So far the 57-year-old Italian chef has taught us how to make a veggie-packed Thai curry, salad, tortellini in a thick parmesan sauce, and a New York-inspired pasta.

Afterwards, Bottura addresses fan questions and comments about the recipes in an online Q&A session.

But Bottura wants to be clear that he isn't just teaching kitchen skills.

"This is not a cooking show," he said in a short video this afternoon. "It's just a way to share with people from all over the world… we just want to be part of the world. There's a beautiful sentence in Italiano from a poet, Franco Arminio [translated to]: Yes, we are here, home, but we are talking with the whole world, so we are sharing with the whole world."
