So, a few days ago my 9 year old daughter decided to make her and her brother's packed lunches for school the next day while I was elsewhere in the house. I came in to the kitchen with her surrounded by ingredients, chopping cucumber watching Not Another Cooking Show while she prepped everything 😂 You're impacting generations! Congratulations on 1M and thank you for all of the hard work you put in to your craft. Man, does it ever show.

I follow a lot of cooking channels on KZfaq, but this is hands down the best one. Been following since the early days… the content is always entertaining, and there hasn’t been a recipe I’ve tried that hasn’t been excellent. Congratulations on the million, Stephen!

Hey man I don't know if you still read all your YT comments but I've cooked a ton of the stuff you've made on this channel and you've brought a bunch of my family friends a ton of joy through your food. Congrats on the 1MM, it's well deserved!

Blown away by the fact that he was able to stay composed talking about his accomplishment of 1,000,000 subs. I had chills just watching it and he couldn’t have been more humble, well done sir I wish you greater success in the future showing us more amazing recipes!

I’m not sure which part of the video I like more. The mind blowing Lasagna recipe or the incredible story right at the end. I have so much respect for you and your work! Here’s to another million!

I could just bawl my eyes out when I hear stories like yours, Stephen! You show us the importance of setting goals, and impossible goals at that. Goals that only God can help you meet. Blessings on you and all that you set your heart to do. And that lasagna looks very dope!

Man you deserve it. My favorite cooking channel by far. So much passion and it shows.

You're one of the good guys, who does it the right way. You give proper respect to Italy and Italian food, and you show respect to everything you do. I've watched a ton of youtube chefs, and celebrity chefs in general... not because I need the tutorials, but for new perspectives. You're honestly one of the best and most informative. Thanks for all you do.

You were the first KZfaqr who got me properly into cooking. Been watching you for a while now and feeling proud man. Big ups and congrats! 🎉

Congratulations Stephen on reaching your goal! I have enjoyed your channel for a few years now and I know how delicious and interesting your food is because I have already made so many of your recipes! Thank you for sharing your cooking magic with your fans!

You started your channel on my dad’s birthday 19 days after he passed on. I found you along the way, and you’ve elevated my kitchen experiences. Thank you for your persistence and commitment!🥰

My grandmother was from Padova, in Italy, and she cooked lasagna roughly in the same way, with a layer of chiodetti mushrooms in the middle, the best food memories of my childhood, you're doing it the right way man, cheers.

Congrats on the million man!!

Late to the party but, congratulations on the 1 million! I adore your approach to teaching and the very human vibe that you bring to your videos. I've been trying your recipes for a few years and I've learned a lot.

I was living in Concord MA back in 1969 and came across Julia Child cooking on PBS. My Mom came in and was surprised to see me watching Julia instead of out rough housing with the rest of the guys. I mean I would come home covered in dirt, mud, skinned knees, bleeding (not every day) from riding dirt bikes, horses or whatever sport was in season. I explained that for some reason I found watching her not only entertaining but relaxing as well. And as an added bonus was learning about cooking. Many years later, married and having to eat I began to start cooking. Occasionally I would have my parents over for dinner and my Mother (may she rest in peace, couldn’t cook at all) would ask where I learned to cook. And I reminded her about watching Julia. Fast forward to today and after finding your channel and watching your videos I get the same feeling, I find them interesting, informative and at the same time relaxing. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUCCESS, you deserve it ‼️ 👍✌️☮️

YOU Sir bring the magic. You don’t cut corners,you emphasize the value and necessity of the right ingredients and you take genuine pleasure in enjoying the results as well as the work involved.

It is an honour to be one of your subscribers. Keep showing us new recipes so that we can keep on feeding ourselves from them

Auguri, Stephen! Watching (and cooking with) you for years, and can easily say how much you deserve the Gold. Don't stop, because you are truly gifted!

Congrats on your milestone (as well as the Spiteful promise you made). Hope you get to 2 million in a lot less time. Always a pleasure watching your channel.

Congrats on a million subscribers Stephen. What I most enjoy about your videos is your no nonsense, no overhyped approach. Just you, teaching me. I loved your sandwich videos a lot. Cheers!

CONGRATS on 1 MILLION subscribers!..... You totally deserve it Stephen & whoever helps you make these fantastic videos, definitely my FAV cooking channel!

I honestly cannot think of a lasagna that I have ever witnessed in my lifetime that I would rather be shoving into my face. It looks absolutely perfect and artistic. Like you as a chef! Love your channel --can't wait to try this!

You're the absolute best. Thanks for sharing that story about that rich man who doubted you . I have learned so much from you, done so many of your recipes and it's nice to see you achieve what you deserve! Will follow forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Its' been a great joy to watch this channel for the last five years. Time sure flies. Looking forward to next five and beyond.

I'm Irish but my gran has been cooking Italian food for years and her recipes are actually similar to yours, but a bit more rustic. I have learned so much finesse from you to elevate our family recipes so I'm very glad you set off on this path and set the target you did. Thank you so much!

When you said five years ago you started your channel, I thought wow has it already been that long!? You are still my favourite food content creator on KZfaq to this day!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 You are truly inspiring Stephen ❤❤❤❤ much love for all your time and effort you have put into this channel! Sincerely, A subscriber for life

Customary bread test "Just to make sure there's no poison in it" really brought me back to my childhood

When I first started watching this channel I was shocked at how few people had subscribed. The quality of the videos was (is) miles ahead of a lot of people. Cheers on the million subscribers! Thanks for being awesome and sharing it with the world!

I can only imagine how amazing your kitchen smells during that process 🤤 definitely giving this a try next week!

Dude, congrats on the accomplishment, I’m proud to say I’ve been watching you for probably close to 5yrs and your still my fav cooking channel. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!.......well deserved........you know without perfectionists we wouldn't have magnificent cathedrals, symphonies, space shuttles.......or lasagna. Or KZfaq channels 🎉🥳

I just realized today that I was not subscribed. Your channel has not popped up for me on YT for a couple of months, so i searched for you, hit subscribe and now binging on what's I've missed the past few months. Congratulations on the 1M and... THIS LOOKS AMAZING!

Hands down my favorite cooking channel. I owe so many delicious meals to you, Stephen, and apparently so do a million other subscribers. Congratulations!

Congratulations and love your cooking channels and made many of your recipes.

Ben there from the jump brother! So proud of you my guy! Cheers

When I first saw this show making fish and chips, I was amazed. Later the grilled cheese sandwich ones with the backstory was inspired. Then the feast at a restaurant with the cookie tins and brother was so grand. I liked them all and learned much. I thought, "what a star." Very high quality and relatable. Congratulations on the KZfaq million award. I love this channel and save them all. Don't quit now.

I always without fail come back to this channel - from your game changing gratin a few years ago (my family thanks you) to your holiday specials, to this: I’m always hungry and inspired after one of your videos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Super Congratulations to you bro, you so deserve every single subscriber!! You totally nailed the right recipe to celebrate this moment. That Lasagna is absolute perfection!!! Cheers to you and all of us on this journey together! 🥂

Can't wait to try this. I'm a bridge painter by trade, but have also worked as a private chef. Videos are very inspiring. In fact, I'm retired now I'm going to be buying a food truck very soon. Your grilled cheese recipe inspired me to take grilled cheese in general to a whole nother level. My truck will be on the road very soon. Thanks for all your hard work it is much appreciated

I'm absolutely choked you've proved someone wrong and worked your absolute a** off to realise your dreams, Stephen. Genuinely inspiring.

Congratulations on your achievement. You don't get to 1M subscribers without being yourself and being authentic in your craft. I've really enjoyed your channel and recipes. My best wishes to you in the future. And keep on cooking! The only thing harder than your 5 years of hard work, is waiting for 90 minutes to dig into that lasagne. :-)

Amazing as always my man. I’ve been making my lasagna like this for years. At least the basic steps (minus making my own pasta). I never thought to make an elevated béchamel and also never considered the additional layer of ragu on top. You’re a fantastic chef and your story is truly inspirational. Grazie mille!

One of, if not THE best cooking channels. I live a busy bachelor life paycheck to paycheck, so some of the recipes are beyond me at the moment. But just watching you teaching good technique...That, Stephen...this is why I love this channel. Because of the following: I may not be able to make your recipes, but I've DARN sure learned AND USED techniques you've taught to advance my cooking.

You are my soul son! I want my grandson to grow up and have the same passion for food as you do! When he’s with me we are in the kitchen, passing down the wisdom and the secrets ( he’s 4.5 yrs old!) We call it the Nonna and Ryder Show! My favorite part of all your videos is when you unhinge your jaw and take a bite! Thank you! thank you! And thank you!❤️

Awesome Lasagna, looks delicious. Even better, big Congratulations on your huge achievement! Your show has been one of my favorites for years

Congrats!! You're honestly the best at making Italian food and pretty much any other food!!❤

Really cool to see someone emphasize sound in cooking. As a trained cook, it eternally confuses me how often "beginner's guides" don't talk about sound--especially the way meat sings.

This recipe is totally why you have over 1,000,000 subscribers! I would love to taste that Lasagna. Kudos Chef!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Congrats on your big milestone, and than you so much for being both an inspiration and instructor for cooking and life, and for being just a good honest down to earth guy even after becoming internet famous. Much respect to you

The amount of work your are putting in this video is just amazing ! Love your work :)

Congratulations on your well-deserved 1 million subscribers! We appreciate you and I, in particular, appreciate your kind words at this particular juncture in my life. Love your channel and again, thank you for being you and taking us along on your journey.

Love the channel. Congrats on hitting your subscriber goal; very well deserved. I still make the red pepper pasta sauce that introduced me to your recipes and it's still amazing.

That is the lasagna recipe that I've been waiting for you to make for years, it looks absolutely delicious. I've thought about adapting your other recipes to try to create this masterpiece but you've done it for us. Thank you.

This looks absolutely amazing, your cooking channel is by far my favourite and I’m so glad you proved that guy wrong. ❤❤❤

The importance of letting it set makes a world of difference. Great recipe !

Congratulations!!!! I absolutely love your style of cooking!! Use your tips all the time , my go to references before I cook ! 24:33

My mouth is watering with your lasagna. I wish I had a pasta making machine to make this recipe exactly like you did. Congratulations on reaching such amazing milestone!! You deserve 10 million subscribers and more. I’m sure you will get them, because you’re an amazing creator.

You are an inspiration to me. I’m terrified about starting to film my channel. But corporate America is stress. Congratulations! I will always watch your channel. You were a fast favorite for me ❤

I’m a huge fan and so grateful to have found this channel. I tried your bolognese recipe recently and it went down a treat! I noticed some differences in your technique from the bolognese here vs the traditional bolognese and I was hoping you can help me understand the changes (no doubt you are super busy and likely may never even see this comment… but trying my luck regardless!) - before you cooked the meat after the veggies, but this time you cooked them separately, how come? - you put the bolognese in the oven this time but on the stove before? - SO much easier that you put all the veggies in the food processor once, vs last time you did it 3 separate times (I was wondering why you did that!) Thank you so much!

You're as authentic as it gets, bubba. You're all substance, zero fluff. That is some insanely delicious looking lasagne. I do think Chef Jean-Pierre has the proper method, though, and that's not even eating the lasagne until the next day. A night in the fridge allows you to get the perfect slice. Who could do that? Not I.

Where have you been all my life …. 😊love what you do!

I've always watched "TV chefs" and I learned some recipes. But you, Weissman and Guga really taught me how to be a better cook. Subscriber for life.

You're awesome. Keep the faith. You are so real and I love your cooking the best things with a twist so anyone can learn how to put together a great meal. Keep on keeping on.

So happy for you dude. Been watching you for years now, your passion through the screen is infectious. Thanks for making cooking fun!

You the man

Good to see you finally hit 1 million! You’re by far my favorite channel on KZfaq I’ve been following you since the beginning! I cook a ton of your recipes and all my friends and myself love the results!

Great Recipe! And, I know that I am late, but, thank you for the 5-year success story! Congratulations, man. Your dedication, care and passion comes out in every video!

YES!!!! Finally lasagna!!!

Love you, man! Been following you for a bunch of years now and can only say that I look forward for every freakin’ Wednesday. Keep on the amazing work!

Wow! What a positive attitude you have young man. I found your channel today and am thrilled I did so. In a few days I will be 82 years old and am not tech savvy but, I would love to purchase your holiday books. Your braised short ribs look amazing and the famous short rib sandwich looks so delicious also watched how you made your Shepard’s pie. Oh my I will be pulling my Dutch oven out from storage! God bless you and much success. 🎄👋🏻🤗💕🙏🏻

I've watched you from near the beginning of your journey and you've always delivered. Thank you for sharing your passion and story. Congratulations

Been following since around 200,000 subs and I gotta say-I am so fucking happy and proud of what you’ve been able to accomplish Steve. And I truly believe that your vulnerability with admitting to us all that you had to move back in at 31 and start over, will help to motivate the rest of us who found ourselves in a similar position at one point in time. Thank you for the good work that you’re doing. Happy for you, brother.

CONGRATULATIONS! That lasagna alone is worthy of the awards. If you had made that dish the first video, you would’ve accomplished a million views! Awesome video!

The best lasagna recipe on the internet. Thank you good sir!

Maybe this is the time to say - your channel really helped step up my italian cooking game. Found you sometime early in the corona and learned. Your style was (is) completely unique, stylish, and effective at teaching. A year or so ago, I flew back home and cooked my family (among them my Italian uncle, my family's famous-to-us cook) a penne vodka. He didn't want any cheese on top, AND he wanted seconds. With the rest of the family wandering off, we talked about foods we loved. It was - without a doubt - my greatest cooking achievement. That alone - if I ever saw you around NYC - would earn you one bro hug. Thank you for creating this channel to pursue this craft you clearly love. Can't wait for your next million.

Your love for cooking is genuine and you genuinely deserve that golden KZfaq trophy. Congrats!

I think I discovered your channel during Covid quarantine... I'm one of your vegan fans. Congratulations!!!

My brother just recently introduced me to your channel. It's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada so I'm prepping turkey dinner. He's here now and we're watching your channel on You Tube and we're both drooling over your recipes. Not kidding! You are by far the best I've seen. It's like we can taste that authentic Italian flavour in all you do. Wonderful! Keep up the great work and I look forward to purchasing one of your 'physical' books in the near future. Your amazing!

Congratulations on reaching one million subscribers, Maestro Cusato! It is well-deserved. Your cooking style is informative/educational, approachable and always delicious. You're a great teacher to newbie and experienced home cooks, alike.

My favorite cooking channel on KZfaq. Such passion, such skill, and a good dude to boot! Congratulations on your well deserved success, good man!

Just saw this lasagna recipe,and I was so impressed with the building of the dish.Thank you so much and God Bless you.and congrats in doing so well and working hard to prove the naysayers wrong.

Stephen, your videos always remind me of cooking with my buddies back in the day--making old fashioned Italian recipes and sharing with friends. Congrats on the 1 million subs. Very well deserved!

I used this wonderful recipe for Christmas this year and the results were amazing. The only trouble I had was that the first two homemade pasta sheets I dropped in the boiling water immediately stuck together, which ruined both sheets. So I added a small amount of oil to the water, which prevented sticking from then on, and I still had enough pasta to complete the recipe. To roll the lasagna sheets, I used a rolling pin with great success. I am eagerly waiting on an Atlas 150 pasta machine I just ordered, noting that's the machine I have seen used on this channel. I changed the bechamel part of your recipe slightly by using a sweet onion (it's what I had) and I infused the butter with the onion first, then removed the diced onion from the butter with a strainer before making a roux with the infused butter.

Congratulations Steve I’ve been watching you from the very beginning and I couldn’t be more proud or happy for you Absolutely amazing what you have done

I have goosebumps. I am so freaking proud of you. I have been an avid watcher of your chaqnnel for about 4 years now and have tried many of your recipes and LOVE the holiday cooking plan that I purchased. You deserve this milestone!!!!

What I like about you is you're a chef that thinks like a chef. The example was that little spreader that you used to dig out the tomato puree from the can. I love those little things! Congrats on the 1m, stay classy

You are by far (literally I’m in UK) the most informative, interesting and honest with the most delicious recipes, food person I follow. Massive congratulations and I agree Silver goes better in the Kitchen 🎉

So happy for you! ❤️🎉 And this recipe is fantastic!

I’ve enjoyed cooking for family and friends for many years (am in my mid 70’s). I just want to say I’ve learned so much from watching your videos; but more importantly I have truly ENJOYED watching you. Patricia

Congratulations! Really enjoy your show, you've taught me a lot. Thank you not just for the cooking lessons but the inspiration as well.

Congrats!! Prove them all wrong. That lasagne looks freaking fabulous. It‘s settled lasagne for Easter dinner.

You’re my favorite KZfaq chef. You deserve everything you have. Respect bro

This is the thinking person's foodie. Just discovered this channel and love the no-jargon, no bs type presentation. Thank you for keeping it real 😊

Congratulations bro I’ve been watching your channel for years and it’s well deserved 🔥🔥🔥

Congrats to you! I started watching your channel when you had half a mil subscribers and I have enjoyed your show. Not just the recipes, but the knowledge and inspiration that you give off for everyone of us. Thank you and bless you!

Just found it and I am completely obsessed!! The content and commentary is on-point, mind-grabbing, heart-warming and game-changing. Congrats and beyond well-deserved!❤️

Auguri on your Gold Award well deserved love all your recipes keep it up as a second generation Italian I now pass down my mamma's recipes who is 86 and still is cooking up a storm so again congrats from Montreal, Canada

Looks great! Congrats on the milestone, Steve. Life is indeed hard--and getting harder. You deserve every success. I look forward to many more episodes and great ideas to come.

Started watching you during lockdown in 2020. The last 3 years have been a beautiful journey through amazing food. I've learnt a huge amount. Thank you so much. Massive congratulations on your huge achievement. I'm sure it's been along and hard journey but from my perspective so so worth it. Well done.👍

A beautiful recipe executed with a lot of love. So glad you found your bliss, Chef. Thank you!
