I can't believe he could make this without a stock pot
I have never seen anyone make a tomato sauce with cherry tomatoes before. This is eye opening.
you know, i used to think people who spoke like this about stuff like cooking or art were just being pompous but i compared it to how i get when i talk about martial arts or comedy… its just passion!

They've invented stove tops with temperature settings now.

It's not a secret anymore
How are there so many npc’s in the comments
His voice so calm suits to be used for movies and stories
Acidity just… dissapeared?
Marco trully is a Maestro of cooking. And now he also become the wise old sage of cooking world.
The way he explain the details about cooking is almost like a philosphy.
When you make tomato sauce you want it to taste of tomatoes. It's as simple as that.
Bro forgot the salt 😢
Marco doesn’t grate onions. We’ve seen him chop onions like a salad shooter. He’s throwing us a bone.
Yes, grating onions works
You're the epitome of the kind of mentor I always wished I could have, especially as a physicist. I would be so happy to be your student if I take cooking classes, because you would be talking like that, appreciating the intricacies of your craft and teaching it all to us. You, sir, are brilliant.
No salt
I thought Italians don’t mix garlic and onions..
abuser and an bully! wtf no viewing this video pls.
Even if I lived for 1,000 years, I'd never get tired of this guy making literally any little thing sound profound.

Well done brother back to the roots its boring 😴 otherwise
I fucking love this shit
Much rather watch him than Gordon
This guy is awesome.
This is what he means by "perfection is lots of little things done right". This is just the tomato sauce and look at how much effort he has put into making it and it is only part of a recipe.
i was waiting for knorr stock pot but it never came
I dislike tomatos but I am still watching this from start to finish.
Not really a secret now is it
