I was in Greece for a week two summers ago and my lunch for literally every day was pita with a lot of tzaziki! I couldn't stop eating it! I'm from Austria and I think greek food is one of the best in the world!😍
I was stationed in Athens for 4 years with the Air Force and I love the food and the Greek People. Try the Moussaka, and all the deserts too....They will almost turn you away from hamburgers.
From the top racist country Austria
I could eat gyros with tzatziki every day at least once a day. 😊
@@nman2480 No virtue signalling in here.
When I first visited Greece, I also fell in love with Tzatziki. Everytime I went out for lunch or dinner I asked for extra tzatziki haahhaa, so good!
this guy is like a young hip version of a greek grandmother
love the Greek Grandmother thing!
Lmao 👍!
😂💛
@@akispetretzikisen yes grandma for sure 🤣

Hi Akis my husband and me are mexicans. We love your kitchen and your recipes. We living in USA. Today my husband was cooked the leg of lamb greek style.
Poli kalo, Yiasas.
María, por que cocinaste a tu esposo?!!?!
Love Greek food. Love Greek culture. Love Greek people. Absolutely love them. From a Persian who loves Crete.
You should know that Greeks love Persian people as well..
@Shoahshana Goldberg-Shekelstein there's also a Persian version, which goes really well with arak/raki. But you don't hear people claiming it's Iranian and crying about it 🤣. There's a Persian dish called Mirza Ghasemi, this dish is one of the most famous/traditional starters in Iran. You wouldn't believe how many other countries have the exact same dish, and claim it to be theirs. Philippines, India and so on. We should be proud we have things in common. Greeks, Turks, Iranians, Italians and Spanish are so alike, so much in common you'd think they're all from one country. I know because I've been to all those countries and they all thought I was a local. I look more Italian than my girlfriend, and she's from Naples. She looks more Eastern European.
OMG, I came here to see how to make tzaziki and 80% of the comments are people drooling over the chef! LOL!
Yeah cuz he is hot
Um..its all we come her fir really..the sexy delicious Greek God chef. Absolutely no other reason.😉👌💗
He's very annoying. Probably has ADHD

It is an absolute joy to see someone who is so passionate about their food! Akis is a perfect ambassador for Greek food! :D
Used to live in Greece and totally agree with what I see of him!!
haha all greeks are passionate about their food......I am scottish, but had a Greek restaurant with my ex wife (Greek)......it is simple food but amazing!

I am Indian and we are proud of our food but hands down I love Greek food so much. It’s so much fun!! Thanks for the recipe.
I'm Greek and love our food but I also absolutely adore Indian cuisine!!! It is awesome!!!!!
This food isn't greek food. This is Turkish food
@@lnorinlight keep dreaming haha
@Luna's_Strawberry this is literally greek you turk
This recipe looks like fancy raita! 😀
I’m from Italy but I’m really really close to Greece. When I was little we used to go there every year, and my god I freaking loved tzatziki. I could literally eat it non stop. Every time I make it at home it brings so many memories
I was in greece in May and I had this with pita bread every single day. miss Greece so much! lots of love from India:)
enjoy it!!
yeaH i really miss de souvlakia and the Dakos salad, a place to came back
This Tz sauce is the bomb… I made it without tasting it cause I fast at a certain time. So I let my wife taste it and she said it taste better than the one we buy from the store… Thanks!
Soy argentina con nacionalidad griega, y viviendo en España. Desde Argentina que te sigo y hago tus recetas, alla me costaba mas conseguir los productos, ahora que estoy viviendo aqui en España, ya practicamente vivo de tus recetas. AMO la culta griega y pienso que tienen la mejor comida. Gracias por compartir tus recetas Akis, soy feliz haciéndolas!!
I made this for my family with chicken kabobs and it was so delicious and super easy because of watching you ! I’m Mexican and love love love Greek food! I love that you cook authentic dishes and not watered down Greek😏! Love your food!
God bless the Greeks...

GeX223 omg... do you seriously believe this...?!
Even the word "europe" comes from Greece.We don't ruin anyone.
GeX223 Actually we invented Europe
Love Greeks and Greece ❤️ I’m Sicilian, our roots are Greek
Akis, i'm so glad i found your channel. I spent one month in Greece with my husband, and we just loved the greek food. Now i can try to do all that wonderful food in my own house! Thanks for sharing this great recipes with us! We greet you from Brazil!
+JULIANA Silva Stay tuned for more Greek recipes!!!
I very fondly remember going to Agistri as a child and eating Tzatziki and fresh bread every day I was there. Hands down the best sauce on the planet.
I lived in Athens, Greece for 5 years, 1989-1994. Greek yogurt IS the best. They only used Fage brand then. Looks delicious. Greece is an amazing country and the people too. Some day I want to go back.
The sauce for supper........the chef for desert. BON APPÉTIT
This took me back to my Navy days in Mikonos, Greece. That sauce is the TRUTH! I think I"m going to make some lamb gyros and reminisce.
Thank you! I made it and it didn't last 10 minutes on the table, everybody loved it! Perfect. Thank you! Greetings from México 🇲🇽! ❤️
I’m a bit late but I was in Greece for a month 14 years ago and have had tzatziki so many times in the states and it has never hit the same and this really takes me back. Thanks for the content and love the enthusiasm
Akis! This sauce is EXCELLENT! I made this, your chicken gyro, and Pita bread for dinner today! It smelled sooooo good in my house and everyone LOVED it! My daughter made herself a Caesar salad and put the gyro chicken on it, she was happy! 😁Thank you so much for sharing your excitement about Greek food with us! Hugs from Texas, USA.🌹
"I'm going to begin by peeling my cucumber"...Well that escalated quickly.

Just as he was saying this I saw your comment😂😂😂😂😂
Ben Markham 😆
I was sure, someone will write this!!! Thank you))))))
Lol
His accent Is the male Greek version of Sofia’s Vergara Latin accent... 🤣🥰
The greek accent in english sounds like the spanish one 😊
🤣😂 true!!!
cause Latin comes from Greek
❤️❤️❤️😆😆😆😆😆😆
Greek and Spanish accents very similar but with some very minor differences.
That’s what we need in the kitchen, a cute Greek guy to teach us how to cook. I’d attend his class. I guess subscribing will have to do lol.
I'm from Mexico, I had the chance to try some Tzatziki back in Europe long time ago, was craving for it so bad, made your recipe today, and it was perfect! thanks Akis for this great recipe!
+ixgoor ix (伊雪儿) Great!!
I have to agree - the Greek yoghurt is the best one in terms of texture (thick, creamy, rich in flavor) - I always buy it not only for Greek dishes, but for everything that uses yoghurt as an ingredient. Thank you, Akis, for the recipe!
Marcus Ettery Thank you!
Marcus Ettery en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogurt
+Efe Can AKGÜL Yogurt as a word is a turkish word. But are you sure that its a Turkish recipe? Like the link says, there are many countries that do Yogurt-like creams (or Tzatziki) like yours and greek.
Thank you for the link. Didn't know that stuff
"The cuisine of ancient Greece included a dairy product known as oxygala (οξύγαλα) which is believed to have been a form of yogurt.[19][20][21][22] Galen (AD 129 - c. 200/c. 216) mentioned that oxygala was consumed with honey, similar to the way thickened Greek yogurt is eaten today."
fidemp0ras haha "which is believed tp be yoghurt" lol you greeks are funny. according the ancient texts " greeks used to drink dark fizzy drink, which is believed to be coke"so greeks invented come then lolol
Not buying store bought anymore after watching this gentleman make it.
Who is this Greek Zak Efron 😆
Needless to say I subscribed
Just discovered you thx to foodtube. I instantly fell in love with your channel and expect to live a long life together learning to cook amazing food.
Finally, legit Greek food! Ευχαριστώ!!
La cocina griega de Akis es espectacular, sencillo y sobretodo mantiene esa esencia de lo tradicionalmente helénico, es maravilloso 😍
Gracias Akis 🇪🇸❤️🇬🇷
i made this together with the gyro chicken. it taste so good and i am so happy my boys loved it. my husband never eats yogurt but he ate a lot of this. thank you for sharing this recipe. I finally made something that tasted so good and so healthy at the same time for my family.
It was about time you've made an English channel Akis!Now you can show the rest of the world your absolutely spectacular recipes!By the way, your tzatziki rocks :)
Crasous Thanks!
+Crasous thank you so much dude...

Έφτιαξα το τζατζίκι χθες! Το έφαγα με τον γύρο και ήταν πάρα πολύ νόστιμο! Το ελληνικό φαγητό είναι σούπερ! ❤️😋

One of the best sauces ever!
I made it today thank you akis ! i have always thought japanese sauce was the most delicious but after i ate this greek sauce from you i can say it : the Tzatziki sauce is the most delicious sauce that i have ever tasted in my life ! thank you Akis for sharing this deeply,my dad's family is actually greek but i dont have much contact with them and their culture soo i am ' half-greek ' i feel like i am touching my roots eating this even though i have never ever had direct contact. I also did your chicken and pita bread . i am going to try the mussaka and the other cheesed bread baked one ( sorry forgot the name ) next week when friends will come to stay in my house for weekend ! everything was delicious and healthy !soo i have to thank you again Akis i would never had a chance to be able made this but you made it possible ( :
I'm making this tzatziki now to have with my dinner. I have some homegrown garlic, cucumber and dill from my garden, so this recipe definitely is a must. A huge efharisto from Sweden!
Neuer had zaziki in germany with Dill. But graved Salmon.
I can't thank you enough for this recipe. I made about half a gallon for family Easter yesterday and every drop of it is gone. It is hands down the best tzaziki I have ever had in my life, no less the best I have ever made myself. Thank you from the bottom heart!
how much yogurt do you use, please?
@@darylhyde796 for half a gallon I used two quarts of the thickest Greek yogurt I could find. 1 quart still makes a lot and it's a little easier to control the flavors.
Thank you so much!! Gonna make it tomorrow
One of my absolute favourite things about Greek cuisine is Tzatziki sauce! So delicious with so many dishes. Greek olive oil really is the secret of life :)
It is NOT a sauce.
Sorry I got distracted, what were we making? 😅😅☺️
Fried chicken 😂😂😂😂
Chief cucumber, I think... :-P
Me too 😃😁
Some kind of cake, I suppose..?
@ 🤣
I lived in Athens for 4 years, and ate this everyday. It has to be the best flavor you can add to any food. Love it, love it, love it....
I made this recipe today and it was to die for! My husband and kids ate it all up with our gyros. Thank you!!
I love his honesty!!!! Tasted it and meh - needs more salt *adds way more salt* - OH YEAH!!!!!
This is great as a dip, healthy and delicious. Yes, Greek yogurt is the best. Never thought this German would be crazy for such healthy and tasty Greek foods. Thank you for helping me to learn to begin making these smaller dishes.
Thank u! ❤️
it is not greeek it is turkish
This is the first video of this guy that I'm watching and I absolutely love it. His enthusiasm and energy is so good. Love it!
Thank u! ❤️
Thank you for the recipe, I made this and ate it with pita for a few days and around day 3 the flavors have all combined and boosted each other and this sauce is absolutely delicious 😋
Made this today, most amazing Tzatziki i've had! I had to use Lemon Vinegar and it's a very good replacement!
made this tonight, awesome, my new favourite. thanks Aki!!!
Hey Akis, i‘m 17 years old and i did. the tzatziki and the pita bread today. My whole family loved it! Thank you for the recipe, it was delicious🥰
Made this yesterday, had homemade pork gyros and greek pita bread too (your recipes). OMG! Loved it! I have made tzatziki before but this one is to kill for. It was delicious and the dill (if any complain, says optional), was a nice suprise. The white vine vinegar was a hit, never thought about that, made the whole tzatziki complete. Thank you Akis for all your lovely recipe! Greetings from Sweden😍
Used spanish extra virgin olive oil instead of greek... Now my kitchen is on fire
+jmiquelmb well, there is a difference depending on where the olives come from, because the grounds haven't got the same characteristics everywhere, plus every type of olives has its own aromas which affect the oil afterwards. for example because we have many types of olive oils from many types of olives we can get our hands on the most tastefull olive oils. of course u can use whatever u have or whatever u can afford, because olive oil is expensive abroad, but if u taste the real deal, u will see the difference... whether it's greece, italy or spain u have to taste olive oil from someone who produces it, preferably a small family business.
Astrid Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm from Spain, so I buy Spanish EVOO on the supermarket because it's the easiest to find. I want to find a good local producer of olive oil nearby, but it's become more difficult nowadays, sadly. But I doubt my palate can discern the taste in a youghurt sauce like tzatziki anyway, so to me decent oil is good for now
+jmiquelmb Also useful to point out that large quantities of Greek extra virgin olive oil are purchased by Spanish producers and are blended in Spanish olive oil to up it's quality. Maybe you could contact some producers from Greece and have them ship you some. It would worth your money and trouble I can guarantee you that. The difference in taste and health benefits are enormous plus you could get a semi-large quantity and pass 1 whole year as it never goes bad.
+tsibosp Now you've offended my national pride. You better take that back.
Nah, just kidding haha. I've seen some bottles mixed with portuguese and moroccan oil, but I think it's more due to cost reasons than quality. I'll stick to national oil for now, but I'll sure try yours when I visit Greece
+jmiquelmb that's because you need to use the best....ITALIAN of course :)
Looks so yummy! I am so glad you made an English channel! I love love Greek food
You are a cutie if it is you on the pic
I did the sauce two times so far and I really love the freshness of it! I feel pretty much ashamed now that I bought the sauce all these years in the supermarket! 😁 Many greetings from Germany!
This guy's energy is exactly how the sauce hits my taste buds every time I take a bite with some pita bread
Akis I'm your new fan. I'm writing you from Nicaragua, loved this sauce, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, I'm sending you a big hug! 🤗
I subscribed after hearing the accent for the first 5 seconds 😆
I love Greece since meeting my ex. But most importantly the food bringing family together....OPA!
I LOVE COOKING HOMEMADE GREEK FOOD. SUPERB
Very clear without unnecessary talking and most importantly made with passion ! Excellent
I just luv luv luv Greek food..all your recipes are amazing!..summer and Greek food are the best!!!
Hi can i use apple cider iinstead of white vinegar?
Άκη, πιο πολλά είναι τα σχόλια για την ομορφιά σου παρά για το υπέροχο τζατζίκι που ετοίμασες! Α ρε Έλληνα παιδαρά! Όπως και να'χει όλα τα καλά σχόλια τα αξίζεις!
How I love to watch you and your accent with all the gestures you make while cooking! All the best!
I love this man’s channel ❤️
The best thing about this video is the chef enjoys cooking...i mean I am smiling all through the video
Or , maybe the film was upsidedown!?
,😁
I made Gyros with Tzatziki according to your recipes and they turned out great! I'm a vegetarian, so instead of meat I used portobello mushrooms sliced on big chunks - kinda like steak fries. Your marinade for gyros is absolutely fantastic! And your recipe for Tzatziki was the best I've ever made. Thank you!
sounds amazingly good, i need to try this
it is not greeek it is turkish . and name is cacik.
Akis, you are exellent... Many greetings from Belgrad, Serbia, to our brothers, to Greek, volimo vas
Akis...have made this several times...every time it's been a winner...ty for this and ur other amazing recipes...just loving it..🙏🌺🌹
I have just found your channel and I fell in love with it! Thanks for the great recipes!
my pleasure!!! enjoy!
I waitressed at a “semi fine dining” Greek restaurant a few years ago and I’ve been yearning for tzatziki sauce ever since. Not sure why it’s taken me like six years to finally think “hmm maybe I should just make some myself”, so finding this video was definitely a come up. I used to sneak pita chips with a little pinch of tzatziki sauce when I’d come to work hungry and OMG it was like the best thing EVER. Our head chef was this ornery, old, terrifying Greek man named Georgios who was a real tool. Idk that he was capable of speaking to anyone in any volume lower than “absolute yelling” (unless he was talking to one of the two Greek owners-Mr. Sarris or Mr. Kanakis-since these men essentially wrote his checks), and he was less than approachable. So I’m thankful that I have UA-cam as a resource to try and get access to an authentic tzatziki sauce once again. Now if I could just find a good recipe for loukamades and I’d be SET.
Also, totally agree that Greek yogurt is the only appropriate base for this, but ALSO, Greek yogurt is just better all around, PERIOD. I don’t even eat traditional yogurt anymore. “The Greek Gods” brand, honey vanilla flavor, with actual honey added is better than any Dannon, Go gurt, yoplait whips nonsense that you could try instead. Also try substituting Greek yogurt for sour cream on a baked potato. You can barely tell the difference and it’s a lot healthier. I’m just saying; once you get hooked on Greek yogurt, it seems senseless to ever go back to what you ate before 🤷🏻♀️
I love to watch Akis’s channel.I’ve been following his channel for about two years now.I love your story and think the Greek yogurt is the best.I made a video on my channel about this delicious Greek sauce,and I wrote to Akis to let him know. Thank You for sharing your story.God Bless You.At the hospital where I’ve been working for forty years now,Mount Sinai Medical Center, I worked with a pharmacist from Australia and we became good friends.She retired a few months back but we still stay in touch.She is ten years older than I. I’m 61.I met her family through Facebook and keep in touch.It was nice writing to you.I made the sauce again and I saw his channel again so I won’t miss any steps.
😂🙏🏼
Are you ok there? 😂😩
I LOVE THIS i always come back to this video to make the recipe, it tastes so good and fresh !!
Merci Akis, merveilleusx coulis.
Too cute, love his accent and he is very handsome. Great recipes too. Love the guy.
I just love this stuff, I will put it on almost literally anything. Aside from pitas, gyros, and souvlaki, I include it on charcuterie plates, use it as a spread on sandwiches or burgers, and have even used it as the dressing for potato salads. The sour-savory combination and the fresh herbaceous flavor will compliment and brighten nearly anything. If every restaurant had a bottle of this magic laying around, I have no doubt that it would displace ranch dressing as the sauce that Americans put on absolutely everything.
So delicious and easy, love it. Solo much better than commercial store bought. Thank you! I love all your recipes
Thank you Akis for your delicious Greek recipes, You are Amazing !!! 💞🎉🌞
I loveeeeed the way you spoke english
I don't know why other youtubers don't use vinegar... I allways felt that something was missing when preparing it.
I love this recipe, it's the best, I love sour foods and sauces! 😍 Greetings from Romania!🤗
My search for the perfect tzaziki recipe is over. So straight forward and well explained .
Love Greek food. I used to go to Mama Yaya restaurant in Houston when traveling there.
Thanks Akis....always wanted to make this
love your recipes, made this and felt like I was back in Skiathos! Thank you :)

1/4 bunch dill, finely chopped (optional)
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1 pinch salt
pepper
To serve
souvlaki
pita breads

herbs, fresh
1/3 or 1 to 3?
1 to 3 cloves garlic.
Sorry bout the typo.
@@discoguy206 No, he did say 1/3 of the clove of garlic. It's on his website
@@too2great8 If he said 1/3rd clove of Garlic he must mean 6 cloves haha
Thanks for the recipe, but especially thanks for the smiles and enthusiasm
Omg I LOVE the he uses the vinegar!! I honestly don’t think I’ve seen any other Greek cooks add that. My family in Greece taught me to always add it. Well done- the best recipes! I also the love the little clay container he served it in, in Greece in stores where they still make homemade yogurt they sell the yogurt in those - glazed on the inside not on the outside. They are so lovely. Bravo!
Thanks Aki! Great energy in this video.
Thumbs up mate I'm heading Greece in 12 days for Christmas holidays and new year yupiiiiiii my mouth watering already waiting for great souvlaki efcharisto para poli
Kalimèra...Yay finally a Greek chef on UA-cam!
This is appetizing. Even authentic! I’m Greek in my heritage on my mother’s side
Mmmm reminds me of home 😍
Dont know which one looks better?! The tzatziki or the chef??

Akis, so great to listen to you and to prepare your fantastic Tzatziki. I have used Spanish olive oil and it went well too... much easier to find it in Spain, where I am from than the greek one!!! Thanks for sharing and for your great sense of humor
