James Delmage: Family Fair


 I love Italian food. It is heavy on the tomatoes and I love tomatoes. All the other Italian ingredients have been brought alongside with the possible exception of capers. I’m still on the fence about capers.

Jim Delmage has become a must watch for cooking YouTube. He is organized, simple and comfortable with making mistakes and leaving them in. The recipes are a mix of the familiar and enough new things to keep expanding my interest. I’m also trying new products he recommended most notably DeCecco pasta. You can tell he’s cooking for family, especially at the end when James, the taste-tester, comes in. After a large bite and thoughtful chewing Jim’s son reveals how many “James’” the recipe has earned out of ten. The adolescent honesty and the earnest hopefulness of a father charm these moments at the end of the episode.

Good watching and good eating, you’ll find them both on Sip and Feast.
