Bolognese recipe Videos

+Michael Liem Sure, it might not quite last a week. 5 days max, but use your judgement. You can also freeze it!

+Klblue 92 true. In italy it is called ragu alla bolognese and it's mostly eaten with fresh egg-Tagliatelle, never with spaghetti.

they said it wasn't traditional and that it was a UK/westernised version.

+Matt Woodcock And you've obviously missed that this video doesn't live up to that target.I generally like the channel and some of the recipes, but this recipe is flat-out awful. It's not about a twist they've given it that some will love and other will hate, like how british people often put mushrooms in their bolognese (personally I find that awful) - that's perfectly fine, it's the direction they take the flavour to. Yet not browning the meat is simply taking out a layer of flavour (and then trying to make up for it by using not stock, but a stock cube), that''s not (just) a direction, but depth. So is not adding a bit of sugar to a savoury dish, especially if it contains tomato. And not cooking the red wine away before adding all the other things to get rid of the raw wine flavour isn't really what you want either, is it? There are other things I'd do very differently (there's a reason why people get mushrooms wet, dry and then wet again), but these are the simplest and most clear-cut issues that popped into my head.I know exactly what this recipe tastes like, because, except for the mushrooms, I've made bolognese this way a bunch of times and I was always disappointed. It's not just mediocre, it's actually awful. None of those tweaks are difficult even for someone who just started to cook . So this isn't one of those "tasty recipes which are easy to understand".From some of the other videos I've watched, the chef (Ben) appears quite competent, so I'm offended by a recipe like this, as it's not incapacity, but rather laziness and a lack of concern that created this.

+Jesper Christensen You've obviously missed the point of this channel entirely. Barry and Jamie are meant to represent the average idiot who knows nothing about cooking. Ben's job is then to give them tasty recipes which are easy to understand.

+Jesper Christensen Your whole issue with them is laughable. If you know how to cook, you'd either get some ideas from them or you went to a cooking school in which you don't even need to watch them. Their channel provides ideas in a simple way, to show people that cooking isn't as hard as many people think, and also to give the passion to many others.This isn't a classic way of cooking, because their are loads of recipes in cooking books and even tv shows. They must add a twist, it's not baking, where you could either do it right or fuck it up, this is cooking, cook it according to your taste. You remind me of a flat mate of mine, who didn't know how to cook to save his life, and keeps asking me how to cook simple dishes, to the point where he asks how much milligrams of salt should he add.

+Lily Weitzman it's mediocre at best. Good prep is key, it's really not that complicated to do a proper bolognese, simmering is what takes the longest, and there's barely any work there. 

You've essentially hit the nail on the head, but in the worst way possible. The whole point of their channel is to take classic or complicated recipes and make them easy, while still getting the same or similar results. They have a few recipes that are a bit more "professional" as you said, but no, their channel is to make things easier for us.

+MyTwoPointOneCents Have you seen Hannibal on NBC?

+MyTwoPointOneCents well did u think he had a cook at home that was ready to boil some fingers

It looks cool... ?

+kommisar Traditionally, you don't use any herbs in bolognese. You don't even use garlic.

+Quoc Bao but it tastes so damn good!!

+nicemutant Then don't use it if you have health issue dumb fuck LOL

+Quoc Bao I used it for 21 years and now have difficulty in talking to people without shouting. My left foot also hurts when I think of stock cubes.

+Mox_au its on another video titled "tomato sauce recipe" on the same channel.

+Mox_au It's a mixture of passata and canned tomatoes. I think he brings it to a boil and then he stores it.

+Callin' from springfeeel yeah, how do you make the tomato sauce is my point, it's the most important part of this dish and they didn't mention how he made it lol

canned tomatoes or a simple homemade sauce works great.

+Michael Wright Sounds like a winner

+iamac's Channel I love to reuse nature as utensils, thanks for watching

+RealItalianKitchen Great to hear and I am sure yours is just as good as mine!

Thank you soooo much!!! I'm so excited!!

+christina mcarthur Minestrone... good one. We'll work on that for you. That's why we call it "Ask Chef Tony".

+Oppie eyecare That sounds like a great idea will add to the schedule

plus I think it luk very selections and tasty 2 eat☺

+RealItalianKitchen That's what I use too!

+TheGodYouWishYouKnew I agree. I just use the "soffritto": onion celery carrots!

+saira mukhtar You can non sweetend grape juice as a replacement for the flavour. Add a splash of white vinegar for the lacking sourness.

+saira mukhtar u dont have to care about the wine...the alcohol will cook out and you just get the flavour not the alcohol

+ChloeG. Of course you don't have to add carrots if you don't want to

no u dont

Yes u have to. U r not allowed to ever eat it without carrots. Dont ever question a recipe, its a sin.
