that after one has learned the basics. This is why I like channels like Vincenzo's as he will explain the traditional versions to you. As well as the technical and reasons for why some of these things are done. As I believe one shouldn't experiment until they have a suitable understanding of the basics. Else ways you get videos like Jamie Oliver making Ramen without using actual Ramen noodles.
This is part of an advertising campaign. He sold out. I spoke to a chef that he trained. "It's like Beethoven selling mouth organs!"
A master musician like Beethoven would not have looked down his nose at a gifted player regardless of the instrument.
Yeah... probably thats why he is using it so much!! in every recipe
In the US, one can usually find many different kinds of mushrooms in the supermarket.
Yes, you guys have tons to choose from over there.
Vincenzo I love your channel, good for you critiquing one of greatest chefs alive making this dish 😊
I love MPW
MPW knowns food really well. These are basically Knorr commercials for the general public. Don't forget that this is aimed for the general public in the UK, where cooking is not exactly a national hobby. It also has to be considered that the general public doesn't like food which has no familiar favours in it, therefore you need to adjust it for that. It cannot be too expensive either, because the branding of the product would not be in line with the advertisement. Although Marco was the first celebrity chef, he's very different from the others. He worked for free in fine dining restaurants for about a year at the start of his career while he was extremely poor just to learn everything from food.
Did you want to say that they are ... _Knorrmercials_ ??? 😵💫
I’ve eaten at a few Michelin stars, restaurants, and all I could say is, it’s all showbiz
Nothing beats like a home cooked meal, right?
@@vincenzosplate come on over I’ll cook for you if you’re ever in San Francisco

@@vincenzosplate thank you! Going to watch it now.
The mushrooms are the focus of the dish. I agree with Vincenzo, a good vegetable stock and parsley.
When I make vegetable stock I like to use the off cuts of mushroom with the sofrito.
Thank you for your support! 😊
Vincenzo, per l'amor di Dio, This verson of marco, is not the guy who won 3 stars. And now, after he's been semi retired, He is sponsered by Knorr. so that whole 'stock pot' deal is because of them. If you saw any of his older deals, he would not have used any of this. Please don't get me wrong, I do agree with you on the recipies, but please don't judge his tallents on this Knorr bought stuff.
He should dehydrate dried mushrooms and use the water from that to infuse his risotto.
be glad he didn’t use a stock pot, because he’s known for that sweet knorr money
Using knorr in this recipe was a very bad idea 😅
REhydrate.
@@vincenzosplatewhy?
I use chicken stock. the mushrooms I can get in the grocery store don't have an amazing flavor and the stock i make has a lot of vegetables, so it helps. I think it's fine to alter based on preference, but I'd probably be more careful about harder to get ingredients like wild mushrooms.
Be careful when you buy truffle oil, the cheap ones have no truffle in it whatsoever but a substance derived from oil, like diesel or gasoline and the taste is horrid.
I am not a fan of truffle oil to be honest 😅
@@vincenzosplate Neither am I, I do like truffles though but contrary to porcini, Ik can't pick them myself.
But I thought it worthwhile to warn people against using the cheap stuff. It tastes like a used bicycle chain. 🙄
Italians and their unwavering belief they are the gatekeepers of true culinary wisdom. Get a grip Italy, your food is nice, but...chill!
We can't get fresh porcini mushrooms in the UK unless you go foraging in the woods and country parks.
We can get dried, but they're obviously not the same.
Yes, the dried ones are not the same as fresh!
however, you can soak the dried mushrooms in warm water for about 20-30 minutes to rehydrate them.

Hello Vincenzo, I need your advice!
I’m in the Netherlands, taking care of my 84 year old mother with dementia, together with a Croatian caretaker.
For French recipes, I bought her the book (in English) by Stephane from TH-cam channel The French Cooking Academy.
For Italian recipes (pasta’s!) I would like to buy her a similar book (in English) about the Italian kitchen! I don’t need a complete coverage with 500+ recipes. I’m looking for a (well written) book with some (40-60) good recipes!
Can you recommend a title? I would be so grateful! Kind regards, Thijs
I'm of course not Vincenzo, but I am recommending the first two cookbooks of the "River Cafe". Easy Cooking Italian recipes. Even thow the owners were 2 very well off English Ladies, they studied the Italian kitchen very authentic.
Idk, the risotto recipes I have seen usually call for vegetable stock. I agree with VIncenzo. I think that chicken stock is a bit much, and adding thyme is going to overpower the flavors of those amazing mushrooms you put into it. Personally I would use shallots in it but thats just because I really like to use shallots and they have a milder flavor than a standard onion and clover of garlic. Because shallots have a more delicate flavor profile, working with stronger ingredients like garlic and thyme as well can make it very tricky to get that balance right.
I had a lot of fun experimenting with truffle oil in my pasta dishes. Obviously i would rather have the real thing but the truffle infused olive oil is already expensive as it is.
21:00 I’ve seen other videos where Italians say that if it’s a mushroom risotto, don’t add the cheese.
Maybe it was a risotto with seafood, because cheese goes well with mushrooms
@@vincenzosplate Maybe
@@vincenzosplate so does chicken stock.
It's almost morel season where I live. I can almost taste the risotto I plan to make.

It's weird because he does add the butter and cheese at the end when he does asparagus risotto.
Another great video Vincenzo'!
