Fresh pesto is so easy and flexible! It’s so delicious and easy to make with whatever you desire or have on hand! Thank you, Jamie!
Tag: Jamie Oliver
I very much enjoyed this video. He makes it look so easy. I can’t wait to try this.
Very fun and excellent example.I wish you had this for Sour dough!
Of course, I will. Just offer a thanks for asking Jaimie to join Yes Chef. Pesto is a miracle dish.
This left me almost in tears. I could feel the emotion of a chef, of a noodle, and of the art of the kitchen. Thank you so much.
This was amazing! I’ve wanted to make pasta, but it seemed overwhelmingly difficult. Jaime’s video has inspired me!
Great demonstration. Easy to follow to create my pasta from scratch.
I loved it! I enjoy Jamie’s cooking videos, but this was different because it was longer and I could see even better the passion and love that he puts into food. I’m so glad I picked this video as the first one to watch in YesChef. I have wanted to make homemade pasta for a long time, and this will be the recipe I use.
I can’t wait to try it with my granddaughters! Well done and thank you!
Jamie has inspired me for many years. My general attitude to cooking and wonderful-tasting food comes from him. I owe you, Jamie! Because of you, I have gotten so much pleasure and fun from cooking. I enjoy watching your children, and your family! Thank you.
Love his passion. I will be making fresh pasta very soon.
This is a real game-changer. I never thought I could make pasta without a machine. I love rolling it out – and have made spinach pasta ravioli, using his ravioli lesson.
There’s nothing like a Sunday afternoon with a glass of wine making pasta for your family. Jamie so passionately and with a lot of love brings you into his beautiful kitchen and world to demonstrate the art of pasta making. A special time with him sharing his knowledge but also a beautiful few moments watching someone with that special something that only God can inspire in people. As you can tell, I enjoyed my first video. Thanks
Loved this! He helps you understand not only how to do it but also gives you the encouragement and support to make you feel that you can do it. I like the technique of rolling it on itself and then cutting it to make the wide noodles.
I cannot wait to try it. I love his voice and ease of understanding what he is saying. You believe what he says!
Love it! And I went to culinary school. Great inspiration.
Beautiful! Beautiful! Inspiration! I am so excited to go into the kitchen and pantry and create!
Jamie did a wonderful job reversing the myth that pasta is time-consuming and difficult to master. It was great to also see his yard vegetable beds and greenhouse in the middle of the video.
I’ve been making pasta for years, but it’s always refreshing to see such passion in its creation.
Very well done. I like the simple elegance of it. I’ve made pasta before but not as wonderful as this.
This guy’s vibe captures how I feel about cooking. You can tell he loves what he does.
Salad always avoided because it is typically boring. The visual part of this teaching with the layers of choices was brilliant. I’m a visual learner and this helped.
I’m making this! I found 00 flour in Texas! I love to cook and learn about cooking. I can taste this in my head before I’ve prepared it.
Jamie, I love your energy and your food since your first cookbook:) I am still cooking your soup with chickpeas and leek.
Loved it!!!! My salads will never be the same.
Oh my goodness, can do it. I must feel the seasons and the choices and I can make a salad for any occasion and anyone. Simple.Thank you. Joy
I used half of the bread recipe for this and made cinnamon rolls! It was so good! I wasn’t sure because the dough wasn’t sweet but they were perfect!
I’ve made this dough 3 times already and I love making all different things with it… it is delicious.
Oh,I love Jamie’s recipes! We even joke at home that Jamie is like a family member because his name comes up at almost every dinner. I’m always cooking his recipes, and whenever I serve a new dish, everyone says, ‘Let me guess, who’s this from? Oh yes, Jamie Oliver!’
Enjoyed this piece on Jamie Oliver; thank you for sharing your journey. Particularly loved learning about your humanity and generous spirit.
love love love Jamie Oliver’s story! I wish him and his family the best. I so wish I had grown up like that! to have so much knowledge of cooking so early in life. I’m 66 and hope to go to culinary school still!! take care, Jamie! Have a wonderful life! Karen Buss California
I have followed Jamie for years- I love his love for service and food.
So amazing! So inspiring! It is lovely to witness such a good soul.
Ah, this made me smile and cry at the same time, good for Jaime!!
Bravo! Jamie is an outstanding roll model for not just food-related ambitions but life and being human in general.
Jamie Oliver is a great teacher. The way he explains things makes it easy to understand why certain things are done.
Jamie thinks and speaks about food like I do! It’s science, beauty, and ALWAYS an expression of love—love of the food and love for the people eating it. Chef’s kiss!
Hey Jamie, this is the first meal I cooked with Yes Chef! And the family asked for seconds. Mission accomplished. I served it with a caprese salad and baguette. Thank you for incorporating a mentor into this lesson. Fruit grows from its roots. The water you sprinkled into the eggs helped me look for the right consistency, I am an amateur, but I nailed it.
It was emotional for me. I cried when Jaimie put together that one shawarma. so much love there. it was like a poem!
Jamie, I might even like ricotta cheese!!!!! cooled your way!!!! amazing!! love your style!!!

Steamed veg balances any feast, and Jamie shows you how he layers and steams to create nourishing side dish.
LOVE this recipe! Jamie has helped me resurrect my desire to bake bread after trying way too many recipes that just didn’t deliver. Thank you, Jamie! Jaye S
Thank you for teaching me the mystery of pasta. I hope I can prepare it for my loved ones.
It’s inspiring and it feels. doable. Great teaching to the end of using it fresh to dry or freeze it. Thank you Jaime
Coming soon to my family!! I can’t wait. Thank you chef, I feel the love and can’t wait to taste it!
The filming location really highlighted a simple man who is and extraordinaire chef.
Amazingly simple. The music and the sounds of nature – so peaceful. Makes me want to go camping.
Loved the organic essence of the process and the finished product. I am intrigued.
I love his story. Very much appreciated. It’s so nice to see the good stories of people. His passion, kindness, and service to others. Thank you
Great tuition lesson I love that it feels like Jamie is in the room when I AirPlay to TV. Love the hints and ideas thrown into the conversation.
This beautiful little vignette just cemented my love and adoration of you Jaime. Thank you for this beautiful series on YesChef. I’ve deeply enjoyed these videos and stories.
Wow, that’s beautiful. However, seeing the amount of butter going into the meal makes me think twice about doing it and having it. And I love butter.
I want to try all your pasta and bread recipes but I struggle with digesting gluten. What flour combinations do you recommend for gluten-free bread dough and pasta dough? do I add yeast the same with the bread recipes? Is rising the same? Are baking times the same?
Wow, Jamie, I loved watching that chicken pie being made, I think that was your best recipe out of all that you have done on here. It looked so tasty, thank you for an amazing video; I just wish I could I could keep that pie video. Could you add it to one of your TV programs? Thank you, Jamie.
Excellent session. And I love the language he uses to describe the process and the ingredients (i.e., smell and vision). Perfect length as well.
Nice piece, and a gorgeous salad. I like the idea of those groupings and the visual of them from the overhead shot was inspiring. And as one who loves fruit, I’m so glad he included the fig and/or fruit in most salads with veggies.
Pretty inspiring, and so simple. That’s one of the things I so enjoy about the way Jamie cooks and teaches. Simple can be gorgeous and delicious. And now I think I need a larger mortar and pestle.
I’m appreciating the notes in the notes section while Jamie’s cooking and talking. This looks so good, I can’t wait to make it and enjoy it with friends and a big red wine.
Part of what I loved about this episode was watching two guys being sweet with one another. Jamie approaches his friend and says something like “Come on, give me a little cuddle” near the close when Jamie says of the food and experience “This is perfect” his friend reaches out and touches his knee. The food looked great, but it was the friends making and sharing it that made it memorable.
Such wonderful ideas, my mouth is watering at all the possibilities I never think of when in a hurry.
With my new quartz countertop and this new information. I agree with the other lady, out goes the bread maker, and back to my 16-cup dough recipe. Thank you, Jamie, for the extra techniques that I was missing.
Inspires me to have a go-I have never made my own pasta!
Amazing. I’m not a baker, but this has been my favorite and most inspiring bread series. Now….to give it a try 🙂
I have made bread for years, then switched to a bread maker on dough setting because mine always seems sticky. Well….. guess I wasn’t kneading it enough!! I will go back to my 16-cup recipes and give it another try! Thank you!
Jamie has such a personable and engaging style that elevates, not just the celebrated salad, but also the viewer who starts to believe they too can create something fantastical and delicious on a plate!
I simply love grilling and this gives me one more way to make a great meal!!! Can’t wait to try it with all kinds of different veg!! Thank you!!!
OMG! I remember my Japanese mother-in-law made wonderful soup from leftover pieces and we ate it in the kotatsu, the heated table used during winter.
I love Jamie’s bread/Pizza dough recipe. I grew up having pizza night every Friday night. we always made our pizzas. I wish I had his recipe at that time. Yummy!
I will serve this to my vegetarian sister soon! His vegetarian recipes have a WOW factor that impresses everyone and makes vegetarian food a joy, not a sentence.
I never dared to make pesto before but, Jamie made it so easy and I make it now. I’ve made my style of pizza with pesto as the sauce is wonderful. Thank you for opening up a world of cooking to me.
Jamie takes a wonderfully sensual pleasure in the food…the smell, the look, the texture, and it ensures his recipes are super yummy and beautiful. My pleasure is in the visual (I’m an artist and use fruit as inspiration) so I share that sensual pleasure. He can make anything, even the simplest, really special. He’s a special guy… always was, always will be.
Very inspiring to hear Jamie Oliver’s story. I love his presentations and great to see his relationship with Genaro
Jamie, I love your story. It is moving, and you are so genuine. Thank you for caring, loving, and wanting to make a difference in the world, your country, and in me. I had lost when America quit following you. You changed my life when I found you again and I love to cook again. I am eating the healthiest I have ever eaten. Thank you for being you. Kathleen in Seattle
Wonderful life story – with so much more story to come. Jamie inspired me in 2010 to change careers and become a chef to change American school food. He continues to be an inspiration.
Jamie Oliver 2.0 classes please-he’s the best of the best of the best here.
Wonderful ! … thank you for sharing the Jamie time-line!
“Where do you ever find another Jamie?” I echo Gennaro’s statement. Jamie is a shining star, a hero to all who know him, a good man. Loving this documentary – and have to say: Drums TOO, Jamie? Sending love and thanks from NC.
You are such an inspiring person, love what you do, thank you.
Great sharing thanks Jamie, I love your heart for serving people and sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm.
I would love more of such simple but wonderful dishes in Jamie’s program.
Around here we get lovely fruit in the fall. This recipe is perfect for honoring the bounty.
As a whole food plant-based eater, that is the most spectacular meal I have ever seen being prepared, I can’t wait to try this one =, but watching you Jamie, and your enthusiasm, ease, and delight in all of this made me emotional TBH. Thank you a million times over for sharing this with us. xo
I made the focaccia and 4 pizzas from the principal bread dough I was amazed at the results. The pizza came out exactly how I like a pizza and the focaccia was excellent. There is a feeling of satisfaction creating something with your bare hands and not a machine I have bought some bread pans and will be trying to make loaves of bread. Once I perfect this, my next goal is sourdough something I always wanted to make.
Just tried for the 1st time ever and I have bread and focaccia!!! However, would it be possible to mention the electric oven temperature and timings?
Thank you, Jamie for your inspirational teachings. I have elevated every part of our home cooking thanks to your lessons. Please keep making lessons! Doc T
For the last 15 years, I have followed Jamie wherever l could, on ’24 Kitchen’, ‘food network,’ and Channel 4′. Joining his online tutorials will be extremely exciting for me
Nobody makes Pasta like Jamie. I have been using his recipes since the moment he went on TV, and he taught me to cook. This was fabulous, thanks.
Wow…such a joy. I love that Jamie emphasizes the love with which you should make food, with a smile coming through your hands, the way you touch things and mix them…thoughtfully. Thank you so much for a wonderful lesson…almost a sermon! xxx
I have a profound appreciation for Jamie Oliver. He inspires me to the core!
I so wish I could eat this! Both my husband and I are highly intolerant to wheat. I would love to try this and other flour-based recipes but with no wheat. I know it’s a big ask, but it would make my world. Thank you 🙂
Love this video, such passion and thoughtfulness! Having a desire to put a smile on my guest’s face, making this pasta is not a labor, but a joyful gift of love to those who savor this treat. Thank you again for igniting my love of cooking.
I enjoyed this class. Listening to Jamie was easy and relaxing and he made me feel like I could make pasta like a professional with no problem. Looking forward to more classes from him.
Fantastic video class! His passion shines through. I have been making pasta and failing… In this video he explains several key points that I have heretofore been missing including 00-flour PLUS semolina Combo not either or), egg yoks (not whole eggs), when to add water. I’m so inspired. Going to go try again right now!
I have followed Jamie since his first TV cooking program. His YesChef has gone to the next level and is so inspiring and it’s great to see him continuing to encourage us to enjoy and get the best from our cooking. A big thanks to him.
This will inevitably be my 13-year-old son’s entry point into making pasta from scratch. Between the fresh pasta class and this pasta bianca, we’re golden. He just asked the other night, “Hey Dad, I want to make pasta from scratch.” Thanks for doing this with YesChef!
I can’t wait to try this. It is simple and elegant. Perfect dessert for a dinner party.
Jamie, you are such an advocate for delicious real food – it makes my heart sing. The way you take the time to explain your thought process and the reasons why you choose ingredients – just love it.
I’ve made this a few times now and people have asked me what I do that’s different which is cool but when I show them what I’ve done and how simple and quick it is they’ve gone off and made it themselves! We now have a Mexican wave of Pesto making with these fresh homemade Pesto lovers. I love it and it’s so versatile.
I love to make pesto but my son is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts so I add sunflower kernels in place of the nuts.
Oh lovely! I’ve made it before, but pine nuts are unobtainable in South Africa so I used almonds, and Parmesan cheese is so expensive here! Now I know what else I can use to make more. Thank you, Jamie!
