During college, I had a roommate from Lebanese heritage. His mom would send us baklava from time to time. She used honey instead of simple syrup. It was awesome. Spanakopita is probably my favorite orders at any party. Now, I have to make it for myself. Haha
I just wanted to say thank you for making and uploading these videos Martha! I really appreciate it! I've learned so much about baking from you! I don't have anybody else to teach me so you're all I've got! LOL You are like a mom to me! By the way I made your angel food cake for my nephew the other day and he loved it!
Bisteeya is so good! And a great alternative birthday pie for adventurous eaters. :) I also love that nothing gets wasted, e.g. the chicken broth going into the eggs. The almonds are so dangerously addictive, especially with orange blossom water.
Agree, baklava is not Greek but rather a Turkish dessert. In fact almost all these types of phyllo related dishes have their roots in Turkey or more specifically the Ottoman Empire. They certainly are not Greek and your research team should have done a better job in preparing the background for this segment. Similarly, the savoury dish with spinach is also not a Greek dish but rather also has roots in Turkey and is actually consumed by the entire Balkan region - many other countries such as Macedonia, Croatia and Serbia for example prepare such dishes with phyllo and use a variety of fillings from spinach, feta cheese, meat, etc. This is due to the Ottoman Empire reigning over the region for hundreds of years and leaving some of their influence in these parts.
@@julieb7659 💜hello yes baklava ottoman dessert already marth made too many wrong applications 😊 greece was once ottoman soil. and baklava is a dessert made in every soil of the Ottoman Empire.
Let’s not get into Turkey vs Greek. I also agree this version of baklava is Turkish not the delicious Greek baklava. As well this spanakopita wasn’t Greek either. I’m Greek and I should know. Many recipes are influenced by other cultures but let’s be clear most phyllo recipes are Greek. The pigeon one was defined not Greek nor was the custard pie. She took Americanized recipes and tried to make them Greek which I was greatly offended by. None of these recipes were correct
@@christina_papou First of all, the comments were to correct the incorrect references in the video. No one is making this into a Turkey vs Greek thing but you. As I commented above, there are many countries who were influenced by the Ottoman Empire given their lengthy reign over the region which included Greece. The comments above are factual and historically correct. Second, re-watch the video because Martha incorrectly makes numerous references to "Greek" dishes. And let's be clear, the phyllo dishes have their origins in Turkish roots not Greek. You can take it and add anything you want in it be it pigeon or something else, but that doesn't mean this all of sudden becomes your dish. Additionally when you refer to this "version of baklava" is not Greek is also a ridiculous comment. Again the dessert is Turkish, you can take it and change out the nuts or slightly change it for example instead of oil use butter, but that doesn't mean all of sudden another culture's traditional food becomes yours. You can't claim it just because you make a slight variation and then slap on a label of Greek and poof it becomes yours! Give credit where its due and leave other people's foods and culture to them.
Thank you Martha for these lovely recipes. Love the spinach pie. You are surely a master at baking. I only wish I had the honors of baking with you. That would be a true dream. You are marvelous. 🙂❤
Thank you. The idea of making baklava, or spanakopita had seemed intimidating, but now I think that I will definitely try the spanakopita. I'll probably make mine with some nice feta cheese mixed in. Over the holidays, I made some phyllo wrapped brie wheels to serve and so I have a wee bit of confidence with working with phyllo. :)
This was not spanakopita. I’m Greek and was taught by my mother to sauté the spinach to wilt. Then draining the remainder of water and letting cool down, add two eggs and feta cheese. I use a block of feta. To lower costs, we use Canadian made feta but Greek is the best. Then add a little milk (1tbsp) if you want to reduce the salty ness. Add a little ground pepper for flavour but no salt cause the cheese has it. We made them into squares or put it in a pan just like Martha but you have to watch a Greek on how to because we love the crust and Martha cut it out. Score it and bake it in the oven until golden brown. Make sure to use butter or Greek olive oil. Whatever your preference. Generally we use olive oil for savoury and butter for sweets. Oh and it’s ok to add herbs. I would use fresh dill.
Can I use jello pudding custard for the first recipe? Also can you plz do a series of healthy and easy meals... like crockpot and/or oven meals for busy moms or working people who are tired or fast food and also tired from working all day?
Martha, I’m a “Martha want-to-be” stalker for 30 yrs. Love baking, gardening and crafting everything! You would love my dads vegetarian shaped turkey nut loaf recipe. I have an armature video on homespunfarmhouse. No one to my knowledge has done this. We grew up with him making it every year. He became vegetarian first and passed away several yrs ago.
It's a Turkish baklava, baklava is Turkish just like yogurt and that spinach borek and soy souse is never used in Turkish or Greek cuisine. Greeks adopted Turkish cuisine during 600 years of living under Ottoman rule. Greeks have their own very good dishes with fish.
It does. It doesn't taste good without it. I grew up with my mom and aunts making homemade phyllo (amazing to watch) and they always used eggs in the spinach filling. If you can find it, use mizithra cheese. People use parmesan in its place, but it has a completely different taste.

Hey Ms. Stewart, I've been a fan of yours for some time now and that problem that happened only made me like you, even more, a former friend now enemy gave me that unfriendly book about you to read and I did read it, and when I gave it back to them with this comment to them and said that It made me respect you even more and them to no longer associate with them it has been a long time and last I heard of them they aren't in the best of everything oh dear me.
There is some telepathy working btw me and Martha. I think about it and she makes. I bought 2 packs of phillo sheets 2 days ago. Same happened with Coconut recipes also. 🤔
Martha if amyone ever plays you again...get anna holbrook...she played sharlene on daytime soap anotherworld .won emmy best actress she looks and sounds just like you...you tube sharlene another world folks...its uncanny....
Ugh I’m Greek and very offended. I know people like to bastardize other cultures recipes but this was nuts. Spanakopita isn’t made that way. Whoever makes this way is not Greek. Soy sauce? Might be similar to hortopita which is made with dandelions but spanakopita has feta and eggs. Baklava is also made with almonds or walnuts. Pistachio is made in middle eastern cultures. I make it on special occasions and the rule is hot baklava cold syrup. This was all wrong. Please stick to traditional recipes then making them your own when you’re spreading it around on UA-cam. I was flabbergasted
Thanks for watching! Which recipe will you try first?
I honestly just enjoy watching Martha make food!! So relaxing!!🤗🤗🤗🤗
How much milk need to boil?
Undoubtedly, the ruffled milk pie.
This was not Greek recipes. Idk where you got them from but they’re wrong.
💕Love you Martha💖Have a Great Easter💞❤️💞🐇🐥🐰🎨❤️
Martha has soooo much skill and talent and creativity... awesome Martha. Thanks!!!

Dreaming of a “Martha Café”!
I’d eat there for every meal!🥐☕️

Why am I all of a sudden obsessed with Martha Stewart 😂
Will certainly be making this gorgeous Moroccan Bisteeya pie ... so many working parts but so worth it ..much appreciated Martha..😊
I'm so,happy you're back posting lots of videos of yourself!
A work of art ..it looks beautiful and so delicious.
Bisteeya is so good! And a great alternative birthday pie for adventurous eaters. :) I also love that nothing gets wasted, e.g. the chicken broth going into the eggs.

I’m going to make the Easter phyllo next weekend so thanks Martha for all you do!
Thank you for the easy to follow recipes .
Yum! Lovely recipes. Thanks!🌞
I really love making phyllo puns.
But I just couldn't think of *any dough.*
I've never had any of these dishes (especially baklava), but I definitely want to try them out
Thank you.....for showing...us.....🌞🌎🌷💐💐💐💐💐🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
I was just wondering about something new I could do with Phylo dough and this pops up! Very cool
Thank you Martha.

Thank you for sharing those wonderful recipes. I appreciate you more than you know.
Beautiful and looks delicious 🤤
I have so much filo left over from holidays this seriously is coming in handy 😁
Yummy! Martha ready for Easter! 2021. I didn't know about clarified butter. Enjoy your podcast and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Martha for these lovely recipes. Love the spinach pie. You are surely a master at baking. I only wish I had the honors of baking with you. That would be a true dream. You are marvelous. 🙂❤
Lovely🌞🌎🌷
I'm going to make for Easter💐🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Looks sooo yummy good!
Love your videos Martha! You're the best. I'll try one of my favorite foods first, Spanakopita!
Thank you.

Great job Martha❤️❤️❤️
I liked so much snd i’ll try all recipes thank you so much
The masterpiece!!
Maşallah thank you for sharing this lovely recipe very nice 🌹👏
Martha, thank you for sharing your beautiful recipe and your videos. Ohhh I love your haircut, looks awesome. God bless you 🙏
All look so delicious!
Hello how are you doing today 💖
I can't wait!
This is great
Baklava. Ate tonnes of it in Turkey. Sure miss it.
Super!!😁👋👍
I have been making spinach pie far a long time I don't know how to person vs the correct name until you say it
I’m going to make that super easy delicious Greek phyllo dessert.
Nice 👍
Hey Martha, I'm thinking that about 1 and a half cups of finely grated parmesan mixed in with the spinach would have made this recipe even better!
I always make Spanakopita with good quality feta cheese, it gives quite a lot of salt into the dish, so leave the salt out. 😋
This was not spanakopita. I’m Greek and was taught by my mother to sauté the spinach to wilt. Then draining the remainder of water and letting cool down, add two eggs and feta cheese. I use a block of feta. To lower costs, we use Canadian made feta but Greek is the best. Then add a little milk (1tbsp) if you want to reduce the salty ness.

Oh and it’s ok to add herbs. I would use fresh dill.
I don’t know what I just watched but that was NOT spanakopita. Rice and soy sauce? Maybe it’s a Chinese meal?
@@christina_papou yes, soy sauce on Greek dishes instead of cheese...hmmm;) and rice?
That’s definitely Persian style baklava! We also add powdered cardamom to the pistachio grounds.
Martha how can you make spanakopita without feta cheese?
Called Boo-gah-tsah, which is a milk pie. my niece's favorite
Hello from my channel!!😁 Thank you for the video!!😁👋👍💐💐💐🌹🌷
Can I use jello pudding custard for the first recipe? Also can you plz do a series of healthy and easy meals... like crockpot and/or oven meals for busy moms or working people who are tired or fast food and also tired from working all day?
Would not be good.
Baklava yummyy 😋💙
Pistachios of Aegina island in Greece are the most delicious qualitie in the world🇬🇷
Good madam iam Indian iam big fan
yummy
The final filling is VERY different, I wish, Martha gave us the final filling recipe.
👍
Looks delicious! Martha Stewart, you are absolutely beautiful 😘

The question is how these phyllo are made? Usually they use some poisons to keep them longer on shelves, anyway thx for sharing.

เด็กๆ ดูอยากกินมากๆเลย
I've been watching pimple/cyst/inflammation/earwax videos for over an hour.
🤣
THIS was my next recommended video.....
My Son L0VES Baklava!!! I Think It's Gross. It's T00 Sweet!!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
MARTHA!!!!!!!
The spinach pie is not spanakopita without feta cheese. The rice is a substitute for cheese? I also mix in fried onions and garlic.😊
😃
Seems like Martha missed an opportunity to use a spring form pan.
DELICIOUS ❤

Baklava isn't Greek's classic it actually originated from Turkey.
Baklava!
انتى عسل يامارثا وطعامك عسل
It's a Turkish baklava, baklava is Turkish just like yogurt and that spinach borek and soy souse is never used in Turkish or Greek cuisine. Greeks adopted Turkish cuisine during 600 years of living under Ottoman rule. Greeks have their own very good dishes with fish.
👍👍👍💯
The second recipe is a Moroccan recipe!
The recipes look great but I thought Spanakopita always had feta in it?
It does. It doesn't taste good without it. I grew up with my mom and aunts making homemade phyllo (amazing to watch) and they always used eggs in the spinach filling. If you can find it, use mizithra cheese. People use parmesan in its place, but it has a completely different taste.
And never rice. I have never seen that!
So, I'm not sure who you got your Spanakopita recipe from - but it really is a very strange interpretation of the Greek classic.
Where you buy rosewater????
Hi @Darin Roberts - Rosewater can most often be found at international grocery stores, especially ones that specialize in Mediterranean cuisine. Thanks for your question.

Soya sauce? Rice? No No No
What?! Spanakopita without feta cheese!!!!
Nice not having to saute the mixture, but where is the feta cheese?
The wandering patio inspiringly fill because flugelhorn parenthetically occur save a sleepy agenda. nippy, general gentle dinghy
Did you forget the feta and eggs. This is not spanakopita
Rose water should not be added to pistachios and cinnamon, syrup should be added right away after baklava comes out of oven.
I will never see wet hospital gloves the same ever again
The roomy beautician prudently gather because harp regrettably untidy during a arrogant work. woozy, fluffy pump
Non Martha ( baklawa) c'est pas comme ça ? il faut voir la"" baklawa algérienne c'est la meilleure""...
