On the food mill, it looks like your bottom screen/plate is inserted upside down – with mine, the bottom plate is placed in the mill with the concave side of the screen/plate pointing upwards.
the best book for those of us who have travelled and lived in Italy…her stuff is great
Your food mill would work better if you placed the sieve dome side up
I wanna know about the onion article now!
My kitchen queen, she taught me how to cook Italian food! I have worn out two copies of that book 🙂
Only way i make sauce, but i enjoy adding a few cloves of chopped garlic and chop some of the cooked onion into my sauce for a little extra something something lol
Please keep cooking from this book, it has amazing recipes….❤
Her book is fantastic. I always go back to her sausage with caramelized onions, peppers, and tomatoes.
You’ve improved immensely over time. 🎉
Get a striking board. Only a few bucks, better gnocchi, less work
I FINALLY bought that book last week!
love this! also, WHAT ONION ARTICLE!!?
In german its called "Flotte Lotte"
The foodmill works better when the disc isn’t upside down. That amount of tomatoes should have taken about two minutes to mill with no tomato flesh left.
Important safety tip, Egon. Put the food mill on top of bowl that doesn't wobble.
This sounds very good. I heard about this tomato sauce with butter years ago but never looked any further into it. I have my grandmother's old food mill (small holes), but I think I might just cheat and use passata instead. Thanks for picking what sounds like a great cookbook and a really interesting recipe.
My name is Marcella. I am highly in favor of continuing this series, especially if you scream my name, I mean, her name like you did at 9:18
*The food mill finally starts working*: "Everything's coming up Milhouse!!"
I need to know about the article on onions!
I love your channel. Maybe someday try some Elizbeth David books.
I remember being a child at my grandma's house on a sunday morning while she was doing exactly the same technique to get the shape of the gnocchi with the fork. The whole wodden table was full of gnocchis. Beautiful memories
I wonder how many of us are here because of the cooking/fun or because Jamie’s so handsome 😂
Watching you prepare the tomatoes brought back so many childhood memories of helping my grandparents can the tomatoes from my grandfather's garden. When I was little, I thought the tomatoes would only peel easily immediately after they were boiled, so I would often end the day with scorched fingers.
Italian language time (our favorite time of the day) Gnocchi does NOT rhyme with YUCKY…it rhymes with Oaky (Oak-like…Long OOOOOO) NYOakey. As Curley would say….Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk. I keep hearing Nyauk it doesnt rhyme with Auk either. so not Auk and not yuck it's OAK Ny-OAK-ey. hehehe enjoy
Instead of removing the onion, I used a stick blender and blended the onions and tomatoes. We really enjoyed the onions in the sauce. Want not, waste not.
Gnocchi has a long o as in poke or spoke or nope.
