Jamie is a fraud, I told you before my friend. He's a crafty salesman though, selling himself first and then everything in his slipstream; overpriced restaurants, cookware, bbq stuff, microwave meals and lets not forget his traditional Green Pesto recreated by Jamie Oliver and made with the finest Italian ingredients like: Basil (38%), extra virgin olive oil (18%), sunflower oil, CASHEW NUTS, Grana Padano CHEESE PDO (MILK) (6.9%), PINE NUTS (4%), Pecorino CHEESE PDO (MILK), garlic, sugar, sea salt, acidity regulator: lactic acid, antioxidant: ascorbic acid.
My wife, RIP, used to ask me, "....what type of slop is this..." ? That was one of those humorous husband/wife banter comments. But Really Jamie, what type of slop is this? NO Way in Hell is that a Lasagna, it's a Green Vegetable Casserole at best.
@@jackapps2126I mean it isn't hard to tell that it isn't a lasagna and while it may taste fine it's again not a lasagna. Also based on what we see he doesn't really add a lot of actual flavor into it.
Let it be remembered that on this day, at the moment Jamie added mustard to lasagna, Italian ancestors felt the pain that Asian ancestors felt when Jamie added chili jam to fried rice. Our ancestors are now crying in unison. In this pain, Jamie has united Italian and Asian people.
Tell me about it! 🙈 The ingredient list was a marathon, not a sprint! 😂 But hey, at least cleaning up is a breeze in comparison! 🍝🧽 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🇮🇹👨🍳😅
Jamie Oliver in his next video: “Today, I’m going to show you how to make a classic, old-fashioned American smash burger. So, you start off with some canned tuna…”
Haiyaa, his egg fried rice make my ancestor cry. Why he use chilli jam? Why? Everyone know egg fried rice is just 3 ingredients - egg, fried and rice. Don’t forget to use MSG in everything - it the king of flavour.
What's hilarious to me is that he could've just replaced the meat with eggplant and then just followed everything else in the recipe traditionally and bam, vegetarian lasagna 😂
I have an amateurish video of my eggplant lasagna on my amateurish channel. I just replaced meat with eggplants in my tomato sauce, and cooked a regular lasagna, without adding a bunch of wtf ingredients. I do use both cheddar and parmiggiano in it, so Vincenzo might still get upset :)
I actually spat my drink out around 13:50 when Jamie suggested adding pesto on top of the multitude of other flavours he'd already combined - mustard, mint, lemon, cheddar, parmesan, milk, nuts etc. Seems like Jamie's definition of lasagne is any combination of ingredients and flavours, as long as you add some lasagne sheets.
I don't know what it is, porridge or soup or something else for which the English language doesn't have a word yet. The Dutch language does: prutje. Which means everything smashed together.
Short shreadded lasagna sheets are basically "maltagliati", which is a different cut of pasta. It's not lasagna, as Vincenzo said, just because you start from a package of lasagna sheets. Lasagna needs layers, he's making maltagliati with mac&cheese sauce and some veggies (and random crazy shit like mint, lemon and mustard)
I have never liked Jamie's style of cooking and this recipe highlights why. He is definitely a successful TV cook but Vincenzo is ABSOLUTELY right about everything in this video. If this was served to you without knowing what it was, you would never guess it to be lasagna of any kind including the pasta. How in God's name does someone add mustard to that vegetable mush and then have the audacity to call it lasagna. Bravo Vincenzo. You are constructively critical without offending anyone and are always entertaining.
Thanks a million for the support! 🙌 I'm just here to keep it real, and Jamie's creations do leave us scratching our heads sometimes! 😂 Stay tuned for more entertaining critiques! 🍽️👨🍳🤣
Same here. He has a nice presentation. But I really am not a fan of him overdoing the dish with strong spices. Or simply making existing dishes too weird.
You have a point! 🤔 "Lazy lasagna" might be a more fitting title for this concoction. Sometimes, the authenticity of a dish is essential. Let's hope for more genuine Italian flavors in the future. 🇮🇹👨🍳😄
Lazy lasagna would be using boxed lasgana sheets, pre made tomato sauce from a jar and pre shredded cheese from a bag. This is just a pasta casserole gone wrong.
There are two different problems, which we should keep separate. 1. What Jamie Oliver made is clearly not lasagna. We did not even need Vincenzo to explain why not -- this dish does not faintly resemble lasagna. (What if Uncle Roger threw some torn up lasagna noodles into his egg fried rice? Could he say, "Hiya, now I have made lasagna!"??? 2. It is disgusting. The flavors, as Vincenzo pointed out, are just not harmonious. Milk, mustard, pesto, and mint??? Really? (Not to mention the cheddar and parmaggiano, and the almonds.) All of those flavors are good, but come on, they just don't go together.
Haha, it seems Jamie Oliver's cooking can inspire different reactions! Sometimes, ordering from a restaurant is the way to go when culinary adventures take an unexpected turn. Here's to enjoying delicious meals, whether cooked at home or ordered in! 🍽️😄
@@vincenzosplate Jaime is an inspiration for all potential future chefs. You first watch what Jaime does, question every decision he makes. Then watch reaction videos to validate if professional chefs agree with what you had identified as a questionable. Improve yourself as a chef by learning what NOT to do!
Jamie used to be an incredible chef, made lots of recipes that were simple and tasty ( my mum still has a little binder of his recipes that you got from Sainsbury's un the 90's) then he went nuts with healthy food (which is great, nearly everyone could stand to eat healthier) and in maybe the last ten or so years he lost his damn mind. This isnt even lasagna, it's just a nasty soup. Theres no way that flour is cooked properly
Totally get what you're saying! 🤣 Jamie's been on quite the culinary journey. 🍝🥗 This "lasagna" had us scratching our heads too! 🤨👨🍳 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🇮🇹👌
When I tried to cleaning up my fridge and pantry, I did exactly what Jamie Oliver did. However, it wouldn’t served 6 people, just only served one person, myself.I wouldn’t allow my family eat something like that.
Eh, from what I've heard from Uncle Roger butter isn't all too common in Asian food anyways, but idk about that. My dad's side of the family is Filipino and my aunts, grandma, and him will use butter as fat in, like, eggs. Though they do use plenty of normal oil as well.
My grandma used to make a veggie lasagna. She just made a regular lasagna with a bunch of fresh veggies like brokkoli and stuff, made a classic bechamel and put it all together in classic lasagna style. Just by looking at whatever Jamie does here, I can tell my grandma nailed it, Jamie has no clue what he´s doing.
@@vincenzosplateI like to make a roast vegetable lasagne using spinach pasta and topped with a 'bechamel' that's half ricotta, and crumbled feta on top. May not be traditional but the slightly sharp / fresh taste pairs off well with the rich slightly sweet vegetables.
@@Blueberryyymuffin it depends on who you ask. Some people like it with mustard, and some don't. Gravy is very traditional though. I like to put some mustard on the rookworst at the end.
When I first watched Jamie he was this young, energized chef who made every recipe look easy to make at home. I saw some of his trips to Italy, discovered some very regional products. Watched him cooking with Genaro. That last thing pains me the most. He was trained by Genaro, a very good and genuine Italian chef. I use his recipe for pizza dough as it is tasty, easy to make and just gorgeous. Sad that Jamie is now basically tarnishing all this experience and legacy.
It's understandable that you have a sense of disappointment, especially when you've seen Jamie's earlier work and his collaborations with chefs like Gennaro. The evolution of a chef's style and approach can sometimes take unexpected turns, and not all experiments are successful. It's a testament to the importance of staying true to culinary roots and expertise. 🍕👨🍳
He's collapsed under the gravity of his own ego. He thinks because he is who he is that he can just declare anything to be so and it is whilst completely ignoring tradition and common sense. You can see it in the way he talks about cheap foods and the way he tries to politically interfere here in the UK. For example the sugar tax, man couldn't possibly come up with an initiative to make healthy food cheaper. No, it had to be one that made the food that poverty stricken families rely on more expensive. I used to like Jamie Oliver but he's just insufferable
@@benammiswifttbh, poor families should be priced out of poor nutritional options, especially when frozen veg is from £1 a bag. Same as the sugar tax. As for his political activism, he's campaigned for nutritious school dinners. You actually got a problem with that?
@@philwill0123 Yes. I was at school after he did he interfering. The snacks were literally like, Pizza, Bacon Cheese Tomato Bagels, Paninis the same and you could buy as much as you wanted. They were always dripping with grease. there was also no limit of how much you could buy. I'm not entirely sure how that equates to Jamie's new health eating / nutrition campaign. He also just absolutely slaughters cuisines however he sees fit now and he does these "3 ingredient" recipes or whatever which is an incredible half truth when he does stuff like adding premade canned soup. It's then not at all 4 ingredients. I just don't like that he pisses around with food that means stuff to people, whether it be cheap food keeping poverty stricken families alive or dearly loved cuisines from people's country and he does it as he feels like with no respect for what anyone but himself feels
I'll never understand the British obsession with peas, and most of my family's British. Him and Gordon are always shoving peas into Italian food. They're not a bad vegetable, they're fine, it's just so weird to me that they seem to think everything needs peas.
It's quite interesting how British chefs sometimes incorporate peas into dishes where they might not traditionally belong! 😄 Peas do have their place in various cuisines, but as you mentioned, it can be a bit of an unexpected addition in Italian dishes. Culinary creativity knows no bounds! 🍝🇮🇹😂
@@lillexus5589 yeah I don't have a problem with peas, it's just weird to me that I've seen several videos of Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay, and others adding them to recipes where they don't really belong traditionally, like stir fries and pasta. They seem to be the favourite veg of England, which I don't really get
@@lillexus5589 I cannot think of many starters or main meals that would be ruined by adding garden peas tbh. They go with just about every cuisine you can think of, from Chinese to Irish.
This dude seriously made a vegetable bechamel with lasagna sheets sprinkled on top and is trying to call it a lasagna? Is he that far gone that he thinks if the recipe has lasagna noodles it’s a lasagna? I have made my fair share of both white and red sauce lasagnas, and I have never used mustard, EVER. That flavor just sounds disgusting for a lasagna. Also have never used pesto or almonds. A vegetarian lasagna is fine to make, but what are those vegetables? Peas, beans and asparagus? That sounds like a British vegetable mix. I always use vegetables like zucchini, yellow squash, butternut squash if it’s in season, mushrooms. I have never dumped frozen vegetables into my sauce, all that added moisture… ugh!! And finally, an Italian dish and the only herb used is mint??? Where is the garlic? Thyme? Oregano? I’m actually pissed off after watching this, it’s a complete mockery of one of the most classic Italian dishes.
@donwald3436 beat me to it, honestly. Between butter less Butter Chicken, and Ramenless Ramen, Jamie actually using Lasagna sheets is more accurately making Lasagne than usual for him. He STILL didn't make Lasagne, but he managed to do one thing right before tearing pasta in half.
I am far away from being Italian, but today I felt the pain of the whole nation. Adding pesto made some emotional damage even for me! Why on earth this mad man did that? I was highly inspired by Genaro, tried many of his creations and now Jamie, who's also one of Genaro's students comes with that mess
It's so weird that he was your inspiration. I have yet to see him make something I want to eat. You, on the other hand, have been my inspiration to start cooking Italian food and you haven't failed me yet.
I'm truly honored to have inspired your love for Italian cooking! 🇮🇹 It's all about sharing the passion for delicious, authentic dishes. If you ever need recipes or cooking tips, feel free to reach out. Grazie mille! 🍝👨🍳
A lot of his early recipes were actually genuinely tasty. It's when he got it into his head he's some expert of world cuisine / jumped on the 'healthier version of everything' bandwagon that shit went downhill. Unfortunately that's all he's been doing for the past several years and is getting deserved stick for it.
I have learnt how to cook authentic Bolognese from Jamie's website back in 2011. It truly is saddening to see him go down this path and I hope he gets back on track.
Jamie is the personification of "i already made a billion dollars but my manager tells me i should keep putting out quick/healthy recipe recipe videos"
Chef! Did you hear?! Chef James Makinson made a lasagna video and requested you review it! YES!!! My two favorite Chefs doing something together makes me so happy!!! Please understand he used what he could get based on where he was and he clarifies that several times, but it still looks excellent and the techniques used were spot on! Please make this your next review video!!!
The thing about Jaimie is that he completely misses the most basic pillars of Italian cuisine: few quality ingredients, cooked to perfection, allowing each flavour to individually shine. What Jamie did is, again, complete crap.
He badly broke the two major rules I've learned over the years while cooking: less is more - don't use too many ingredients, and take time to cook ingredients separately
Sorry, Vincenzo, I'm Mexican, and Jamie was never my inspiration since he messed up with Mexican food. The first time I watched Jamie Oliver was when he made a Mexican dish... he doesn't know how to make proper Mexican food at all, I was disgusted. I think he should limit himself to what he knows how to do right and not mess with the food from other cultures.
I think I lost it when he just ripped and tossed in those lasagna sheets. It might not have been so bad had he properly layered it with the sauce, but it just ended up being a sloppy, soupy mess. Oh yeah, and the mustard too😂
Oh, the horror! 😂 Ripping lasagna sheets and adding mustard? That's a recipe for chaos, not lasagna! 🙈 Let's stick to the Italian classics, shall we? 🇮🇹🍝👍
I'll suggest him to do experiments on British dishes only. Then less risk for him to be embarrassed in a case of failure like this one. I made the same error of "a million different ingredients in the same dish", but I was 10 years old. Since then, I have kept traditional recipes in very small conversions and even this sometimes I regret it. Simplicity is the only safe side of cooking.
You make a great point! Simplicity often leads to the most delicious and reliable results in cooking. Jamie might want to stick to British dishes for his culinary experiments to avoid unexpected surprises! 🍽️😊
You nailed it. People need to stick to what they really know, which is usually their traditional cuisine. I have a food blog for Creole/Southern food that has a section on Chinese food, but I'm really clear that it's American style versions of common Chinese take out. Stay in your lane is good advice.
most italian dishes are quite „simple“ but they let the fantastic ingredients shine. tomatoes from heaven, cheese like mouthwatering parmigiano, pecorino, mozzarella, grade a pasta, basil, soffritto…simple but good. that‘s the secret. only the best things in->great output.
Haha, it seems Jamie Oliver's culinary experiments can have quite the appetite-suppressing effect! 😄 Let's hope for more appetite-pleasing recipes in the future! 🍽️😅
@@vincenzosplate Jamie's diet food. Best way to kill an appetite. Sad, because he has made some good dishes, but I think he's trying too hard to be relevant by sacrificing authenticity and integrity.. IMHO
I had a discussion with my wife a while ago why it seemed that the same recipe Jamie made like a decade ago were so much better than the same recipes he makes in his more contemporary programs. Our conclusion was that he simply doesn't design his own recipes any longer. He has a team that test things, and he is just the brand in front of the camera. Regardless of the reason however it's a real shame. Also I think Gordon is better, at least he gives the impression he wants to learn things.
I think that he is trying to be more "relatable" like things you might have in your freezer, (maybe more like in the uk) make cooking easy for them, but he is calling these recipes like if they were the original thing with a little variation, which they are not. I think the concept of getting regional ingridients instead of the originals its interesting as some of them are hard to find or really expensive (where i live it's really hard to find mozzarella made with buffalo milk for example, or just real mozzarella) but he just destroy every recipe lol maybe they taste good... but nothing like the original thing
Creative people of all sorts eventually run out of ideas, typically when they reach a certain level of success. Hunger is a great motivator for a young starving artist, but then he gets rich and that motivator is gone. This is why great bands that are together for too long eventually start to suck; it's hard to be "metal" when you're living in a lakeside mansion with a wife and three kids and a yacht. Now, for a musician, this isn't that big a deal. You can coast on what you've already created; people will still pay good money to see you perform your older songs, which they still love. They'll still watch your music videos on TH-cam for a little residual income. And it's been proven by science that as people grow older, they don't really enjoy listening to new music anymore. Put out a few great albums, and you've got fans for life who will continue to support you forever. Food is different. People are always interested in new food experiences. Maybe not new cuisines, but at least a little twist on an old favorite. Also, unlike music, once you know how to make Gordon's beef Wellington, you don't need to keep watching videos of Gordon making beef Wellington to enjoy it. So, big-time celebrity chefs like Jamie and Gordon have to keep cranking out new content, new ideas, if they want to keep generating those views and making that money. And sometimes... those new ideas are bad. I think guys like Vincenzo are in a good position for the long term. He mixes showing you how to make classic Italian dishes the proper way with reacting to other people trying to put new twists on those dishes. And he's pretty open-minded about people experimenting with his beloved Italian cuisine. One thing I see him saying a lot in his reaction videos is, basically, "Well, that's not traditional, but it looks pretty good; I'd give it a try." He didn't do that here, though, and for good reason. This is not lasagna; this is a creamy British vegetable stew with an odd flavor profile that just happens to have a few lasagna sheets thrown in. Vincenzo is right to feel insulted by Jamie calling it lasagna.
@@santiagooehler Man get outta here, no one thinks for a second one pan veggie lasagna is anything like the 'original'. I hate when people get so anal about sticking to tradition or 'how it should be made', just imagine gatekeeping foof ffs...seems pathetic IMO.
@@suzie_lovescats I think one could make a pretty good casserole from some of these ingredients. The problem is as Vincenzo points out there are too many conflicting flavors and ingredients.
- And jam, and 2 shovels of charcoal, and watermelon with margarine, and half of squid... And 3 blossomed cacti.. This recipe is like something out of matrix - an anomaly..
It's true that Jamie has ventured into many culinary territories, and this time, it seems even Italian cuisine couldn't escape his unique approach. Let's hope he can mend any broken culinary hearts and get back to the kitchen traditions we all love! 🇮🇹🍝
Impressive indeed! 🤣 It's like he embarked on a culinary adventure and ended up somewhere unexpected. Let's hope he finds his way back to delicious lasagna soon! 🍅🧀🇮🇹😄
He's not even a chef, he's just a lucky guy who got an oppurtinity with his first show and it took off. There wasn't much of this content back than, I remember watching his show on TV as a kid.
Jamie Oliver reminds me of Graham Kerr, aka The Galloping Gourmet. He was one of the most famous chefs in the world and his show was entertaining - but he was a crap chef.@@sL1NK
Jamie made such a complicated dish when he's actually supposed to make cooking approachable. He's so nervous about making simple food, he constantly feels the need to cover his mistakes with more ingredients. In the end I think Vincenzo is right, there's too many flavors in there and none of them get to shine.
You've made an insightful observation! Jamie's intention to make cooking approachable can sometimes lead to overly complicated dishes, and adding more ingredients to cover mistakes can indeed result in a crowded flavor profile. Simplicity often allows each ingredient to shine. Let's hope for recipes that strike the right balance in the future! 🍝👨🍳😄
Exactly. Not only physically, but also flavor-wise lasagna already is a dish with multiple layers: the umami of meat (or an appropriate vegetarian alternative like eggplant or mushrooms or pumpkin), the fresh acidity & sweetness of tomatoes, the salty tang of hard cheese, the pasta to give everything structure, and creamy bechamel to bring it all together. It took generations to balance this combination into the dish we all know and love today. Yet it still has a refreshing simplicity behind all its complexity, because every ingredient has a place, a purpose - that's what makes Italian cuisine (and many others) so great: it lets the ingredients shine. So why on earth would you want to confuse the palate with even more different flavors and textures, haphazardly thrown together? Peas? Mint?! Mustard?!? WTF!
A woman in England has a channel on TH-cam called Titli's Busy Kitchen, she made a lasagna with leeks and not only did it look like an actual lasagna, i think the execution was alot better than how Jamie did. I'd recommend checking her out. She also made a vegetarian lasagna too.
I can't lie, when I saw the title I was thinking "yeah Vincenzo's overreacting, he probably just used the wrong cheese and added a little bit of milk or something" but when I watched the video I realized Vincenzo was totally right. This is a cream of vegetable soup, not a lasagna. And the mustard 😭
A bad cream of vegetable soup. Take out the peas, beans, pasta, one of the cheeses, lemon, mint, the flour, switch the milk for cream and maybe add a bit of cayenne or red pepper and you'd have a nice cream of leek and asparagus soup
The number of ingredients is a symptom of a failed dish that got patched up to the point of insanity, because nothing adds up. I've done that many times, I know how this works.
You've got a keen eye for culinary detective work! Sometimes, too many ingredients can be a sign of a dish gone awry. It's all about finding that perfect balance and harmony in flavors. 🍳🔍
@@rickyinglis9292 Just because you threw in a grotesquely large amount of ingredients into a bowl and 'cooked' them haphazardly does not mean you created something edible, much less tasty or nutritious.
I'm not calling my lasagna 'authentic', but its made with ragu, mozzarella, and ricotta between layers of pasta. I've never seen a lasagna made with leeks, flour, butter, mustard, milk, cheddar, asparagus, peas, beans, mint, almonds, and pesto. It looks like a casserole to me, not a lasagna.
I just love your channel and the way you explain Italian food.. I am from Europe, and here they still mess up italian food, even pizza.. and my favorite food is italian.... keep on going dude!
Povero Vicenzo! Mi fai ridere! As a fellow Italian, I'm sorry you had to witness this. I love watching your reactions to Jamie - it makes my year! Being an Australian born into an Italian family, I lived in Italy for 4 years from 2018 to 2022. I understood how less is more in Italian cooking and how pedantic the Italians are with their cooking. When Australians eat, it's because it's time to eat. When the Italians eat - it's an event! Back living in Melbourne now, I've used your 2023 Carbonara recipe and I've been cooking it at least once a week for friends and they say it's the best Carbonara they've ever tasted. So Grazie Vincenzo! I love your channel - keep up the good work. E va cagga Jamie! :)
@@tianamarie989 except it isn't a great dish. It's a nondescript (we might even call it "random" or "confused") veggie stew with some pasta sheets thrown in. There is nothing creative, innovative, or even time-saving in it. Making a proper lasagna would have used one, maybe two more pots, and would have taken about the same time (not the best lasagna in that short time, but absolutely doable). So what? - Just wash them up while the lasagna is in the oven. If you cannot spare the 30 seconds to do that, the 20 minutes it takes to prepare this dish would most probably be too long as well.
@@stephanweinberger I've made *steamed* lasagne and I had to use at least 2 cookwares (a pot and, well, steamer, bare minimum). P.S: steaming is surprisingly not as wet as it sounds. 😅
Jamie's got some serious acting skills in the kitchen! 🎬😂 Let's hope he sticks to his strengths, and we can enjoy his entertaining cooking experiments. 🍝👨🍳😄
Oh, he's also a decent cook - as long as he stays with English cuisine. There are some older shows with him where he does some amazing pies and other traditional English/British dishes. It's when he tries to apply those ideas, techniques and ingredients to foreign food where the problems start. He just seems very stuck in one way of cooking, one cuisine, and tries to shoehorn it into everything.
I agree! What Jamie is making is a casserole, but I would definitely not call it a lasagna. I do on sometimes make a version that uses Zucchini slices, the same red sauce I would make for regular lasagna minus the sausage, and of course the cheeses and pasta.
The strangest thing about these people is just the fact that they make some mixtures (mixing a lot of things with a lot of different tastes that in the end one doesn't know what that dish tastes like) and then put the name of a classic Italian dish. This is something that I never understood !
Yeah this was a real example of that, but often he makes a version of the dish and never uses the word authentic at all (at least from what I’ve seen) and yet people still get all triggered in the comments 😂. What is the point of having anyone else have a recipe for a dish if you’re only “allowed” to make the authentic version? It’s like saying you can only cover a song a if you sing it EXACTLY the same way as the original
Haha, Jamie's lasagna adventure is the stuff of legends! 🍛📜 Who knows what he'll add next? We'll keep watching and critiquing, for better or for "lasagna." 😄🇮🇹👨🍳
Nonna's food is often regarded as the heart and soul of Italian cuisine, and many cherish the authenticity and tradition it represents. It's clear that Jamie's recipes can sometimes take quite creative liberties with Italian dishes. Staying true to the Nonna's style is a great way to preserve those cherished culinary traditions! 🍝🇮🇹😊
I know a few Gen X-ers who are still totally enthralled by Jamie's recipes. "We did a Jamie Oliver!". If you scour the backroad TV channels in the UK you find his earliest 'bish bash bosh' cookery shows. He was a loud, oiky London barrow boy done good. Skip a few series and he's suddenly made a few bob and living out in the country, dressing like an apprentice game keeper and cooking pheasants and ducks. Then he tried to save all British school children and came up with increasingly bizarre ideas for shows. I remember one series he went to Italy, rocked up at a monastery and was visibly crying because the monks weren't eating his 'badabing' idea of Italian cuisine. He was like a missionary trying to get Italians to fall back in love with his idea of Italian cooking (how did that restaurant chain pan out??). The ego on the guy is off the charts, but hidden behind a superficial matey charm.
Haha, your Gen X friends have quite the journey with Jamie! 😄🍴 It's funny how he transformed from a London barrow boy to a countryside chef. And yes, his Italian escapades were quite a spectacle! 🇮🇹 The "badabing" mission didn't quite hit the mark. 😅 But hey, he keeps things interesting, right? 📺👨🍳
All these guys making “vegetarian” lasagna like you can’t just do a nice pomodoro layered between noodles, bechamel, fresh mozzarella and parmigiano/pecorino.
You're absolutely right! A classic vegetarian lasagna with tomato sauce, bechamel, fresh mozzarella, and cheese is not only delicious but also a wonderful way to enjoy the flavors of Italy. Sometimes simplicity and tradition are all you need for a fantastic dish. 🍅🧀🍝😋
It's not uncommon for chefs to experiment and evolve their cooking styles over time. Sometimes, those experiments might result in recipes that are a bit unconventional. Hopefully, Jamie Oliver will continue to delight with more traditional and well-received recipes as well! 🍽️😄
I think it’s because he’s becoming more and more of a health nut. Every video I’ve seen of him recently has him putting a LOT of vegetables in whatever he is cooking. Often the vegetables he uses are weird choices for the dish he’s making. Like this one for example. Who puts peas in a lasagna? Whenever I’ve seen a vegetable lasagna it’s usually made with something that can be sliced so it can be adequately layered on the flat sheets of the pasta. Maybe I’m just ignorant but it just seems like a weird choice. It works here I guess because this dish is more soup than lasagna. And when he does Thai green curry he puts in a whole bunch of mushrooms and mangetout, neither of which even belong so it just becomes a weird vegetable concoction instead of whatever he’s supposed to be making.
As a Brit I could not agree more, during the past five years Jamie has stared loosing the plot. He used to be great with Italian cooking but it seems these days he has to try and reinvent the wheel with every recipe he cooks, either that or he’s just tun out of ideas. I’ve been an avid cook of Italian food for over 30 years and I can honestly say I’ve never cooked the perfect risotto, carbonara or lasagna as there’s always room for improvement, your channel has helped massively in my quest, so thank you. I think the problem with Jamie is the Genaro and Antonio influence has worn off an now he just cooks rubbish and you were right about his restaurants, I went to one in Reading England not long before his empire collapsed and had the worst mushroom risotto I’ve ever had, it was like eating uncooked rice. Keep up the great work 👍🇬🇧
Absolutely brilliant video from a chef who knows Italian flavours. Vinenzo dissects a dumpster fire of a dish. Thanks for calling out total crap, Vincenzo. And always in a style that gives me a great chuckle. 🙂
I always thought his strength is in Italy recipe bcs of his restaurant, his love for Italian food and documentary about Italian food and culture with Giancarlo. Never thought he would make italian's ancestor cry too
I'm not against modifying recipes to suit the local tastes more, or with more affordable or available ingredients in some cases, but our man just made a cream soup, threw some pasta in it, baked it and called it lasagna! Worst thing is that what he made doesn't even look appetising for what it is. I guess he didn't put any tomato in because it's a fruit 🤷♀
"Who is better Jamie or Gordon" there's no contest. As a non-pro cook just dabble in the kitchen for years, when I watch Jamie I think "I have made better" when I watch Gordon I think "I've made similar, but not as good as that"
I'm from Reggio Emilia, i showed this recipe to my 80 years old mum, and she said she would enjoyed this "minestrone". I didn't have the guts to tell her that he's trying to cook a green lasagna.
Hi Vincenzo, I was feeling a bit down today, it's not only my birthday but I was meant to have a hip replacement today which was cancelled because I have a cold. I know Jamie is breaking your Italian heart but your reaction to him killing a classic dish has weirdly cheered me up. Keep up the good work 😀
Love the reacting video vincenzo love your content your a amazing TH-camr I love watching your videos they are the greatest and the best and the coolest your content is the greatest and the best and the coolest it always brings a smile to my face watching your content your a amazing and fantastic cook vincenzo
So Uncle Roger was always right about Jamie but I didnt want to believe him. Jamie was my inspiration but with this video he stopped inspiring me
One pot Lasagna? Isn't that called hamburger helper 🤣
Now he makes Italian ancestor crying
Jamie is a fraud, I told you before my friend. He's a crafty salesman though, selling himself first and then everything in his slipstream; overpriced restaurants, cookware, bbq stuff, microwave meals and lets not forget his traditional Green Pesto recreated by Jamie Oliver and made with the finest Italian ingredients like:

My wife, RIP, used to ask me, "....what type of slop is this..." ? That was one of those humorous husband/wife banter comments. But Really Jamie, what type of slop is this? NO Way in Hell is that a Lasagna, it's a Green Vegetable Casserole at best.
I’m right with you except he has never inspired me in any way. You on the other hand @vincenzosplate have inspired me!!!
Italian cooks: "How much flavor can we get out of just 5 ingredients?"
Jamie: "How can I make a flavorless mess out of 176 ingredients?"
In one pan!!!
I'm not the best cook but even I can make a better lasagna than Jamie Oliver. Heck, I'd eat Olive Garden lasagna before Jamie's.
176 ingredients...but it needs to be in ONE pan.
Did you try it or you just claim to “know”? Ridiculous
@@jackapps2126I mean it isn't hard to tell that it isn't a lasagna and while it may taste fine it's again not a lasagna. Also based on what we see he doesn't really add a lot of actual flavor into it.
Let it be remembered that on this day, at the moment Jamie added mustard to lasagna, Italian ancestors felt the pain that Asian ancestors felt when Jamie added chili jam to fried rice. Our ancestors are now crying in unison. In this pain, Jamie has united Italian and Asian people.
Jamie's unique culinary choices have indeed united ancestors from different cuisines in disbelief! 🍝🍚 Let's hope for tastier recipes in the future! 🙏😄
He f**ked up steak, he f**k up Italian cuisine, he f**k up Asian cuisine, he f**k up Japanese cuisine, what else he is gonna f**k up?
it's the same pain that every Greek felt when he added dill in the Greek salad...
@@vincenzosplate when your grandparents say that english food is horrible compared to others, they were talking about Jamie.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The amount of ingredients needed to create this so called lasagna is much more terrifying than cleaning up after cooking.
Tell me about it! 🙈 The ingredient list was a marathon, not a sprint! 😂 But hey, at least cleaning up is a breeze in comparison! 🍝🧽 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🇮🇹👨🍳😅
Jamie Oliver in his next video: “Today, I’m going to show you how to make a classic, old-fashioned American smash burger. So, you start off with some canned tuna…”
For the bread, you can use buns, this time I'm going to use a sliced baguette.
Forgot the leek
"You can add tomato and pickle slices, but in this case I'm adding pineapple and garlic slices".
And you forgot his favorite ingredient of all time, the olive oil.
@@toa6970 "A touch of olive oil"
I swear Jamie Oliver is the chef version of a car crash, you just can't look away as he makes everyone's ancestors cry simultaneously.
Haha! 😂 That's quite the vivid description! Let's hope his culinary journey takes a turn for the better and stops causing ancestral tears. 👨🍳😅🇮🇹
@@vincenzosplate ...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And just like a car crash he as many Rubberneck followers hahaha.
Haiyaa, his egg fried rice make my ancestor cry. Why he use chilli jam? Why?
Everyone know egg fried rice is just 3 ingredients - egg, fried and rice.
Don’t forget to use MSG in everything - it the king of flavour.
😂😂😂
It's amazing how Jamie can turn any dish in to a glorified salad.
A very sad salad though 😅
I love salad, don't disgrace salad by calling this stuff salad
Salads are edible
The word sad is in salad
Hot Salad! Gotcha Hot Salad Here!
Jamie: ...and just tear the sheets and dish out the lasagna cards.
Vicenzo: tearable.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice one 😂👍
I'm Asian and we don't tear or break out noodles unless called for on certain dishes. My heart broke when he did it...
What's hilarious to me is that he could've just replaced the meat with eggplant and then just followed everything else in the recipe traditionally and bam, vegetarian lasagna 😂
By trying to simplify, he complicated the dish 😂
Not a dish. Garbage.@@Mrparadox08
This is what creativity in cooking means! Using eggplants instead of meat is a great idea, but these “chefs” seems the don’t understand
and lasgna with eggplants is absoulutely amazing, this just looks terrible
I have an amateurish video of my eggplant lasagna on my amateurish channel. I just replaced meat with eggplants in my tomato sauce, and cooked a regular lasagna, without adding a bunch of wtf ingredients. I do use both cheddar and parmiggiano in it, so Vincenzo might still get upset :)
I actually spat my drink out around 13:50 when Jamie suggested adding pesto on top of the multitude of other flavours he'd already combined - mustard, mint, lemon, cheddar, parmesan, milk, nuts etc. Seems like Jamie's definition of lasagne is any combination of ingredients and flavours, as long as you add some lasagne sheets.
It’s ok- in common with most bottled pesto, Jamie’s pesto is mostly cashew nuts and sunflower oil.
It's like he can't figure out what recipe he wanted to make. Is this a Pesto Lasagna? Is this a white lasagna? Who knows? He certainly doesn't.
Simply put: he's not a cook, he's a butcher with a bare minimum ability to cook water, nothing more. And even water he can cook it bad
Jamie made a veggie soup, not a lasagna. This was disturbing.
Fully agree with you my friend 👏🏻👏🏻
I don't know what it is, porridge or soup or something else for which the English language doesn't have a word yet. The Dutch language does: prutje. Which means everything smashed together.
@@fransbuijs808slop
Back in the day my Grandma would have called this a casserole gone haywire - with real haywire. Hard to chew and hard to swallow.
@@fransbuijs808We call it a concoction in Scotland.
Short shreadded lasagna sheets are basically "maltagliati", which is a different cut of pasta. It's not lasagna, as Vincenzo said, just because you start from a package of lasagna sheets. Lasagna needs layers, he's making maltagliati with mac&cheese sauce and some veggies (and random crazy shit like mint, lemon and mustard)
I have never liked Jamie's style of cooking and this recipe highlights why. He is definitely a successful TV cook but Vincenzo is ABSOLUTELY right about everything in this video. If this was served to you without knowing what it was, you would never guess it to be lasagna of any kind including the pasta. How in God's name does someone add mustard to that vegetable mush and then have the audacity to call it lasagna. Bravo Vincenzo. You are constructively critical without offending anyone and are always entertaining.
Thanks a million for the support! 🙌 I'm just here to keep it real, and Jamie's creations do leave us scratching our heads sometimes! 😂 Stay tuned for more entertaining critiques! 🍽️👨🍳🤣
Same here. He has a nice presentation. But I really am not a fan of him overdoing the dish with strong spices. Or simply making existing dishes too weird.
Someone needs to offend Jamie Oliver back to fish and chips.
😂😂😂 thought it was just me hating on him.
If Jack would make this as a ""lazy lasagna"" I would find it more believable. Because that Jamie is making this is unbelievable.
You have a point! 🤔 "Lazy lasagna" might be a more fitting title for this concoction. Sometimes, the authenticity of a dish is essential. Let's hope for more genuine Italian flavors in the future. 🇮🇹👨🍳😄
Lazy lasagna would be using boxed lasgana sheets, pre made tomato sauce from a jar and pre shredded cheese from a bag. This is just a pasta casserole gone wrong.
There are two different problems, which we should keep separate.
1. What Jamie Oliver made is clearly not lasagna. We did not even need Vincenzo to explain why not -- this dish does not faintly resemble lasagna. (What if Uncle Roger threw some torn up lasagna noodles into his egg fried rice? Could he say, "Hiya, now I have made lasagna!"???
2. It is disgusting. The flavors, as Vincenzo pointed out, are just not harmonious. Milk, mustard, pesto, and mint??? Really? (Not to mention the cheddar and parmaggiano, and the almonds.) All of those flavors are good, but come on, they just don't go together.
@@knighterrant5772 i mean combining cheddar and parmaggiano is pretty common in america but yeah besides that the flavors make no sense
Who’s Jack?
I’m not an Italian but I totally feel your pain, nobody should treat traditional food like this.
Mint, lemon and mustard wtf...
With milk, cheese and pesto 🤕
Jamie Oliver is my inspiration too...he inspires me to order from a good restaurant because he cooks like he's never tasted food before
Haha, it seems Jamie Oliver's cooking can inspire different reactions! Sometimes, ordering from a restaurant is the way to go when culinary adventures take an unexpected turn. Here's to enjoying delicious meals, whether cooked at home or ordered in! 🍽️😄
@@vincenzosplate Jaime is an inspiration for all potential future chefs. You first watch what Jaime does, question every decision he makes. Then watch reaction videos to validate if professional chefs agree with what you had identified as a questionable. Improve yourself as a chef by learning what NOT to do!
Hahahaha, word.
He's a better cook than you can ever hope to be.
@@daanamelink7148 how would you know?
Jamie used to be an incredible chef, made lots of recipes that were simple and tasty ( my mum still has a little binder of his recipes that you got from Sainsbury's un the 90's) then he went nuts with healthy food (which is great, nearly everyone could stand to eat healthier) and in maybe the last ten or so years he lost his damn mind. This isnt even lasagna, it's just a nasty soup. Theres no way that flour is cooked properly
Totally get what you're saying! 🤣 Jamie's been on quite the culinary journey. 🍝🥗 This "lasagna" had us scratching our heads too! 🤨👨🍳 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🇮🇹👌
Jamie's new show: How Not To Cook
Let's give Vincenzo some hugs 🤗, it's really hurt to see someone we admire than fell into the darkness 🤗
😂😂🫶
When I tried to cleaning up my fridge and pantry, I did exactly what Jamie Oliver did. However, it wouldn’t served 6 people, just only served one person, myself.I wouldn’t allow my family eat something like that.
Fun fact: For lasagna Jamie use butter, but for asian food he use olive oil. What's wrong with him?
Maybe he used up his peanut oil to make an English breakfast lol.
Eh, from what I've heard from Uncle Roger butter isn't all too common in Asian food anyways, but idk about that. My dad's side of the family is Filipino and my aunts, grandma, and him will use butter as fat in, like, eggs. Though they do use plenty of normal oil as well.
@@dominicballinger6536 I think butter is way more common in asian food than olive oil (butter chicken for example)
@MINIMMOBI I meant oil in general, my family uses vegetable oil. And I'm pretty sure that they don't use much olive oil in the Fillipines.
My grandma used to make a veggie lasagna. She just made a regular lasagna with a bunch of fresh veggies like brokkoli and stuff, made a classic bechamel and put it all together in classic lasagna style. Just by looking at whatever Jamie does here, I can tell my grandma nailed it, Jamie has no clue what he´s doing.
Our grandmas always did the best recipes ❤
There is "Dried Soya Granulat" out there wich makes a Decent Vegan Filler for this Kind of Dish...🤷
@@vincenzosplateI like to make a roast vegetable lasagne using spinach pasta and topped with a 'bechamel' that's half ricotta, and crumbled feta on top. May not be traditional but the slightly sharp / fresh taste pairs off well with the rich slightly sweet vegetables.
I'm Dutch. And we love mashed up dishes. But I appreciate Italian cuisine enough to think this is horrible.
Even as a lover of mashed dishes, this is a lasagna disaster! 🙅♂️🍝 Italians would be shaking their heads in disbelief! 😂🇮🇹
Have you had hutspot?
@@BlueberryyymuffinHutspot with rookworst and mustard is amazing
@@supersquat never had it with mustard, is that traditional?
@@Blueberryyymuffin it depends on who you ask. Some people like it with mustard, and some don't. Gravy is very traditional though.
I like to put some mustard on the rookworst at the end.
“We cook, we eat, we wash”…bravo!
Just great and of course true. A labor of love. 😊
Exactly, something Jamie's woke producer and audience are too thick to understand.
When I first watched Jamie he was this young, energized chef who made every recipe look easy to make at home. I saw some of his trips to Italy, discovered some very regional products. Watched him cooking with Genaro.
That last thing pains me the most. He was trained by Genaro, a very good and genuine Italian chef. I use his recipe for pizza dough as it is tasty, easy to make and just gorgeous.
Sad that Jamie is now basically tarnishing all this experience and legacy.
It's understandable that you have a sense of disappointment, especially when you've seen Jamie's earlier work and his collaborations with chefs like Gennaro. The evolution of a chef's style and approach can sometimes take unexpected turns, and not all experiments are successful. It's a testament to the importance of staying true to culinary roots and expertise. 🍕👨🍳
He's collapsed under the gravity of his own ego. He thinks because he is who he is that he can just declare anything to be so and it is whilst completely ignoring tradition and common sense.
You can see it in the way he talks about cheap foods and the way he tries to politically interfere here in the UK. For example the sugar tax, man couldn't possibly come up with an initiative to make healthy food cheaper. No, it had to be one that made the food that poverty stricken families rely on more expensive.
I used to like Jamie Oliver but he's just insufferable
@@benammiswifttbh, poor families should be priced out of poor nutritional options, especially when frozen veg is from £1 a bag. Same as the sugar tax. As for his political activism, he's campaigned for nutritious school dinners. You actually got a problem with that?
@@philwill0123 Yes. I was at school after he did he interfering. The snacks were literally like, Pizza, Bacon Cheese Tomato Bagels, Paninis the same and you could buy as much as you wanted. They were always dripping with grease. there was also no limit of how much you could buy.
I'm not entirely sure how that equates to Jamie's new health eating / nutrition campaign.
He also just absolutely slaughters cuisines however he sees fit now and he does these "3 ingredient" recipes or whatever which is an incredible half truth when he does stuff like adding premade canned soup. It's then not at all 4 ingredients.
I just don't like that he pisses around with food that means stuff to people, whether it be cheap food keeping poverty stricken families alive or dearly loved cuisines from people's country and he does it as he feels like with no respect for what anyone but himself feels
@@philwill0123imagine saying "poor families should be priced out of poor nutritional value foods"
You're a psycho.
About half way through the video, Vincenzo's face was not angry anymore, he was sad and dissapointed.
Yes my friend, I was absolutely disappointed, so sad to watch Jamie making such a bad recipe!
He is annoying as heck
He got emotional damage
I'll never understand the British obsession with peas, and most of my family's British. Him and Gordon are always shoving peas into Italian food. They're not a bad vegetable, they're fine, it's just so weird to me that they seem to think everything needs peas.
It's quite interesting how British chefs sometimes incorporate peas into dishes where they might not traditionally belong! 😄 Peas do have their place in various cuisines, but as you mentioned, it can be a bit of an unexpected addition in Italian dishes. Culinary creativity knows no bounds! 🍝🇮🇹😂
Cheap and adds good fibre 🙂
Spaghetti with peas is great though
@@lillexus5589 yeah I don't have a problem with peas, it's just weird to me that I've seen several videos of Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay, and others adding them to recipes where they don't really belong traditionally, like stir fries and pasta. They seem to be the favourite veg of England, which I don't really get
@@lillexus5589 I cannot think of many starters or main meals that would be ruined by adding garden peas tbh.
They go with just about every cuisine you can think of, from Chinese to Irish.
This dude seriously made a vegetable bechamel with lasagna sheets sprinkled on top and is trying to call it a lasagna? Is he that far gone that he thinks if the recipe has lasagna noodles it’s a lasagna?
I have made my fair share of both white and red sauce lasagnas, and I have never used mustard, EVER. That flavor just sounds disgusting for a lasagna. Also have never used pesto or almonds. A vegetarian lasagna is fine to make, but what are those vegetables? Peas, beans and asparagus? That sounds like a British vegetable mix. I always use vegetables like zucchini, yellow squash, butternut squash if it’s in season, mushrooms. I have never dumped frozen vegetables into my sauce, all that added moisture… ugh!! And finally, an Italian dish and the only herb used is mint??? Where is the garlic? Thyme? Oregano?
I’m actually pissed off after watching this, it’s a complete mockery of one of the most classic Italian dishes.
No he made ramen with soba noodles so that's not it either lol.
@donwald3436 beat me to it, honestly. Between butter less Butter Chicken, and Ramenless Ramen, Jamie actually using Lasagna sheets is more accurately making Lasagne than usual for him. He STILL didn't make Lasagne, but he managed to do one thing right before tearing pasta in half.
I am far away from being Italian, but today I felt the pain of the whole nation. Adding pesto made some emotional damage even for me! Why on earth this mad man did that? I was highly inspired by Genaro, tried many of his creations and now Jamie, who's also one of Genaro's students comes with that mess
Haha! 😂 Glad you had a good laugh! 🙌 Jamie's English mustard surprise is one for the books! 🇬🇧🍝
Product placement
It's so weird that he was your inspiration. I have yet to see him make something I want to eat. You, on the other hand, have been my inspiration to start cooking Italian food and you haven't failed me yet.
I'm truly honored to have inspired your love for Italian cooking! 🇮🇹 It's all about sharing the passion for delicious, authentic dishes. If you ever need recipes or cooking tips, feel free to reach out. Grazie mille! 🍝👨🍳
A lot of his early recipes were actually genuinely tasty. It's when he got it into his head he's some expert of world cuisine / jumped on the 'healthier version of everything' bandwagon that shit went downhill. Unfortunately that's all he's been doing for the past several years and is getting deserved stick for it.
I have learnt how to cook authentic Bolognese from Jamie's website back in 2011. It truly is saddening to see him go down this path and I hope he gets back on track.
Jamie is the personification of "i already made a billion dollars but my manager tells me i should keep putting out quick/healthy recipe recipe videos"
Nothing healthy about butter and loads of cheddar 😅
Ah, Jamie, the king of quick and healthy recipes! 👑💡 Sometimes it's all about that balance between creativity and what the audience wants. 😅🍏
@@jman9838 no, go eat sugar then
He is just phoning it in now and churning out crap.
Well a vaneer of healthiness
Chef! Did you hear?! Chef James Makinson made a lasagna video and requested you review it! YES!!! My two favorite Chefs doing something together makes me so happy!!! Please understand he used what he could get based on where he was and he clarifies that several times, but it still looks excellent and the techniques used were spot on! Please make this your next review video!!!
The thing about Jaimie is that he completely misses the most basic pillars of Italian cuisine: few quality ingredients, cooked to perfection, allowing each flavour to individually shine.
What Jamie did is, again, complete crap.
You're absolutely spot on! Italian cuisine thrives on simplicity and quality, and Jamie's approach, well, let's just say it's quite the spectacle! 🇮🇹😄
@@vincenzosplate Hi Please do a spot with the pasta queen.
When he said I just like to add a bit of pesto after adding 100 ingredients, I spat my coffee out laughing.
Omg! I spit out my soup! Lot was too funny!
when he did that,i was like fuck it, its not like it could possibly do anything to that horrible hot dish that is in no way a lasanga.
He badly broke the two major rules I've learned over the years while cooking: less is more - don't use too many ingredients, and take time to cook ingredients separately
There's also something to be said for cooking stuff together in a single pot. Still takes time. In those one-pot-recipes usually quite a bit.
Only Jamie would add mustard to lasagna 😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry, Vincenzo, I'm Mexican, and Jamie was never my inspiration since he messed up with Mexican food. The first time I watched Jamie Oliver was when he made a Mexican dish... he doesn't know how to make proper Mexican food at all, I was disgusted. I think he should limit himself to what he knows how to do right and not mess with the food from other cultures.
I agree, I'm also from México and Jamie always makes a mess when he tries to make a Mexican dish.
I'm a Mexican chef and I can say that this is very true.
Like their disgusting bangers and mash
Do you know a TH-cam channel that has good Mexican food?
Don't let Jamie close to our beloved Mexican food.
His egg fried rice made uncle roger ancestor cry. He's definitely making Vincenzo ancestor cry right now.
I think I lost it when he just ripped and tossed in those lasagna sheets. It might not have been so bad had he properly layered it with the sauce, but it just ended up being a sloppy, soupy mess.
Oh yeah, and the mustard too😂
Oh, the horror! 😂 Ripping lasagna sheets and adding mustard? That's a recipe for chaos, not lasagna! 🙈 Let's stick to the Italian classics, shall we? 🇮🇹🍝👍
in sweden we can buy a mix with Spice and some type of dried pasta( kindof shredded lasagne sheets) but atleast package says "lasagnette"
It looks like a half burnt mess. Not good
I screamed irl when he ripped those sheets
It reminds me of when he made his disastrous ramen and added tofu by just tearing apart a block of tofu rather than cut it into nice cubes.
5:06 when that hand gesture comes out from an Italian, you know you fcked up.
I'll suggest him to do experiments on British dishes only. Then less risk for him to be embarrassed in a case of failure like this one. I made the same error of "a million different ingredients in the same dish", but I was 10 years old. Since then, I have kept traditional recipes in very small conversions and even this sometimes I regret it. Simplicity is the only safe side of cooking.
You make a great point! Simplicity often leads to the most delicious and reliable results in cooking. Jamie might want to stick to British dishes for his culinary experiments to avoid unexpected surprises! 🍽️😊
Jamie should blodily take his retirement. This food is simply disgusting . A Cow wouldn't eat it (sorry India)
You nailed it. People need to stick to what they really know, which is usually their traditional cuisine. I have a food blog for Creole/Southern food that has a section on Chinese food, but I'm really clear that it's American style versions of common Chinese take out. Stay in your lane is good advice.
most italian dishes are quite „simple“ but they let the fantastic ingredients shine. tomatoes from heaven, cheese like mouthwatering parmigiano, pecorino, mozzarella, grade a pasta, basil, soffritto…simple but good. that‘s the secret. only the best things in->great output.
Because these dishes are very old and traditional. I guess if something would be wrong with them, they wouldn't have this tradition
"This will serve six people really nicely". "Really...? I think you can serve six *dogs*-!" WOOF-! (Poor Jamie... what happened to you, mate-??!!)
Hahaha omg this is so accurate my friend 😂 I laughed a lot!!
My only issue with that comment was what does Vincenzo have against the poor dogs. My dog would take one sniff of this and walk away! 😂
@@Kcirrotone sniff and got diarrhoea 😂
Feeding this to dogs would be animal cruelty
I’m sorry. I stopped after he added the pasta. That looks nasty. I wouldn’t eat it, or make it. 🤷
To be fair, Jamie DOES always quench our hunger, by ruining our appetite completely and making us not want to eat ever again
Haha, it seems Jamie Oliver's culinary experiments can have quite the appetite-suppressing effect! 😄 Let's hope for more appetite-pleasing recipes in the future! 🍽️😅
yoninovkolodny - Ah, the old Jamie Oliver diet. Better than Keto.
The Jamie Oliver school of weight loss
Oh cry me a freakin river. Why don't you lay down for a bit until your hysteria passes?
@@vincenzosplate Jamie's diet food. Best way to kill an appetite. Sad, because he has made some good dishes, but I think he's trying too hard to be relevant by sacrificing authenticity and integrity..
IMHO
Mint and mustard in lasagna ?! My ancestors are dead anyway...
Terrible idea to mix that!
I had a discussion with my wife a while ago why it seemed that the same recipe Jamie made like a decade ago were so much better than the same recipes he makes in his more contemporary programs. Our conclusion was that he simply doesn't design his own recipes any longer. He has a team that test things, and he is just the brand in front of the camera. Regardless of the reason however it's a real shame. Also I think Gordon is better, at least he gives the impression he wants to learn things.
Its the other way around 😂
I think that he is trying to be more "relatable" like things you might have in your freezer, (maybe more like in the uk) make cooking easy for them, but he is calling these recipes like if they were the original thing with a little variation, which they are not. I think the concept of getting regional ingridients instead of the originals its interesting as some of them are hard to find or really expensive (where i live it's really hard to find mozzarella made with buffalo milk for example, or just real mozzarella) but he just destroy every recipe lol maybe they taste good... but nothing like the original thing
Gordon clearly loves cooking and does appear as if he is looking to refine his craft. But that is how you become the best in your field.
Creative people of all sorts eventually run out of ideas, typically when they reach a certain level of success. Hunger is a great motivator for a young starving artist, but then he gets rich and that motivator is gone. This is why great bands that are together for too long eventually start to suck; it's hard to be "metal" when you're living in a lakeside mansion with a wife and three kids and a yacht.
Now, for a musician, this isn't that big a deal. You can coast on what you've already created; people will still pay good money to see you perform your older songs, which they still love. They'll still watch your music videos on TH-cam for a little residual income. And it's been proven by science that as people grow older, they don't really enjoy listening to new music anymore. Put out a few great albums, and you've got fans for life who will continue to support you forever.
Food is different. People are always interested in new food experiences. Maybe not new cuisines, but at least a little twist on an old favorite. Also, unlike music, once you know how to make Gordon's beef Wellington, you don't need to keep watching videos of Gordon making beef Wellington to enjoy it. So, big-time celebrity chefs like Jamie and Gordon have to keep cranking out new content, new ideas, if they want to keep generating those views and making that money. And sometimes... those new ideas are bad.
I think guys like Vincenzo are in a good position for the long term. He mixes showing you how to make classic Italian dishes the proper way with reacting to other people trying to put new twists on those dishes. And he's pretty open-minded about people experimenting with his beloved Italian cuisine. One thing I see him saying a lot in his reaction videos is, basically, "Well, that's not traditional, but it looks pretty good; I'd give it a try." He didn't do that here, though, and for good reason. This is not lasagna; this is a creamy British vegetable stew with an odd flavor profile that just happens to have a few lasagna sheets thrown in. Vincenzo is right to feel insulted by Jamie calling it lasagna.
@@santiagooehler Man get outta here, no one thinks for a second one pan veggie lasagna is anything like the 'original'. I hate when people get so anal about sticking to tradition or 'how it should be made', just imagine gatekeeping foof ffs...seems pathetic IMO.
It's called a casserole.
Yeah I know, and I HATE casseroles!
@@vincenzosplategood opinion
Thing is if it’s a pasta casserole then it’s done the wrong way. There’s a right way and wrong way to do a pasta casserole and he failed big time 👎🏻
@@suzie_lovescats I think one could make a pretty good casserole from some of these ingredients. The problem is as Vincenzo points out there are too many conflicting flavors and ingredients.
It's called a lot of things.
Jamie's philosophy of cooking. "Throw every jar of food into one pan" including Mustard, Chili Jam or whatever you have. 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Yeah, maybe he was trying to clear his fridge with this recipe 😅
- And jam, and 2 shovels of charcoal, and watermelon with margarine, and half of squid... And 3 blossomed cacti..
This recipe is like something out of matrix - an anomaly..
I'm used to Jaime offending other cultures, but I can't believe he'd break Vincenzo's heart like this. 😢
It's true that Jamie has ventured into many culinary territories, and this time, it seems even Italian cuisine couldn't escape his unique approach. Let's hope he can mend any broken culinary hearts and get back to the kitchen traditions we all love! 🇮🇹🍝
By the end he somehow made a burnt veggie soup while attempting lasagna…. Truly impressive
Impressive indeed! 🤣 It's like he embarked on a culinary adventure and ended up somewhere unexpected. Let's hope he finds his way back to delicious lasagna soon! 🍅🧀🇮🇹😄
I’m starting to think being on TV ruins a chef. Jamie is a prime example of this
It's true that fame can sometimes lead chefs down unconventional culinary paths! 😅 Jamie's TV journey has certainly been eventful. 📺🍽️
He's not even a chef, he's just a lucky guy who got an oppurtinity with his first show and it took off. There wasn't much of this content back than, I remember watching his show on TV as a kid.
Jamie Oliver reminds me of Graham Kerr, aka The Galloping Gourmet. He was one of the most famous chefs in the world and his show was entertaining - but he was a crap chef.@@sL1NK
Therapist: "Italian Uncle Roger doesn't exist, he can't hurt you!"
The Italian Uncle Roger:
jamie is so gifted he’s managed to burn a lasagna soup
"bad drunken British 'chef' fake lasagna diarrhea"
so fake right now
Now you know why Uncle Roger hates Jamie Oliver. 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
It took Vincenzo a while, and now he gets it!!
Jamie made such a complicated dish when he's actually supposed to make cooking approachable.
He's so nervous about making simple food, he constantly feels the need to cover his mistakes with more ingredients.
In the end I think Vincenzo is right, there's too many flavors in there and none of them get to shine.
You've made an insightful observation! Jamie's intention to make cooking approachable can sometimes lead to overly complicated dishes, and adding more ingredients to cover mistakes can indeed result in a crowded flavor profile. Simplicity often allows each ingredient to shine. Let's hope for recipes that strike the right balance in the future! 🍝👨🍳😄
😂😅😢😂
Exactly. Not only physically, but also flavor-wise lasagna already is a dish with multiple layers: the umami of meat (or an appropriate vegetarian alternative like eggplant or mushrooms or pumpkin), the fresh acidity & sweetness of tomatoes, the salty tang of hard cheese, the pasta to give everything structure, and creamy bechamel to bring it all together. It took generations to balance this combination into the dish we all know and love today. Yet it still has a refreshing simplicity behind all its complexity, because every ingredient has a place, a purpose - that's what makes Italian cuisine (and many others) so great: it lets the ingredients shine.
So why on earth would you want to confuse the palate with even more different flavors and textures, haphazardly thrown together? Peas? Mint?! Mustard?!? WTF!
A woman in England has a channel on TH-cam called Titli's Busy Kitchen, she made a lasagna with leeks and not only did it look like an actual lasagna, i think the execution was alot better than how Jamie did. I'd recommend checking her out.
She also made a vegetarian lasagna too.
I can't lie, when I saw the title I was thinking "yeah Vincenzo's overreacting, he probably just used the wrong cheese and added a little bit of milk or something" but when I watched the video I realized Vincenzo was totally right. This is a cream of vegetable soup, not a lasagna. And the mustard 😭
A bad cream of vegetable soup. Take out the peas, beans, pasta, one of the cheeses, lemon, mint, the flour, switch the milk for cream and maybe add a bit of cayenne or red pepper and you'd have a nice cream of leek and asparagus soup
The number of ingredients is a symptom of a failed dish that got patched up to the point of insanity, because nothing adds up. I've done that many times, I know how this works.
You've got a keen eye for culinary detective work! Sometimes, too many ingredients can be a sign of a dish gone awry. It's all about finding that perfect balance and harmony in flavors. 🍳🔍
if im cooking for myself, ill go wild, and suffer the result, if i am teaching how to cook crap, my name is oliver
Food is food, no matter the amount of ingredients
@@rickyinglis9292 not all mixture of letters make words, same goes for food.
@@rickyinglis9292 Just because you threw in a grotesquely large amount of ingredients into a bowl and 'cooked' them haphazardly does not mean you created something edible, much less tasty or nutritious.
I feel like this dish alone offended the whole of Italy 😂
Haha! 🇮🇹😅 It might have, but we can't let bad Italian dishes slide! Let's celebrate the real flavors of Italy! 🍝👌
One thing that I've learned about the Italians is that DO NOT DISRESPECT their food. Ever. They take it personally and I love that.
😂 Uncle Roger reaction in between is hilarious
Red Alarm
Leek, mustard, mint horror
Next JO recipe will be "take what you have in the fridge, slice, throw in a pan, add cheddar, cook and finish with pesto drops and chili jam.
Haha, sounds like a Jamie Oliver-style fridge raid recipe! 😄 You never know, it might turn out surprisingly tasty! 🍽️👨🍳
I'm not calling my lasagna 'authentic', but its made with ragu, mozzarella, and ricotta between layers of pasta. I've never seen a lasagna made with leeks, flour, butter, mustard, milk, cheddar, asparagus, peas, beans, mint, almonds, and pesto. It looks like a casserole to me, not a lasagna.
The inedible dog slop he concocted is this ---> 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I feel like uncle Roger needs to react to Vincenzo reacting to this recipe haha that would be amazing to watch! Haha I love these guys❤
I just love your channel and the way you explain Italian food.. I am from Europe, and here they still mess up italian food, even pizza.. and my favorite food is italian.... keep on going dude!
Povero Vicenzo! Mi fai ridere! As a fellow Italian, I'm sorry you had to witness this. I love watching your reactions to Jamie - it makes my year! Being an Australian born into an Italian family, I lived in Italy for 4 years from 2018 to 2022. I understood how less is more in Italian cooking and how pedantic the Italians are with their cooking. When Australians eat, it's because it's time to eat. When the Italians eat - it's an event! Back living in Melbourne now, I've used your 2023 Carbonara recipe and I've been cooking it at least once a week for friends and they say it's the best Carbonara they've ever tasted. So Grazie Vincenzo! I love your channel - keep up the good work. E va cagga Jamie! :)
Also, Jamie making you scared of washing up is absolutely mad.
It's like trying to make an omelette without breaking an egg. You just can't do that.
Come on Jamie,you are a master chef,you can't go wrong with lasagna,you made disappointed to lasagna lovers indeed!
That's not what he's doing. He's showing that people who don't want/can't clean up all of those dishes can still make a great dish. 🙄
Especially since he has a whole studio support crew which does all the washing and cleaning up for him.
@@tianamarie989 except it isn't a great dish. It's a nondescript (we might even call it "random" or "confused") veggie stew with some pasta sheets thrown in. There is nothing creative, innovative, or even time-saving in it.
Making a proper lasagna would have used one, maybe two more pots, and would have taken about the same time (not the best lasagna in that short time, but absolutely doable). So what? - Just wash them up while the lasagna is in the oven. If you cannot spare the 30 seconds to do that, the 20 minutes it takes to prepare this dish would most probably be too long as well.
@@stephanweinberger I've made *steamed* lasagne and I had to use at least 2 cookwares (a pot and, well, steamer, bare minimum).
P.S: steaming is surprisingly not as wet as it sounds. 😅
Jamie is a great actor, to pretend what he made tasted good at the end is Oscar worthy!
Jamie's got some serious acting skills in the kitchen! 🎬😂 Let's hope he sticks to his strengths, and we can enjoy his entertaining cooking experiments. 🍝👨🍳😄
I've seen several of Jamie's videos where the dish he is tasting at the end bears no resemblance to the thing he cooked.
Oh, he's also a decent cook - as long as he stays with English cuisine. There are some older shows with him where he does some amazing pies and other traditional English/British dishes. It's when he tries to apply those ideas, techniques and ingredients to foreign food where the problems start.
He just seems very stuck in one way of cooking, one cuisine, and tries to shoehorn it into everything.
This is not lasagne, this is a one pot bucket of sick with some flour, hot fat and mustard stirred in🤢.
I agree! What Jamie is making is a casserole, but I would definitely not call it a lasagna. I do on sometimes make a version that uses Zucchini slices, the same red sauce I would make for regular lasagna minus the sausage, and of course the cheeses and pasta.
Your version with zucchini sounds delicious and actually resembles lasagna! 🤤 Jamie's "lasagna" is a casserole gone wrong! 😂🍝
The strangest thing about these people is just the fact that they make some mixtures (mixing a lot of things with a lot of different tastes that in the end one doesn't know what that dish tastes like) and then put the name of a classic Italian dish. This is something that I never understood !
Yeah this was a real example of that, but often he makes a version of the dish and never uses the word authentic at all (at least from what I’ve seen) and yet people still get all triggered in the comments 😂. What is the point of having anyone else have a recipe for a dish if you’re only “allowed” to make the authentic version? It’s like saying you can only cover a song a if you sing it EXACTLY the same way as the original
@@kJ922-h3jaren't he mentioned lasagna many times. He is not cooking lasagna, why call lasagna.
"My disappointment is immeasurable... and my day is ruined"
🙈🙈🙈🤢
Vincenzo, when Jamie said "this will absolutely be like lasagna" I screamed at the same time you did. I love your channel.
Ahahah we are besties now!!!
Legend has it Jamie is still adding optional ingredients to his so called “lasagna” to this day
Haha, Jamie's lasagna adventure is the stuff of legends! 🍛📜 Who knows what he'll add next? We'll keep watching and critiquing, for better or for "lasagna." 😄🇮🇹👨🍳
@@vincenzosplate 😆
now he's adding some cream and chocolate in it, because why not making it a desert at the same time 😅
@@stephanewantiez164 😆 don’t forget the tablespoon of cinnamon on top, just to give it that pizzazz ✨
He does not play up with Italian food. He plays up with Nonna's food. Anything coming out of it Italy comes from Nonna....except Jamie's recipes.
Nonna's food is often regarded as the heart and soul of Italian cuisine, and many cherish the authenticity and tradition it represents. It's clear that Jamie's recipes can sometimes take quite creative liberties with Italian dishes. Staying true to the Nonna's style is a great way to preserve those cherished culinary traditions! 🍝🇮🇹😊
I know a few Gen X-ers who are still totally enthralled by Jamie's recipes. "We did a Jamie Oliver!". If you scour the backroad TV channels in the UK you find his earliest 'bish bash bosh' cookery shows. He was a loud, oiky London barrow boy done good. Skip a few series and he's suddenly made a few bob and living out in the country, dressing like an apprentice game keeper and cooking pheasants and ducks. Then he tried to save all British school children and came up with increasingly bizarre ideas for shows. I remember one series he went to Italy, rocked up at a monastery and was visibly crying because the monks weren't eating his 'badabing' idea of Italian cuisine. He was like a missionary trying to get Italians to fall back in love with his idea of Italian cooking (how did that restaurant chain pan out??). The ego on the guy is off the charts, but hidden behind a superficial matey charm.
Haha, your Gen X friends have quite the journey with Jamie! 😄🍴 It's funny how he transformed from a London barrow boy to a countryside chef. And yes, his Italian escapades were quite a spectacle! 🇮🇹 The "badabing" mission didn't quite hit the mark. 😅 But hey, he keeps things interesting, right? 📺👨🍳
"Uncle Roger I wanna be your bestfriend now" LMAO 🤣
All these guys making “vegetarian” lasagna like you can’t just do a nice pomodoro layered between noodles, bechamel, fresh mozzarella and parmigiano/pecorino.
You're absolutely right! A classic vegetarian lasagna with tomato sauce, bechamel, fresh mozzarella, and cheese is not only delicious but also a wonderful way to enjoy the flavors of Italy. Sometimes simplicity and tradition are all you need for a fantastic dish. 🍅🧀🍝😋
@@vincenzosplate it’s my go to lasagna since I quit drinking and have yet to formulate a stock that can replace wine in my ragus🫤
Dammit, just reading that makes me go hmmm...😋
In the old days Jamie Oliver got it right 9 out of 10 times but recently he has been making weird recipes.
It's not uncommon for chefs to experiment and evolve their cooking styles over time. Sometimes, those experiments might result in recipes that are a bit unconventional. Hopefully, Jamie Oliver will continue to delight with more traditional and well-received recipes as well! 🍽️😄
Jamie Oliver helped me make an excellent shepherd's pie ... with lamb as appropriate... I am sad that he doesn't respect other cultural foods.
I think it’s because he’s becoming more and more of a health nut. Every video I’ve seen of him recently has him putting a LOT of vegetables in whatever he is cooking. Often the vegetables he uses are weird choices for the dish he’s making.
Like this one for example. Who puts peas in a lasagna? Whenever I’ve seen a vegetable lasagna it’s usually made with something that can be sliced so it can be adequately layered on the flat sheets of the pasta. Maybe I’m just ignorant but it just seems like a weird choice. It works here I guess because this dish is more soup than lasagna.
And when he does Thai green curry he puts in a whole bunch of mushrooms and mangetout, neither of which even belong so it just becomes a weird vegetable concoction instead of whatever he’s supposed to be making.
As a Brit I could not agree more, during the past five years Jamie has stared loosing the plot. He used to be great with Italian cooking but it seems these days he has to try and reinvent the wheel with every recipe he cooks, either that or he’s just tun out of ideas. I’ve been an avid cook of Italian food for over 30 years and I can honestly say I’ve never cooked the perfect risotto, carbonara or lasagna as there’s always room for improvement, your channel has helped massively in my quest, so thank you. I think the problem with Jamie is the Genaro and Antonio influence has worn off an now he just cooks rubbish and you were right about his restaurants, I went to one in Reading England not long before his empire collapsed and had the worst mushroom risotto I’ve ever had, it was like eating uncooked rice. Keep up the great work 👍🇬🇧
Get a huge empire thinks he the best this man need a ego check
I went to York, England the day his restaurants was closed, so I was not disappointed and got some delicious food at another place.
Absolutely brilliant video from a chef who knows Italian flavours. Vinenzo dissects a dumpster fire of a dish. Thanks for calling out total crap, Vincenzo. And always in a style that gives me a great chuckle. 🙂
I always thought his strength is in Italy recipe bcs of his restaurant, his love for Italian food and documentary about Italian food and culture with Giancarlo. Never thought he would make italian's ancestor cry too
I'm not against modifying recipes to suit the local tastes more, or with more affordable or available ingredients in some cases, but our man just made a cream soup, threw some pasta in it, baked it and called it lasagna! Worst thing is that what he made doesn't even look appetising for what it is. I guess he didn't put any tomato in because it's a fruit 🤷♀
"I think you can serve 6 dogs because no one deserves food like this" HAHAHAHA brutal. LOVE IT! In all seriousness, this legit looks disgusting.
I believe even dogs wouldn’t want to eat it
The way you went noo nooo noooo was so Italian hahahaha👍🏻🤣
I'd love to see more of you with Uncle Roger in videos together.
Oh, Uncle Roger and I would make quite the dynamic duo! 🤣 Let's make it happen, and we'll bring the laughs and food critiques together! 🥢🍽️
Wow....Jaime is trully falling hard. Both our asian and mediterraan uncle dislike him more and more
Oh, poor Jamie! It seems he's ruffling feathers across the culinary world. Let's hope he finds his way back to everyone's hearts soon! 🍽️🤣
Jamie is a humanitarian. He is uniting all world cultures. By giving us an enemy to unite against. 😂
That was horrible to watch... But I'm excited for your take on a veggie lasagna Vincenzo!
Thanks for your support! 😄 Get ready for some delicious and authentic veggie lasagna on my channel soon! 🇮🇹🍆 Stay tuned! 😁👍
Eggplant Lasagna is the best 🤤🤤🤤
@@vincenzosplateAwesome! Can't wait.
"Who is better Jamie or Gordon" there's no contest. As a non-pro cook just dabble in the kitchen for years, when I watch Jamie I think "I have made better" when I watch Gordon I think "I've made similar, but not as good as that"
I'm not from Italy but watching Jaimie cook lasagna makes my heart hurt... such a waste of ingredients.
Absolutely, it's painful to see good ingredients go to waste in the name of creativity! Let's cherish the true flavors of Italy! 🍝🇮🇹❤️😄
3:54. Man I never laugh so hard in my life. Vincenzo you are the best
So Uncle Roger is always right along the way 😂
😂😂😂
....aaaand Subscribed. This was all I was waiting for. I just couldn't understand how you didn't see through that hack.
Wow . . . Vincenzo even gives Gordon a compliment over Jamie
😂😂😂😂
You know Jamie f*** up bad when Vincenzo is saying Gordon is a better chef 😂
I'm from Reggio Emilia, i showed this recipe to my 80 years old mum, and she said she would enjoyed this "minestrone". I didn't have the guts to tell her that he's trying to cook a green lasagna.
Hi Vincenzo, I was feeling a bit down today, it's not only my birthday but I was meant to have a hip replacement today which was cancelled because I have a cold. I know Jamie is breaking your Italian heart but your reaction to him killing a classic dish has weirdly cheered me up. Keep up the good work 😀
Jamie Oliver: Now this italian lasagne wont exactly be traditional...
*builds Ford Pinto*
The difference between chefs and cooks is that only one of the two has standards for its recepies.
You've got it spot on! 🍳👨🍳 Chefs set the standards, while others just follow recipes. Let's uphold those culinary standards! 🇮🇹👌😄
Love the reacting video vincenzo love your content your a amazing TH-camr I love watching your videos they are the greatest and the best and the coolest your content is the greatest and the best and the coolest it always brings a smile to my face watching your content your a amazing and fantastic cook vincenzo
