That grandma is so adorable :) Made me think, that it would be cool to make a video/art project interviewing a bunch of older people, and letting them reminisce nostalgically about their past...
FINALLY.....this is exactly how my Grandmother used to make "Pita." Thank you for uploading this!!! I have been searching a long time for this recipe and seeing your finished Pita is absolutely perfect. My Grandmother was a first-generation American (arriving in 1920) from far Northern Greece and not only called this dish by its simple name of Pita, but made it using multiple layers of filling. All other recipes I've seen use one, giant, layer of filling which is impossible to eat with your hands and requires a fork/knife. A few things I wanted to note specifically: 1. You need a thick enough dough base and top to hold everything together 2. Multiple layers of filling instead of one giant layer so you can hold it in your hand while eating 3. Simple ingredients. I've seen recipes with multiple cheeses and spices like dill. This was not only too complicated, but expensive. My Grandparents were far from wealthy and ate Pita at least once a week 4. Being extremely superstitious, my Grandma would (only during Christmas and Easter) wrap a quarter in aluminium foil and place it between one of the layers. Similar to the baby in a Mardis Gras King Cake, whomever got the quarter had good luck as long as you didn't break a tooth in the discovery process!
This is a good show! I like seeing someone average cook their own recipes. It's entertaining and worthwhile. And better than seeing Johnny Two-Shine smear olive oil over his face ...!
tsktsk, even Belgian men do make the kuri (filo) by hand, with a tochilka!!! Have to admit this belgian man learned it from Baba Sevda in Plovdiv ;-) Great to see how these traditional skills are revived on youtube. Also learned to make banitsa c praz aka praznik ;-)
You know the food is gonna be good when you ask an old woman "half a pound?" and she kinda wants to say "yea... around this much" pointing at the ingredients
Ελληνική παραδοσιακή Σπανακόπιτα!!!! Guys this is the real world...from spinach + pie And yeah all Greek grandmas make the best Spanakopitas ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really, this is not exactly Bulgarian recipe. Yes, they use Bulgarian cheese, but in Bulgaria, they would roll up the banitza into coils, and bake those. Plus, the lady is from Macedonia originally, so it makes sense not to use Bulgarian music.
That's really sweet seeing grandmother passing down family tradition and history. **warm and fuzzy feelings**
this made me cry. I miss my granny so much!

Lovely, just lovely.
Поздрави от България, greetings from Bulgaria :)
I love the cooking techniques the elderly use. "ehh, I think it is halfpound".
ikr
Good going Chow. Love Buba. Food looks great. I'm going to Buba's for dinner.
I triée thé turkish version of this récipé ans it Wal amazing too.
Baba is so pro she doesn't need it written down!
Now I want spinach pie.
Didn't expect to see greek cuisine here. Δεν το περίμενα αυτό αλλά μπράβο :D
I miss my mom.
you and your grams are too cute!
Sweet, if I still had a granma I'd cook with her too -3
This is a good show!

Can I use it as a skin cara method?
I would love to have a written recipe for this please!
hey a banitsa on youtube :) pretty cool :)

Think how much more magical this dish would be if they used weed butter in place of ordinary butter.
"I just wiped the knife because when I cut the butter" . I was expecting it to be a cooking tip as well.
"Do we have to wait before we cut it?"
"Yeah we should wait"
*already starts picking away at it*
That's exactly what I do!!!
Fun Fact: Baba invented Doritos Consomme. But, seriously, this looks delicious.
Joy at 5:27 ;)
Can Spinach be subtitude for weed?
Actually, in Greek Spanakopita, the dough sheet must be handmade, not frozen. THAT detail is very crucial. :)
Where did you grandmother go to in 1947? The USA? Australia?
She came to the US in 1947 when she was twenty.
Did they just give her the same glasses they gave the College guy?
Not before mixing in a generous serving of Doritos consomme.
Bulgarian*.
Add chicken
Yaaay Greek food! :)

didn't she already die😞😞😭😭
Fire Pug thats rude to say.
Ok.......I guess English is not our first language
She can't whip eggs with a beater? Seriously?
because i am the better person :)
What's wrong with you? This is the first I try to provoke someone online and they don't bark at me :)
Now wipe the mixture all over your face to fight acne.
The only sad thing is that they are playing Greek music on a Bulgarian recipe.
Really, this is not exactly Bulgarian recipe. Yes, they use Bulgarian cheese, but in Bulgaria, they would roll up the banitza into coils, and bake those. Plus, the lady is from Macedonia originally, so it makes sense not to use Bulgarian music.
omg so hot
Hmn, Albert's Syndrome?
gibanica is better :D
Please, more "Cooking with Grandma" and less "Cooking with yet another hipster"
I'm not, so I gave you a thumbs down.
take those glasses off, they look horrible on you.
