Among the many chefs who have stepped forward is Michelin-Starred chef Massimo Boturra has taken to Instagram to help those who are helpless in the kitchen.

The aptly-titled “Kitchen Quarantine” series broadcasts live from the acclaimed Italian chef’s home kitchen in Italy, which is under lockdown due to the worsening spread Covid-19 in the country.

The chef patron of Osteria-Francescana provides a step-by-step through a wide variety of dishes such as a basic Mac and Cheese, salad, tortellini and even Thai curry.

All the classes are conducted in English and completely free of charge.

This isn’t the first time Boturra has conducted cooking classes online. He previously had run a series of online cooking classes via Masterclass, an online course service that provides lessons on topics like Film & TV, Culinary Arts, Writing and more.

Boturra is far from the only chef who has taken to social media to distil his culinary knowledge. American chef and restaurateur Michael Symon has kept himself busy by showing hungry viewers the ins and outs of preparing dishes such as pork chops and black beans, lentil stew and many others.

He diligently posts up cooking demonstrations on his Instagram account as well as on the Food Network’s Facebook page daily.
