mircowave? the pasta is fresh and most of their stuff doesnt take long to cook anyway. and since when did it ever pretend to be haute cuisine?

The one in Singapore I've been to has haute cuisine prices

I follow JO and gennaro on YT, been watching their videos for ages. I've noticed lately now they do alot more ad-related/product placement videos. Also something they never did before (which they do now) is videos on barbacoa and what they have on their menu. and also making cooking videos where they mention certain ingredients that you can buy from the restaurants too.

Do we live in Italy?

Dom Joly agrees - "Whatever happened to the Italian Restaurant?"

I tend to post facts rather than opinion.



"Why have we gone off them?" he asks.

His marketing puff is also getting rather more desperate in tone, I was thinking the other day.

I tried his spiced orange cake at Christmas, followed his instructions to the letter, used an oven thermometer, right size tin, kept it in for the max cooking time (to the point the edges were starting to over-bake) and a big section in the middle collapsed on cooling as it was nowhere near finished.

The edible bits did taste the part but I struggle to see why it varied so badly.

Cold spots in your oven? I have exactly the same issue with my current oven... the old one was crap but it cooked things evenly. The current one you nee to make sure everything that goes in gets turned a few times and cooking times increased by about 40% over recommended. Since I got the current oven I have all but stopped baking cakes because they come out embarassingly bad. And funnily enough my 'signature cake' that I failed on was a marmalade and stem ginger cake so not too far off!

why are we talking about his recipes? The thread is about his stty chain of restaurants, not his otherwise pretty decent recipes.

I thought it was about his surprising nationality.

If you didn't know to avoid these places already that seals it.
