My dad was an extremely good looking manly man that loved to cook and he made a Portuguese version of this: empadão de carne. You remind me of him. Nothing more soothing than a man who can cook and bonus points for all the handsomeness!!!
I sometimes have to watch Akis videos, twice. Because even though he is instructing us on how to cook delicious recipes,...I nearly swoon just watching this man! His tone of voice, his accent, it's as delectable as his cooking! And his everything else,.... mmmmmm, decadence.
Honestly I’m so happy you’re making all these plant based vegan recipe videos. I’ve tried a few of them out so far and they taste just as good, or better as the original recipe with dairy/meat inside. I’m also glad you’re using real foods as a replacement for meat and dairy rather than artificial vegan foods like vegan cheeses and fake meats that aren’t so healthy. Pleaseee keep making these healthy plant based recipes, we are all loving them so much!
I normally cannot stand cooking videos but there's something so hypnotic and uplifting about your voice! And you seem so calm and happy and everything looks delicious. I'm in love with you
First off, my husband and I love your accent. Were from California 🇺🇸I actually made your meat/eggplant moussaka. I made two. One for my family and the other for my husband's work place. His work place absolutely is obsessed with your recipe. They've never had anything like it before. They love it so much . Im now required to make one every month for them😝 thanks Akis 👍
So I cooked this along watching the video. I was worried about the minimum use of seasoning but I needed not have worried. My whole family is still talking about it 24 hours later. My husband said thank you, this is the best thing you have ever made (he is vegan, mainly whole foods) we have 2 omnivore children, one vegetarian and one pesce vegetarian. They all raved about it. Thank you for sharing.
I was first introduced to your channel from the Jamie Oliver episode where you made Moussaka. I have made that dish several times and it's absolutely delicious. So I am absolutely going to give this one a shot!
I will try this today for dinner! I started to follow you when the quarentine happened. I considered myself a good cook. Now I'm amazing because I have been cooking so many of your recipes. Thank you!
Your work is so neat, tidy , beautiful equipment and unusual kitchenware. Explanation is simple and clear Thank you Akis Love everything that's Greek and about Greece
I am waiting to see Akis’s extra virgin Greek olive oil as an your own brand in the shops, then I’ll use only it on my cooking... :) I’ve tried so many of your recipes and all of them so delicious... spot on... the Mediterranean cuisine is the best... Thank you for sharing your experience with us... j
Wow! As a Black, Cypriot & Cherokee Indian woman who's a vegan...I've been looking for a vegan moussaka recipe for awhile! 😯 I was just talking to my Thia about how I could veganize moussaka! What a small world! 🙂 Ευχαριστώ for this recipe!🤗💜💙
I have veen using green lentils with mushrooms for a meaty like substitite. Adds nutrients also. Mushrooms expensive in my country. This is a mix between vegan shepards pie and ... looks yummy! Thanks.
Your knife skills are impressive! I was JUST telling my son I am making vegetarian moussaka for his sister and he is vegan. Now I can make it for him next time he visits. 😋
Must try this version. Love the sliced grilled eggplants top. Very attractive presentation. I like to smoke my eggplants from my garden (ones my goats 🐐 did not eat) cut into slices in tin foil packet in my tandoor oven plus I add zucchini.
In Romania we make a dip called zacusca with eggplant + peppers roasted over fire and it s a staple, and delicious. Indeed you can make a thousand things with eggplants - more Greek vgn recipes Chef pls!
I love this I mean I'll omit the almond milk because I'm allergic to nuts but I'll definitely make this for "No Meat Mondays"... thank you for this deliciousness!!!!
Made this and my husband thought it was a meat filling! We are not vegans but wanted to try it since my son is vegan. It is so yummy! Thank you Akis!!! 💕 We love it!
Thank you so very much for sharing your Moussaka recipe I plan to cook it tomorrow Tuesday 29th June 2021 I do hope you are safe after the covid I love Greece sadly I have not visited for years . You have a Beautiful country . Yvonne mullion Cornwall England
Feel like a vegetarian version of this would be amazing. Use the mushroom substitution for beef but still use all the dairy to make a real mornay sauce.
I was thinking about the same thing. I would also avoid all the frying and bake the eggplants and potatoes in the oven first or put them on a griddler. I've seen Chef Jana using tvp or lentils+walnuts could be a good meat substitute. th-cam.com/video/Kgs5XmAtsXs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/tjK9aamx2TI/w-d-xo.html (2:04 with less tomato sauce, maybe)
Looks so great - I love that you are making vegan recipes as well, please continue to do that! How do you think green lentils will go along with everything else in the bolognese? Might need a bit more liquid though.
Thanks for doing vegan recipes, can't wait to try it!
One of your favorite recipes!
💖💖💖💖
Love it, thanks Akis.. 🥰👍
I cooked it today. Very very delicious, thank you for the recipe!!!! 😍

If Akis isn't the ambassador for Greek olive oil then I don't know who is lol
Lets be honest, is is the best olive oil in the world.
Best Vegan Mousaka! Thank you for the recipe 😊🇬🇷🇳🇿
@Dean then what do you claim to be the best? Because if it's italian you're in fact incorrect
@Dean you'll have to recommend the specifics. But each area has their top shelf olive oil. I must search for the best of anywhere
@Dean thank you for the knpwledge. Much appreciated. I woll have to check them out

I have veen using green lentils with mushrooms for a meaty like substitite. Adds nutrients also. Mushrooms expensive in my country. This is a mix between vegan shepards pie and ... looks yummy! Thanks.
I love the way your mushroom turned out! so similar to ground beef!
Love the idea of a mushroom filling. I’ve been looking for a replacement for soy!
Watching this and eating some hot off the griddle pita bread using your recipe. I've made it three times so far, and it is the only one I'll ever use!
you are absolutely killing it! best cooking video ever !
YESSSSS μπράβο ρε συ Άκη!!! Compassion over cruelty!
Great to watch, to listen to and I am sure the food is delightful to eat. One clever chef.
Your knife skills are impressive! I was JUST telling my son I am making vegetarian moussaka for his sister and he is vegan. Now I can make it for him next time he visits. 😋
Must try this version. Love the sliced grilled eggplants top. Very attractive presentation. I like to smoke my eggplants from my garden (ones my goats 🐐 did not eat) cut into slices in tin foil packet in my tandoor oven plus I add zucchini.

Akis this is the best vegan moussaka ever. First time I made it it was awesome
Today I made it again but added a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg OMG!!
Yummy! The potato layer looks delicious. I dunno why but I think some tahini in it would taste really good.
if you add it on the eggplants you have a baba ganoush.
I Like it and so easy to make. It is true you are the best moussaka maker. I share your recipes with my friends and now they love you and the recipes.
Amazing! I would switch my olive oil from Spanish into Greek for you, Akis!
Thank you for the vegan recipes!
Love your energy love your recipes 👍
😁
Love this thank you for making a vegan version can’t wait to try this Efharistó
I’m gonna cook it soon! And use the vegan bolonese for my pasta and lasagne ❤️
In Romania we make a dip called zacusca with eggplant + peppers roasted over fire and it s a staple, and delicious. Indeed you can make a thousand things with eggplants - more Greek vgn recipes Chef pls!
Looks great! Planning to try and prepare it.
I love Poochie’s cooking show!
This looks delicious!! I can't wait to try it! Thanks for making it vegan :-)
I made it and it's perfect! Now I'm going to make it again for my vegan friend in Bulgaria. Thank you, Akis.
😊
Thank u! ❤️
I love this I mean I'll omit the almond milk because I'm allergic to nuts but I'll definitely make this for "No Meat Mondays"... thank you for this deliciousness!!!!
try soy or oat milk instead
@@ewq123ify thanks that's actually super helpful🖒
You can use soy milk!
@@akispetretzikisen thanks Akis I will give it a try I've never had soy milk before, shouldn't be to hard to find in my country.
Extra virgin greek olive oil is good, but extra greek olive oil is the best!
Thank u so much for this Version of moussaka!
Would u say it Would be to much to take Zucchini with in the recipe
Made this and my husband thought it was a meat filling! We are not vegans but wanted to try it since my son is vegan. It is so yummy! Thank you Akis!!! 💕 We love it!
magnifique 👍👍👍❤
It looks delicious. I will make that recipe soon😊
I love the recepie
To any vegans watching please make sure the wine is vegan because most wines are not
Everything you make looks tasty, I have things to do but can't stop watching, haha...
Thank you for the vegan recipes Aki!!!! You are awesome
Question: When you said add the tomatoes: are you adding tomato sauce or fresh tomatoes / thanks/ great recipe!
Thank you so very much for sharing your Moussaka recipe I plan to cook it tomorrow Tuesday 29th June 2021 I do hope you are safe after the covid I love Greece sadly I have not visited for years . You have a Beautiful country .

I was thinking about the same thing. I would also avoid all the frying and bake the eggplants and potatoes in the oven first or put them on a griddler. I've seen Chef Jana using tvp or lentils+walnuts could be a good meat substitute.

th-cam.com/video/tjK9aamx2TI/w-d-xo.html (2:04 with less tomato sauce, maybe)
good one. thank you! many people with ocd triggered with that middle piece :))
I want to make this, but non vegan. I want to to incorporate the mash potatoes with Béchamel sauce. Do you think that might be a good idea?
You can find a non vegan version here th-cam.com/video/mCnYfVQvHhA/w-d-xo.html
Delectable!
i will have to make this thanks for posting
thank you. will make it for dinner tonight
This looks delicious, I will certainly be making on my next meat-free day Thank you, for sharing Akis, :-)
Hmmm this looks good too. I always make moussaka using faux meat and cheese, but I'll try this tomorrow. Yummy
Looks so great - I love that you are making vegan recipes as well, please continue to do that! How do you think green lentils will go along with everything else in the bolognese? Might need a bit more liquid though.
