    It took me an entire week to pronounce 'kolokithokeftedes', the Greek name for this dish.

      @@akispetretzikisen Akis, that person is trying to insinuate that you use a lot of herbs.
      They are pretending they asked you ”what herbs do you use for this recipe?", and then they are pretending that you replied "yes". Meaning that you use all of them. ( Or a lot of herbs)
      It's a fake situation to make a joke about you using a lot of herbs, that's all, it's funny lol

    Akis, Agape, I made these fritters yesterday and fell in love with the herbal flavors. At first, I thought it was too much basil, too much mint but the finished product was perfect. I wouldn't change one thing. I did use coconut flour instead of all-purpose and it was supreme. You are the master. PLEASE give us more vegetarian recipes.

    I just made this & miam miam really good. Munching into this goodies at first bite, you taste the lovely zucchini. Munching further, the medley of feta with that ground cumin & lime zest added gives the kick tantalizing your tastebuds, the refreshing dipping sauce compliment it all..great. I love freshly homemade food. Thanks for the recipe.

    Yiasou Akis,
    I have tried zucchini fritters,stuffed eggplant, keftedes,spinach with rice(spinokoreeso) and they are delicious, I watch so many chefs on u tube all over the world but your techniques and recipes are the best to watch in Greek cooking. I wish if you keep on your traditional cooking, its a modern era, people want a modern food or I say they want a twisted food but please do not forget your childhood memories how your mother and their mothers cook for their families,so share the memories with us, next I am going to try yours Gemista,beef stew and g reek pita bread. Keep doing good work and share more simple and traditional Greek food.
    Thank you
