I made this yesterday, 22nd February 2024 & my niece stated “it is so good it’s like food from heaven” I added black olives & leek. Thank you for sharing 🇨🇦
I don't cook much of anything. But, I do like watching Dimitra cook. Because she uses her hands, just like my mother, grandmother, and great aunts. Just lovely!
I’ve eaten a lot of Spanakopita in my life and this is the very best recipe I’ve ever had! I was worried about using fresh spinach without cooking and squeezing out the liquid first, but it came out absolutely perfect without doing that. My entire family loved it. Thank you!
This was my first time making Spanakopita. I was lucky to start with the best recipe. I made a couple with spinach from my garden and the second time used plain organic whole milk yogurt instead of ricotta. I like the slightly acid taste even better. The third time, yesterday, I used kale instead of spinach since it is what is currently growing in the garden, I love it equally... Thank you!
My gosh... first time I made this and it was wonderful. You do a great job explaining and simplifying for people, like me, who thinks this is way more complicated and wouldn’t try. My family loved it.
Okay, I never follow recipes on You-Tube, but I was desperate to find a Spanakopita recipe that was as good as what we ate in many of the finer restaurants in Greece. Everyone seems to have their own spin on this dish, that it never turns out good or authentic. I cannot BELIEVE how wonderful this recipe is!! Absolutely DELICIOUS! THANK YOU for sharing it with us. I will be a lifelong follower! 🙏🏼
Made this tonight, changed NOTHING! It was WONDERFUL!!! Everyone had seconds and raved about it and asked for your WEBSITE! Which I was very happy to share! Thank you !!! 😘
This is the best and easiest spinach pie recipe. I have made it quite a few times and my family requests this meal repeatedly. It is so favorable and tasty.
I made this today and the results were phenomenal. Don't skip the lighty crumpled fillo on the top -- it's visually beautiful when it comes out of the oven and adds a nice crunchy texture. The herb and cheese mixture is perfect. I also love how this is made in a 1/2 sheet pan, which is perfectly sized for fillo sheets, and leaves you with enough entree-sized servings to feed a crowd. My only recommendation if you make this recipe is to not change a thing. Follow the instructions exactly, and you will be delighted with the results!
My mum has moved interstate and her spinach pie is the best, now we are in state lockdown I haven't seen her all year, and I miss her and her cooking, I have now made this recipe so many time now, my mum is so jealous as she never did this with the pastry and I send her videos of me cutting into mine and she is so impressed lol I love love this recipe! Thank you
i am from afghanistan and i was living in greece for 12 years . one of my favourite breakfast all the times spanakopita it's totally different in the world especially when everything is cooking fresh this is the first time i saw a greek lady speak english like you born in america
I am absolutely addicted to this dish I could eat this 24 hours a day 7 days a week it is so good and thank you oh thank you so much for sharing this recipe
Dear Dimitra, I made this spinach pie. It disappeared very quickly! It is the best recipe by far, from the way I used to make it. I'm sticking with your channel. Your recipes are amazing. Keep cooking and sharing. So grateful I found this channel! I can't wait to share this with my Greek extended family. I will recommend you.
I have only made spanakopita once before and felt intimidated that my first attempt was soggy and heavy, but after seeing Dimitra's video, I made it for Sunday dinner tonight (along with maroulosalata). I hadn't heard the term "half sheet baking tray" before, so I googled and found that none of my baking pans were the correct dimensions. So my sweet husband was so excited about me making this recipe, he ran to Target today to get me a half sheet baking tray, LOL! This recipe and Dimitra's method is truly fantastic and uncomplicated...it produced the most light, flavourful, fresh and wonderful spanokopita we've ever had! The phyllo dough is wonderfully crispy and there is no "sogginess" that some spanokopitas have! This recipe is a keeper. Thank you, Dimitra, for your wonderful videos. Your friendly personality and clear and concise videos are a joy to watch. I'm Armenian, but a huge fan of Greek cuisine, and your recipe for spanokopita is one I will make again and again.
After searching the web for the best spanakopita recipe, I came across your video and must say that it was a huge hit. So simple to make. All the other recipes called for sauteeing and other complications. Not only was your recipe easy to follow but sooooo delicious. The herbs gave it a wonderful touch. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes with us.
@Edna Turner I'm sure you can adjust to your liking. I felt she explained perfectly, if you didn't like the video perhaps you should of watched something else! 😆✌
This has been my "go to" video for over a year now. I've bookmarked it and saved it to my Playlist. It's such a simple and basic recipe and as for the taste, I'll stack it up against any I've had and that includes the restaurants in Tarpon Springs, Florida and Detroit, Mi, two cities with huge Greek influences. I love Spanakopita so much that every time I had it I'd think, "I have to learn to make it" but thought it would be to complicated. That is until I got serious and searched UA-cam for a good video. Thank you for posting this Dimitra. I'm making it again today for dinner and I swear I've made it so much, a bit of a Greek DNA is infiltrating my Polish heritage. :-D
As a greek boy and being taught by my mother. Your recipes are fabulous. You have taught me so much. Ta hell with the triangles I have been making all these years, And the sauted spinach. Love your recipe and TY TY!
Made this today and it was absolutely delicious. I see alot of people in the comments complaining about the ricotta cheese. I don't know why. The texture was fine and all I tasted was the spinach and the feta. I thought it was a great recipe.
Look no further...this is the BEST recipe on line! The flavor is so rich and the topping trick with crumpled phyllo dough sheets makes it beyound perfect. I have tried this recipe with lots of fresh dill, Spanish Carbonelle olive oil, frozen spinach and even red onions. It always comes out amazing. Love you Dimitra!
Super easy. Mine came out exactly like hers , which we all know never happens. Thanks for this amazing recipe. It never lasts more than a day in my house
This is the best method I've ever seen for spanikopita. This dish is my daughter's favorite meal since she was little and I still make it for her birthday. I hope her daughter will like it someday too. I'll try making it without cooking the spinach and leave it in the oven longer. Thank you so much!
This is ABSOLUTELY the BEST spinach pie I've ever had. I have made numerous recipes and even though the ingredients are usually very similar between recipes, this one is PHENOMENAL! I made it exactly as stated but my pan was slightly smaller but not a problem. It crisps up nice in the toaster oven for leftovers. I will use more layers for the bottom layer next time. And there will be MANY more "next times"! I think the fresh spinach is what puts this over the top! Make it, you won't be sorry!
OMG, THAT IS THE BEST PIE I HAVE EVER SEEN AND YOU MADE IT EASY TO MAKE WITH YOUR DIRECTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOUR RECIPE IS MY NEW FAVORITE SPINACH MEAL.
The best Spanakopita ever, it's easy to make, it takes less time than other recipes that instruct you to boil the spinach. This recipe holds all the nutrients of the spinach, its juicy and incredibly tasty. Thank you.
Dimitria, thank you. Well explained, you didn't waffle on and on. Previously I had pre cooked the greens. Will never do that again. Your family recipe is the best. Give yr mum or grandmother a hug for me. 🙏
Hi, I see that you made this recipe recently. Is there a printed recipe on this site for the spanakopita or did you just get an ingredient list from the video? Thank you.
brilliant.. easy to follow recipe... and i love that youre real... quantities, chopping, laying pastry... just basic like i would do in my own kitchen.. really enjoyed the video
I worked with phyllo for the first time yesterday making spanakopita and your instructions and tips made it so easy. The dish came out perfect! Thank you.
I made it! My husband says it's the BEST SPANAKOPITA he has ever had! Thank you so much! I want to try stuffed Grape Leaves, but I can't find an recipe on your channel. May God continue to Bless the work of your hands!
That's a great way to make the best spanakopita ever. No overcooking of spinach or super salty mixture, also crunchy and moist. Bravo Dimitra, euharisto
This is AMAZING! I have made this dish on several occasions. Each time, I have received so many compliments about this dish. Than you very much for sharing with us this delicious and easy to follow recipe!
I made this spanakopita for a dinner party and it was amazing! I have made spanakopita several times and I like this recipe the best. Thank you for sharing it.
I need smaller pieces to feed more people. Definitely going to try for my Christmas brunch. There are so many sweet recipes, I'm looking for savory recipes. Harder to find. This is a winner for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there. I made this best SPANAKOPITA many times and it's DELICIOUS thank you. I tried the same recipe but making medium size triangles and no green onions and it's amazing !!!!! Love it ! The spinach is never overcooked and it's moist and crispy on the outside Just perfect thank you Dimitra
You've GOT me dear lady - I haven't had a 'spinach pie' for some years. AND I will cut in halves .... today and tomorrow...... theres no one else only me. THANK YOU
This a very nice method and the end product is exceptional. I have used this recipe multiple times and find that it works best for me also. A must try!
I just made this for the first time and it came out really well! Wonderful recipe. I didn't have the 1/2 sheet baking tray, so I used a big 14" castiron pan and it came out just as crispy and delicious.
Just found this recipe. I’ve looked at several UA-cam videos looking for a spinach pie recipe. Yours was the best. Your video is so easy to follow and very well explained without being over wordy. Very quick and to the point but very informative! I haven’t made it yet but I will be this week! Thank you!!!
Dear Dimitra! Thank you thank you! I made this yesterday, I wanted to post a picture but it was gone before I got a chance! I did add pine nuts and it was amazing!!!!
I made this today and This is my MOST Favorite. I love all the dill in it. I did add 2 TBLS of Garlic but OMG amazing. Thank you Dimitra!!!! Thank you for sharing.
I made this but vegan. It was amazing. I used a mixture of soft and hard tofu, crumbled (2 cups), 2-3 cups Daiya cheese, 2 cups ground celery, 1 cup ground green peppers, 1tb black pepper, a pinch or 2 of cayenne, 2-3 tb soy sauce , one cup finely blended chickpeas, 4-5 lbs fresh chopped baby spinach. I did same way she did the filo and xvirgin oil but I used 10 layers at the bottom. Bake at 350 for an hr. or less.
Thank you Dimitra for sharing your recipe. I have always loved eating Spanakopita everytime we go on holidays to Greece but I had never found a good recipe like yours!! I prepared it for my husband and myself last week and yours is the best ever!! We loved it!!. I will be preparing them for my sons who are coming to see us next weekend, I am sure they will love it too!! Thank you again!!
Unbelievable! I’d never made such a thing. I followed Dimitra’s video directions exactly and ended up with the most beautiful and delicious spanakopita. It was golden, juicy, and perfectly made. My guests were stunned. Any reservations I might have had about working with phyllo were all allayed by the result! When I pulled it out off the oven and set it out on the counter, it was met with oohs and aahs. And I made it! Thanks, Dimitra.
I finally made it and shared. Everyone loved it! I simply added more spinach and it was perfect. Will become a regular dish in my home! Yummy, yummy. Thanks again for making video!
My YiaYia always had this made already so I have been trying to figure out her recipe for months. THIS is the closest I found, and WONDERFUL!!! My YiaYia passed away years ago (I am 53), but I just smile thinking about her while I am making and eating spanikopita. :):):) Thank you for your hints, like cutting it ahead of time! Now I know why mine was always making such a big mess. I am now teaching my own children how to make it like this; it is a clessic in our family.
I made this today for lunch in my restaurant, it was delicious and all who had it raved about the flavor I used fresh dill and added a few extra scallions the flavor was so fresh. The phyllo i used however did not have as many layers/sheets as yours did but i made it work I only had 2 sheets left to ruffle on the top, but it still came out beautiful
Absolutely delicious! I made it for a dinner party of eight this week, served it with fresh heirloom tomatoes and stuffed grape leaves. It was so good, I am making it for a smaller dinner get together tonight. Oh, and I tweaked it using a recipe from a Greek friend of mine by adding 8 oz of parmesan and using only 8 oz of feta. Superb!
Dimitra. You are the best. I use your recipes and they come out AMAZING!!! Thank you for your guidance in delicious Greek cooking. Oh. You are Beautiful!!!!
I love Mousakka! I have looked and can't find it if you do.. My daughters worked at a greek restaurant throughout high school and he turned us on to it..he has since moved away and I've tried to make it the way he did but can't seen to find the right recipe..He had a sauce on top and layers I have used zuchinni instead of eggplant in season and my layers were more a mushroom cherry tomatoes sauce was so good....thank you
Made this with your Saganaki recipe. Wow this is so easy and not pre-cooking the spinach makes a big difference. Do not skip the instructions to add phyllo on top. It really does make it fluffy. We reheated the next day and it was just as crunchy. My mom did not want to share the leftover for other family members because she loved it so much. Thanks for sharing the recipe. My dad is diabetic and he ate this dinner and his sugar count the next morning was right on.
I'm so glad your family enjoyed this recipe as much as I do! keeping the spinach uncooked gives it such a wonderful fresh flavor. Not to mention it's less work :) Thanks for watching!
Oh wow! I tried this recipe tonight and it was delicious! I had another recipe which cooked the spinach until I found yours! I did use a small amount of leek, red onion and scallions in the mixture. Absolutely LOVED this recipe! No more having to buy from Sam's ! Thank you
Hi from Australia. I have never made spanakopita in my life (I'm 72), though I have eaten it !! I found this video, followed it exactly, and WOWSER....it was SO GOOD. The only difference in mine was, I had only bought 1 bunch of fresh dill, and as it was quite a strong flavour it didn't matter. Otherwise, thank you so much for the clarity of your instructions. My husband loved it, and as it's just the two of us, there was plenty to store in the freezer for later (and it freezes well).
Came here to see if it had the DILL. It does! Dill is essential. [One national brand of packaged spanakopita doesn't include dill. (If you buy it, sprinkle the dill on the top as you bake it. Thank me later.)] I thought I invented using olive oil for the fat - instead of butter. (Use butter for the baklava.) Of course I was delusional as olive oil would be common in Greece, and butter less so. The first few times I made this, I used butter. Then I decided I wanted a quick method to do this and used olive oil. Turned out great and it is the standard way for me now. Finally, reading the comments, in my experience garlic is NOT traditional, nor is lemon juice nor lemon zest (peel). I wouldn't use garlic - ever, makes it a different dish - nor use lemon juice - too runny. The lemon zest would not be a sin, but isn't needed. I saw that some said they added pine nuts. That is fine, but again, it isn't traditional. This is the REAL DEAL. Bravo, Dimitra!
Thank you very much, it is seriously the best spanakopita in the world! I have made it now several times and it was amaaazing every time!!! God bless you Dimitra! ❤

Looks absolutely fantastic
I make this in abu dhabi with a lovely salad and it tastes like it's from a gourmet restaurant....it's never flopped ever thank you
I have only made spanakopita once before and felt intimidated that my first attempt was soggy and heavy, but after seeing Dimitra's video, I made it for Sunday dinner tonight (along with maroulosalata).

This is exactly how I've made my spanikopita for years. I'm glad to finally have found a Greek cook vlogger. 😊
Really!! How amazing. You're the second person that has ever said that. First, was my mom :) All the best and thanks for watching!

ευχαριστώ Dimitris. I will try this recipe at home. I worked in the past throughout the Greek community. Those were the best times of my life.
I meant Dimitria. Oops
Can we acknowledge the beautiful plate decorated with olives? That is the perfect plate for spanikopita!
Hands down, this is the absolute BEST spanakopita!! It is a huge success every time I make it. Thank you Dimitra!!!
Your teaching instructions are perfect. I made this today and it is better than any Greek restaurant. Thank you

My guests were stunned. Any reservations I might have had about working with phyllo were all allayed by the result! When I pulled it out off the oven and set it out on the counter, it was met with oohs and aahs. And I made it! Thanks, Dimitra.
I finally made it and shared. Everyone loved it! I simply added more spinach and it was perfect. Will become a regular dish in my home! Yummy, yummy. Thanks again for making video!
Perfect! thanks for letting me know and for watching :)
How much more spinach did you add?!
Really great. my friends just loved it. It was so simple to do as I followed your steps religiously . Thank you
This is my go to recipe now, I have made it at least 6 times, so quick and never soggy. I’m thankful every time for your family recipe Dimitra 😋
My YiaYia always had this made already so I have been trying to figure out her recipe for months. THIS is the closest I found, and WONDERFUL!!! My YiaYia passed away years ago (I am 53), but I just smile thinking about her while I am making and eating spanikopita. :):):) Thank you for your hints, like cutting it ahead of time! Now I know why mine was always making such a big mess. I am now teaching my own children how to make it like this; it is a clessic in our family.
I have never made spanakopita before. This recipe was easy to follow, and oh so good. Thanks for sharing. Will definitely make again, and again.
honey you make it look so easy! i make this once a year at Christmas time, my yiayia loves it.we love you !
I made this today for lunch in my restaurant, it was delicious and all who had it raved about the flavor I used fresh dill and added a few extra scallions the flavor was so fresh. The phyllo i used however did not have as many layers/sheets as yours did but i made it work I only had 2 sheets left to ruffle on the top, but it still came out beautiful
Excellent!
Absolutely delicious! I made it for a dinner party of eight this week, served it with fresh heirloom tomatoes and stuffed grape leaves. It was so good, I am making it for a smaller dinner get together tonight. Oh, and I tweaked it using a recipe from a Greek friend of mine by adding 8 oz of parmesan and using only 8 oz of feta. Superb!
I LIKE STUFFED GRAPE LEAVE AND GREEN PEPERS ALSO YUMMY
This is the best spinach pie I have ever had. Thank you for sharing the recipe, it will be handed down to my daughters.
I made this for my Grandson’s Greek girlfriend she loved it, it looked beautiful and tasted as good as it looked! Thank you
That is awesome!
my 3rd year making this for Christmas! Its the biggest hit with the family! can never thank you enough! Bill
I've made this recipe 5 or 6 times now comes out perfect every time ty for the recipe =)
Wow! I can’t wait to try it! So many good tips! I tried one recipe of this and it failed now I know why! I’m so glad it freezes well!
Dimitra. You are the best. I use your recipes and they come out AMAZING!!! Thank you for your guidance in delicious Greek cooking. Oh. You are Beautiful!!!!
Glad you like them!
I love Mousakka! I have looked and can't find it if you do.. My daughters worked at a greek restaurant throughout high school and he turned us on to it..he has since moved away and I've tried to make it the way he did but can't seen to find the right recipe..He had a sauce on top and layers I have used zuchinni instead of eggplant in season and my layers were more a mushroom cherry tomatoes sauce was so good....thank you
I can NOT wait to make this and I love the way you use your hands, it's so natural just the way my mom did it! Thank you!
That's the way my mom does it too! Hope you enjoy it :)

Made this with your Saganaki recipe. Wow this is so easy and not pre-cooking the spinach makes a big difference. Do not skip the instructions to add phyllo on top. It really does make it fluffy. We reheated the next day and it was just as crunchy. My mom did not want to share the leftover for other family members because she loved it so much. Thanks for sharing the recipe. My dad is diabetic and he ate this dinner and his sugar count the next morning was right on.
I'm so glad your family enjoyed this recipe as much as I do! keeping the spinach uncooked gives it such a wonderful fresh flavor. Not to mention it's less work :) Thanks for watching!
Excellent recipe! I’ve made this a few times and a Greek friend ask me for the recipe after she tasted it❤️ thank you.
this spana is so good. Usually get some at a greek restaurant nearby but it's always over cooked...this is perfection! Thanks for the recipe
Τέλεια σπανακόπιτα. Congratulation Δήμητρα!!!
When you cut into it on the plate my mouth is watering 😋 🤤❤
Oh wow! I tried this recipe tonight and it was delicious! I had another recipe which cooked the spinach until I found yours! I did use a small amount of leek, red onion and scallions in the mixture. Absolutely LOVED this recipe! No more having to buy from Sam's ! Thank you
well done. I love your technique of not cooking the spinach ahead of time and it still came out perfect
this is the BEST SPANAKOPITA EVER !!! THE ONLY THING I DID DIFFERENT WAS USE MELTED BUTTER IN WITH THE OIL ... YUM!!
Hi from Australia. I have never made spanakopita in my life (I'm 72), though I have eaten it !! I found this video, followed it exactly, and WOWSER....it was SO GOOD. The only difference in mine was, I had only bought 1 bunch of fresh dill, and as it was quite a strong flavour it didn't matter. Otherwise, thank you so much for the clarity of your instructions. My husband loved it, and as it's just the two of us, there was plenty to store in the freezer for later (and it freezes well).
Always make a 2nd tray for your self. This will disappear faster than your paycheck.
You gave me a chuckle.
Me too, I'm definately borrowing that expression 🤗
Wow
😆😆😆
Came here to see if it had the DILL. It does! Dill is essential. [One national brand of packaged spanakopita doesn't include dill. (If you buy it, sprinkle the dill on the top as you bake it. Thank me later.)]
I thought I invented using olive oil for the fat - instead of butter. (Use butter for the baklava.) Of course I was delusional as olive oil would be common in Greece, and butter less so. The first few times I made this, I used butter. Then I decided I wanted a quick method to do this and used olive oil. Turned out great and it is the standard way for me now.
Finally, reading the comments, in my experience garlic is NOT traditional, nor is lemon juice nor lemon zest (peel). I wouldn't use garlic - ever, makes it a different dish - nor use lemon juice - too runny. The lemon zest would not be a sin, but isn't needed. I saw that some said they added pine nuts. That is fine, but again, it isn't traditional.
This is the REAL DEAL. Bravo, Dimitra!
You have made this recipe a joy to make. The taste is perfection. Thank you..Nancy!
Made this the over the weekend, Made it exactly like you did. Was gone in 10 minutes.
Sounds about right. haha! happy New year!!
Thank you very much, it is seriously the best spanakopita in the world! I have made it now several times and it was amaaazing every time!!! God bless you Dimitra! ❤
The best spanakopita I ever made! My husband and son could not stop eating it. Love how easy it was to make.
I made this and it was yummy thank you , just gone vegetarian and was looking for something different x
