    I love Greek food and this is a great video about Greek cooking! I had Greek neighbors living across the street from me when I was growing up, and I used to go over there and play with their kids and many times eat dinner there too. I distinctly remember the spanakopita, moussaka, and baklava. Yummm!

    Beautiful recipe. this is how my grandmother made it. But she also added onion, oregano,leeks chopped up to the mixture and pepper. And as for absorbing the liquids in the pie while its baking, she added rice. Thanks for uploading this video. :)

    Every culture has their version of "pizza", and none of them were called "pizza" back in the day. To think that one culture as old as Greece or Italy would need to "steal" anything is preposterous!

      That's just modern-day "politically-correct-talk". But there is also History to set things straight. The Ancient Greeks invented pita and transferred the idea to Southern Italy, then a Greek colony. It is not a coincidence that Napoli, which was founded by the Greeks (Νεάπολις, meaning New City), is regarded as the "birth-place" of modern pizza.

      I am glad to see so many educated people here. Sincerely. It makes me feel so good. YES the Hellenes invented what is called PIZZA today, but the Italians added significantly to it as they did with every HELLENIC invention that they copied.

    Never seen that kind of "spanakopita" in any of the Greek islands, and no you don't put raisins in a traditional spanakopita (huh ???). What Aglaia is doing is more like a "greenopita". Still, it's probably quite nice, gotta try it some day.

    All of that and you don't get to see the finished spanakopita?? BTW, I am Greek and my mother taught me to make the filling in a way that does create extra moisture and sogginess: all the greens + the salts are put in a large bowl together, and then kneaded and bruised until liquid is released. Then you take handfuls and you squeeze out the liquid (which you could save for use in a green smoothie or drink.

    Great video. Unfortunately I must agree with the writer before me, unless you get to the CIA's video by chance they never come in any search when one is looking for recipes, it must be because of no one is taking the time to tag "search words" in the proper place here, nor really try to promote the videos, even though as we can see that a plenty of good energies were put in to create them.
    Thanks for the video's anyway.

    Do a DNA test as I did and you will find the true definition of Greek Roman. The concept was that people settled and that made them Greeks. The DNA I did take from Ancestry.com and I am going to take from National Geographic genetic project. My generations and generations indicate sixty five percent European Greek Roman no distinction that is how connected we all are with seven percent middle eastern and eight percent from area near Georgia where the cave people settled and exchanged goods. We are all brothers and sisters the differences are culture period. Religion is another matter but culture defines regions. I am first American Greek from Sparta and Athens. Greek meant many peoples gathering to live in an area. Take Athens now: wow people of color, various nationalities, with transportation easier, and with shipping it is to be expected that people settle and the mingling of cultures makes them Greek. I watched some cook shows were people of color asian and others living in Greece speaking the language will make them Greek. I love it.
    The world is smaller. Some of this food that I make from childhood is made by others such as Persians, Arabs, Russians, Albanians, Turkish people, etc etc. The share the same food different foods. I identify heavily with Greece and often wish my parents did not come here. It is confusing to have one foot in motherland, and one foot her in the states where I was born. My children do not have that problem. I did. I spoke Greek first.
    I do not want false pride because of my heritage that mentality gets us all in trouble. Feeling superior to another. I just love the Greek country. I lived there for one year only.
    I love many things about Greece but there are many equally beautiful parts of the world sharing the same foods and climate. If I could, I would love to retire there.

      Well pizza is a Greek bread! The Ancient Greeks had a flat bread called plakous (πλακοῦς, gen. πλακοῦντος - plakountos) which was flavored with toppings like herbs, onion, and garlic. Naples was a Greek city ,since the bronze age,and this is how the pizza (πλακοῦς,) was introduced in Italy!

      Collins i think you are confused mate. The pizza was the first thing she made the one you are talking about its a Spanakopita and it is definitely not a pizza. And believe it or not the first version of Pizza was indeed made by the Ancient Greeks... but ofcourse the Italians took it to another level over the centuries that is why nowdays everyone knows Pizza as part of the authentic Italian cuisine. And for a good reason, no problem whatsoever for it to be Italian.

      ​@@captainjim1010the italians have copied almost everything. even the macaroni that the ancient greeks in many regions of greece made mainly at funerals and this custom still exists today here in greece.although the Romans who spread these in the Italian peninsula are probably an archaic race and have origins in Achaia.
