    Για σας από το Μεξικό, κυρίε. I began last month a small food business here at home due the lockdown and I am making Greek food. I knew how to prepare some dishes but I came to search for any other recepts and then I found your channel. You are a big inspiration for me because all the dishes became better and tastier. Hope so you'll read this. Receive from Mexico a hug and a mountain of admiration. Χαιρετισμούς!!

    I was looking for this recipe for a long time, finally got it. 8 years ago my college seniors who were from Iran served this amazing dish after their successful P. hD submission final viva. As an Indian, I am a big fan of this dish ever since. Thank you

    That looks so delicious, Aki. Greek and IItalian food are similar, though the procedures and flavours differ. You use a lot of dill, which is not easy to find here in Rome, and cinammon. The star herb in Italy, when in season, is basil. I think Greek basil has smaller leaves. I really enjoy watching you cook. You give plenty of details and tips and make it all look so easy, and you have inspired me to try out your recipes. Thank you!

    Hi Akis I was in a village where there was a shepherd who's wife made a pita called Bobota which was made with corn ,butter, goats cheese and those wonderful herbs and many wild xorta in the 1970s and I miss those days as Greece was a wonderful romantic place at that time for me , these things are special in these villages as you can't find the real Greece in the big cities , unfortunately

    Thanks a lot for the recipe Akis. I've tried many of your recipes and my best one is your tartar sauce (because it's far better than most of our Turkish variants). I've never tried to stuff onion and my wife is an addict of cooked onion. It was a good inspiration. With your recipes i could make lots of my raki (ouzo) lover friends to adore my food (Keep as a secret please ;)) Keep in touch. Warm greetings from Neighbour.

Thank you for helping me bring back the memories through food and Greek cooking for my husband and I. I am going to make your Gemista tomorrow night for dinner and looking forward to it.

    Now I can see that cuisine of Otomanic Empire is actualy Greek. From culture perspective; in Croatia we have mediterranean food mix from italian cuisine, but continental part of country is obiviously mix of greek and austro-hungarian! :) (Y)

      I watched documentary film about Ottoman empire in which they described arrival of "Turks" in Byzantine(second Rome :)). Turks forced Greeks to left Byzantine but when they realized that they have no "culture" they asked them to return...Backthen Osmanli were just warriors
      Anyway Its nice to see someone is promoting Greek cuisine-nowdays its just Italian :)

    • @ThompterSHunson
      @ThompterSHunson 8 років тому +3

      +Ladislav Bago The truth is always in the middle. Yes Ottoman cuisine influenced by Mediterranean cuisine but it worked both ways. Greeks adopted a lot of Eastern styles and not only from Constantinople (and the Greek factor there which later in history immigrated -mostly- to Greece, bringing with them their cuisine already hevily influenced by the East) but straight from the Eastern tribes of the Ottoman empire.
