    I lived in Greece from 1974 to 1980. I can still remember the flavors of my grandmother's keftedes. And Saligardia my favorite

    So I made baba gahnuosh, greek pita bread, tsaziki and steak for dinner, all from Akis. It was all so delicious!
    Now, I am going to garden center to get all these herbs like Thyme, Dill etc. and plant them in my boring front yard.
    Thank you, Akis. Not only I learn how cook Greek food, I also get to know different herbs and learn how to use them.

    absolutely beautiful! In a single video I learned so much!
    - squeeze out the juices from onion and garlic before adding them to the meat
    - kneed the dough well to bring out the flavour
    - add sugar to the tomatoes because they aren't as ripe in seasons other than summer
    Such an informative and great chef! Now I really want to eat something😩😂

    The kitchen would fill with the aroma of my Mom's cumin keftedes when I was a young. No tomato sauce though. Sliced lemons on the side as my Poppa liked them. I've done them with avgolemeno sauce but this tomato based recipe sounds absolutely delicious especially with the added cinnamon. I will try them as such. Thanks!

    Pro tip: Use fewer gloves that go to waste. You can use a plate to cover that bowl in an almost empty fridge in a show kitchen, no need for cling film. Someone will do the dishes for you anyway. That will benefit the planet and give you more time at the hair salon! Love your recipes!
