I came from Greece about 10 days ago, and now, I'm in love in spanakopita. Your mum is sooo sweet and passionate for cooking. A woman with big heart. ❤
I first made your mom's recipe many years ago for my own mother's birthday. She absolutely fell in love with it and she asked me for it on mother's Day and her birthday every year since then. My mom passed away recently, and I came back to this recipe to make it for the funeral celebration of life potluck we're having after her service tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know how much my mom loved your mom's cooking and recipes. All these years later... This recipe is my final gift to my mom ❤
Hey Angelo & Mama👋 I first heard of Spanakopita on the movie “My Big Fat. Greek Wedding 2” and I had to at least try! I believe I saw over 25+ tutorials on how to make it. But your mama’s video was my favorite! So I made it today Feb. 18th being her recipe so easy and watching her enjoy it so much that was the winner for me, and yes it was and is delicious!!! Please thank your mama and thank you for sharing your mama’s Spanakopita recipe. I still have a hard time saying the word but then again I’m 66 and I still love to create new recipes for my family. God bless, God is so Good! Amen!❤
I loved the video, and am going to make it very soon. I really appreciate she made It so easy to follow her instructions. I can't wait to try it. Thank you so much
What a fun video I watched. I don't think I have laughed so much watching a food video that I enjoyed and that I am going to make in the next one hour for a welcome to our street new neighbors. I am sure it will be delicious and even though I will tweak it a little bit, Angelo and Mama z thank you so much. I felt at home just like my sons and myself and I can't wait to show your video to my friends and family. My grandchildren will surely enjoy and hopefully eat your spanakopita which we call spinach bureg. God Bless you both 🙏❤🙌, you are both awesome, Mama Violet
Thanks so much for the video, it was hard finding an original greek mother cooking spanakopita on yt! I’m half greek and I don’t see my greek father anymore but I always loved his spanakopita, now I can make it for myself thank you!
I so loved the "you missed a spot" . My grandmother would have responded with" why you not outside playing. "I grew up on zelniki version. Fantastic for Feta and Spinach lovers. Great vid and hope you keep the culture cooking alive.
You’re mama is precious! 🥰 I lived in Greece for 3 years and I miss all its wonderful people everyday! I learned to cook many dishes while I was there and spinnakopita was my favorite go to! ☺️
Just made this again today. My housemate said it was the best spanakopita she EVER had -- and she's had it at many restaurants over the years. I just love it, and thank your mom for me -- as I thought I could not afford to ever eat it. Now I can make a big pan of it for less than $20 -- not exactly cheap, but not expensive either! I never cook with aluminum (as I believe it brings on the onset of Alzheimer's sooner) and use the lid of my large roasting pan which is non-aluminum. I have the feeling the only reason she says not to cut it all the way through is because she does not want to accidentally cut through the aluminum. I could be wrong, but cutting all the way through works great for me.
It's much simpler this way.... someone taught this to me some years back, which convinced me it was too difficult to make because she made the dough herself and made a huge sheets with it, which she rolled on a clean dinning table, it seemed very difficult to imitate....but after baking it tasted devine!...now even I can try🎉
Thank you for posting these videos. I’m 100% Greek by blood & my mom passed 7 years ago. I don’t remember all of the steps to make some dishes and these videos really help. Your mom & family is very cute. Does she know a dish with artichoke & rice in a red sauce. My mom would make it and I don’t remember how.
I Love this video...so fun to watch and learn and Mama is beautiful!! I Love Spanakopita and I know I cam make it after I see this.....your camera man Angelo is great!.....sounds like me and my Mama talk....Thank you so much!....I know this tastes so good...Happy Holidays!
Hi Angelo's mum she's a beautiful cook love to watch her cooking. Baklova is my favorite will make it one day will tell you how it turned out OK. Congrats on 18,000 subscribers make That 18001 hehehe keep up the good work. Love your guy's Channel.
I love this video much more than the first one you had of spinach pie! Although, I learned to make it with the first one lol. Today I’m making spinach pie and as a reference I ALWAYS go back to your mom’s video to make sure I’m doing it right!
I tried her recipe, i can replace any herbs available in my fridge. The best flavour is add spring onion, dill, leeks, if not, i'll put mint or basil, turned out my hubby ate the whole tray!
So I was in Greek town in detroit for a tattoo convention, and I had this in a Greek trio meal, and it was amazing! Well , I thought I remembered seeing this video in a play list from my second favorite Greek Mom (after my own) after learning how to make baklava ! My next meal to tackle during this crazy quarantine!
I make Pita all the time. Usually use cottage cheese and Feta. Picked up a great tip from your mom. Sprinkle water on top of the Phylo dough so it stays flat. Also, I have been using butter instead of olive oil. Think I will go with oil from now on. A more healthy version. Also, I noticed your mom eats the Pita with her hands. My 89 year old Greek mother-in-law eats hers that was as well. The older Greeks grew up eating it that way.i use a fork. Lol
OH My Goddddddd!!! That looks better than having a down and dirty climax. I love Spinach Pie . I like to put a little bit of my Greek Egg Lemon Soup/ sauce over it. I usually have two big pieces, and take two to go home. The Baklava and Greek Coffee are to die for. I love the Flaming Cheese with the "Big Greek Bread," and a big Greek Salad...And that Greek Rice Pudding...OH....Brother...I think I should have been born Greek instead of English, Irish, Scots. This is my first time I've seen your delightful channel. You are a Sweet beautiful lady, and I love to hear your wonderful little chuckles. Thank you a million times over. Oh, and what is that little mashed potato dish that is used as an appetizer with all the garlic and olive oil in it the Big Greek Bread??? I could make a meal of that. I think I would rate Greek cuisine over Italian any time. Thank you so very much.
If you don't mind an extra tool to clean, use a potato ricer to squeeze the moisture out of the spinach. It's OK to thaw the boxes, and I always believed the spinach was already cooked but I may be wrong about this. Spinach pie is among the best savory pies ever invented!
This recipe is very easy to make if you follow along with Angelo's Mom. i had no dill so I added some mint. it's a keeper and one of my favourites too. Thank you.
Lol she said what is it lol. And looked at him like don't u dare cause I am talking love love it so cute. She said if this not good I don't know what is. I know that's right 😅 love it bless her 💜
@Joyce Fisher The name of the cheese is Agra Vieira, and I think it is a cheese made from sheep milk. In other videos, it is used ricotta and feta, and it is recommended to use cheese with high fat. I used Ricotta and salted cheese made from sheep milk. Press the cc button, and you will see the subtitle.
My aunt Mary used to make something very similar to this, but she didn't put spinach in it. She used the same fillo and buttered it and mixed eggs, cottage cheese, fetta together poured it in same way and baked for an hour. I remember she called it Zelnich bread. I have no idea if that was it's true name. Could you plz ask your mom if she's heard of this? And what it would be called if so? Thank u so much in advance. Much love to you both! Plz keep cooking!!! It takes me back hm to being a child and eating all of this delicious food! XOXO 💓👌
I made Spanakopita last week, it had a few less ingredients than this as i forgot spring onions and had no dill, still delicious though. I would recommend to not even consider skimping on the bottom layers, I put four, but grandma knows best!!
Three years later and I’m still making your mom’s recipe.
By far the best recipe
I came from Greece about 10 days ago, and now, I'm in love in spanakopita. Your mum is sooo sweet and passionate for cooking. A woman with big heart. ❤

Thank you, from both me and my mom! I read her your comment and she is both sad by your loss and loved your sentiment.

Does she know a dish with artichoke & rice in a red sauce.
My mom would make it and I don’t remember how.
I’d love this recipe too. My mum would stuff the artichokes with seasoned mince and cook in red sauce. Sooo good
Keep posting videos. I love them.

New subscriber because of Mama. She was able to cut beautiful slices because she slit the phyllo before baking. Mama knows why she does things.
Thanks for the recipe! Looks amazing.
I love this lady, so much like my mom ❤

Well done...That is the thickest most impressive Spanakopita I have ever seen...BRAVA to Angelo's mom!

Seeta Younan I found it at a local Egyptian food market.

You should put Greek music on when your mum cooks !!! She would dance for us in the kitchen ! Lol
Yes, I was half expecting low volume bouzouki music to play at some point.
She's a doll!!
I love your mom. Treasure her....
Your mom is awesome! Please tell her "hara sta xeria sas"
OH My Goddddddd!!! That looks better than having a down and dirty climax. I love Spinach Pie . I like to put a little bit of my Greek Egg Lemon Soup/ sauce over it. I usually have two big pieces, and take two to go home. The Baklava and Greek Coffee are to die for.

If you don't mind an extra tool to clean, use a potato ricer to squeeze the moisture out of the spinach. It's OK to thaw the boxes, and I always believed the spinach was already cooked but I may be wrong about this. Spinach pie is among the best savory pies ever invented!
I love this cute lady.. my mom did it little different ... but I gonna make this.. I love it 🥰
love it ! thank you!
This recipe is very easy to make if you follow along with Angelo's Mom. i had no dill so I added some mint. it's a keeper and one of my favourites too. Thank you.

Could not understand the name of the second cheese - would be nice to post the name of it
@Joyce Fisher The name of the cheese is Agra Vieira, and I think it is a cheese made from sheep milk. In other videos, it is used ricotta and feta, and it is recommended to use cheese with high fat. I used Ricotta and salted cheese made from sheep milk. Press the cc button, and you will see the subtitle.
kefalograviera
kefalograviera is the name of it. Most Mediterranean grocery stores have it
That looks soooooo good.
My aunt Mary used to make something very similar to this, but she didn't put spinach in it. She used the same fillo and buttered it and mixed eggs, cottage cheese, fetta together poured it in same way and baked for an hour. I remember she called it Zelnich bread. I have no idea if that was it's true name. Could you plz ask your mom if she's heard of this? And what it would be called if so? Thank u so much in advance. Much love to you both! Plz keep cooking!!! It takes me back hm to being a child and eating all of this delicious food! XOXO 💓👌
