In 1980 my friends and I had finished our nurse training, we worked for 6 months and then we went to the Greek islands for 3 months, we slept on the beach or rented rooms, we ate in small tavernas got bread from the village bakeries every morning it was the best time of my life
Went for only 3 weeks at a time every year in the 1970’s and 1980’s, plus several times in the 90’s and did the same as you did. It was bliss. I’ve never been happier anywhere. We paid our way, left no litter, were respectful…and the people were wonderful. The food, was superb. Then many tourists came, wanting burgers, chips, nightclubs, sunshine, lots of alcohol, as if they were at home ! I visited Corfu often, Paxos, Crete several times, Rhodes, Samos, Skiathos, Meteora, Athens, Kos, Santorini, Ios and so on.
It is NOT "TINY". The definition of a PARING KNIFE is a KNIFE 3-4 INCHES.For slicing, skinning, chopping, peeling fruit and vegetables and cutting up meat God you people are morons.
The Greek diet is mainly vegetarian.Meat dishes used to be once a week and fish too. Traditionally we don't consume anything coming from meat every Wednesday and Friday during the whole year. Also we fast about 40 days in Easter and the most hardcore people fast at Christmas too.
Same in my culture. Leftovers are wonderful. All the meals - simple or otherwise - look absolutely delicious. What could be better than an omelette with feta and side salad of seasonal tomatoes and cucumber?
Hi my friend, i do not know who you are but i want to say these words. I'm Turkish and i've felt like my home while watching this video. Everything clearly same as ours including plates, bazaars, and foods obviously.We have same pink bowl what yiayas mixing ingredients on it. One more time i've realized as we two countries are closer than i think. Wishing healty days and take care yourself. Keep going like that.
I'm Italian and I have to say the food here is phenomenal. I love that vegetables are front and center in meals, and that food is eaten seasonally as well. Wonderful.
My husband is greek and he always say , when you visit Greece, go outside Athens, Athens is smelly and sux lol. You can find treasure in small villages ans cities
If I haven’t read the title I would say that this is my hometown Çanakkale (turkey) which has Greek roots of course. We have literally had the same menu last week. This should be the life we all aim for you guys, good food organic life and healthy minds ❤
I was privileged to live in north west Greece, Arta, near the most beautiful, mystical mountains and valleys, with my then Greek partner, I'm English. I was accepted into the villages and beyond, taught traditional cooking, fishing in rivers, growing fruit, vegetables, salads, nuts, herbs, olives, gods foods and chemical free home made wine, and very strong alcohols. I loved the warmth of the Greek people and my life there, just beautiful.
Greetings from Arta!!! I hope you will visit again and enjoy my homeland 😊🇬🇷☺️. Some lamb meat in the mountain villages, mezedes and ouzo in the town's taverns and prawns and fish in Koronissia (Ambracian gulf) . I think I tempted you enough..😊😊
@@odysseasntalias5950 I tried to hitch hike or get a bus from Igoumenitsa inland and north years ago but that was a big failure and it was raining. But I did once take a bus to Lefkada to meet friends on a yacht there.
We have very near eating habits in Alexandria, Egypt. . Some are exactly the same & in our family feta cheese is always beside our meals. . Thank you so much grandma for this loving video. . God bless you .. & surrounds you with His special endless love to you. .❤
The best cuisine in the world. I miss it so much. Spend my childhood summers with my Greek family in Greece. It's been more than 10 years since I've been there and had contact with them. I'll never forget the delicious food.
Oh my God. My first boyfriend was Greek and we were together for 10 years and we used to go back to Komotini for many holidays from University and his mother taught me the basis of my cooking today. I miss them so much especially his Mum who adored me and wanted me to marry her son. Her spinach and meat and cheese pies were more than amazing. I cringe at frozen filo and don’t attempt to cook with it but one thing Incant do is the pastry 😢 Happy days ❤
@@thamieklybodonmi He went into the army and then cheated after that once. Yep charming. I used to go and visit him in the mountains in deep snow with his mother to see him for even half an hour in the army. I waited for him for 3 years. Anyway I’ll never forget those years anyway and his Mum we were great friends too. Such as life!!
Many American-Greeks opt out of using filo by substituting flour tortillas for individual feta-spinach pies. The tortillas are not labor intensive and taste similar to filo. Of course, filling technique is different but all ingredients are identical.
Frozen filo for us, the younger generation, is inevitable. There are many brands and I believe one will satisfy you enough. Just make sure everything else to be of good quality and fresh. And if you still looking to come back to Greece, I'm single, loyal and my mom makes great pies. 🤣
this is the most nutricious and delicious locking food I have ever seen. I did pray to God to learn how to koock so healthy and different. Greeting from a poor nutricious Norway
As a Greek I always admired the discipline of the northern Europeans. Some of your foods are also amazing. Just more focused on meat. I know it's difficult to grow many vegetables up there, but nowadays you can find everything in grocery stores and you are also helping us on our agricultural sector. 🙂
As a Bulgarian this is what we eat in the summer simple everyday homemade food . lots of love to u all from Romania Turkey Grease Masedonia we are all the same
Many people left Greece to go to Israel in the past and they brought the culture and foods with them. I was surprised by the fact how much Israelis are listening to Greek music. A friend went to vacation in the Greek islands and told me there were so many Israelis and only by the language he knew they weren't Greeks and they also thought he was an Israeli too. 😆
@perseusarkouda I love Greece - my grandfather family was from Rhodes. My dream is to buy a little house near by the sea in Greece or in the islands of Greece.
I've been to Rhodes and it's amazing. Although I loved Cyprus more and I was thinking that's probably how Israel must look like. Hopefully one day I'll visit Israel too. Wish you peace and prosperity!
Прекрасна проста домашна храна. Бях на остров Самотраки и цяла седмица я ядохме в ресторантче, където се хранят местните. Нищо общо с пренаселените туристически места, където храната е унифицирана и не така разнообразна. Целувам златните ръце на баба ви! И моята беше голям майстор. Сърдечно от България.
Greeks don' t eat meat in EVERYDAY' s meals. For example, there is no way to have a beef steak with fasolada in the same table. Or to have the first day chichen, the second steak, the third lamb, the forth ground beef etc.
I thank the algorithm that sent me to your channel. I’ve been fascinated by Greek food for a long time. Never visited a channel, by the comments from people saying this is real Greek food! I’m happy I’m here. Subscribed 👍🏼 give your grandma big hug 🌸 on my behalf❤
Greek _"briam"_ reminds me of French _"tian"_ from Provence -- both contain slices of potatoes and zucchini/courgette, which are dressed with olive oil and herbs.
Sending a big hug and kisses to your grandma for making all those dishes from her garden that she tends to!! Nothing beats grandma's homemade cooking!!
I wish I could just jump into this video and come back out when I had tasted everything in it. A lot of similarities with southern Italian cooking, especially the region of Puglia. Of course, we are cousins , as my Greek friends say.
@@JanetBrown-px2jn oh wow! For me the worst worst worst experience was in Chicago Greek town, very popular Gyros place was selling minced meat as gyros! I was soooo sad, in that moment I just moved to US from Europe and I was happy to try my food.. sad, very sad... Middle East cuisine is so rich, African delicious.. Mexican, you name it.. but representation is very bad.
@@K1k1Ktina I think maybe NYC probably has a lot more authentic foreign foods than other cities do,depending on the food,I know that CA has the biggest population of Vietnamese,so I would expect the Vietnamese food to be more authentic there than in NY.i live in the most ethnically diverse place in the US,and I believe you can get authentic foods here,not in the big name restaurants,but the little hole in the wall spots the locals eat at.Being in the restaurant business I have worked with lots of Mexicans,mainly from Puebla,and I know they had plenty of authentic Mexican street carts,and restaurants,same goes for Chinese in our 2 Chinatowns,most Americans wouldn’t eat about 85% of the food sold there as it authentically Chinese.
@@JanetBrown-px2jnHi! Everyday food depends from the region you live .In my hometown -Kavala- we eat a lot of fish during the week and only couple of times in the Year Lamb! Fresh fruit and vegetables every day! We are lucky Mediterranean People!
I would love to go to Greece!! Its on my bucket list!! When I was young my best friends mother was Greek and I had the privilege to have dinner there many times!! So I love the food!! ❤
Omg this looks really good and quite healthy too. A lot of fruits and vegetables and mostly boiled or oven baked it seems. Rarely fried. Give my regards from Sweden to your amazing grandmother!
I love how grandma’s cook up a feast with one simple pairing knife and a spoon, no fancy utensils or pots or knives but will still be the most satisfying soul food of your life…. 😊❤ grandma went all out for her kids
Ih biy oh boy oh boy! 😂❤🙋🏻♀️🥰🇨🇦💋Nommy time! I cannot afford this food even a days worth. You are really blessed.😢 Would be nice even one day to eat so well.😮
This is simply beautiful. I really like Greece the simplicity of the food that's so delicious and wholesome. Your grandma lives in a wonderful place, and I'd love to taste her food.
I admire Greek food.. I am half Greek and Romanian , but growing up my father never knew he was Greek we did an ansetor dna stuff and came back mostly Greek , Romanian and other stuff. It sucks because we only mainly make Romanian food but we never make Greek food but I wanna try so bad everything looks so delicious God bless ❤
Thanks for the beautiful video! Many of these dishes are nearly identical to many we make as a second course in southern Italy! So interesting to see these similarities,
That's so great! We made a video of her preparing that dish in 2022, with more details regarding ingredients etc. th-cam.com/video/KD9efo5VUbg/w-d-xo.html

Thank you so much for sharing! These videos are so relaxing and comforting to watch, also therapeutic and quite healing TBH. Looking forward for more (if possible:)
I know that market smells amazing!! When I went to Algeria I was overwhelmed by all the smells and the brightness of the sun. The food is also very similar. Fresh vegetables, a little meat, something sweet and coffee, all made by loving hands. Of course the fruits 😍
this video reminds me of my childhood and my grandma`s cooking .I can recognize every dish .Nice cooking and fresh ingredients . It can`t get better than that . Love from Turkey .💗💖
Everything looks so good and so fresh! Those fritters...😍 Also, that dark chocolate cake with the crushed biscuits didn't look too bad either! I think every Mediterranean country has a version of that. Living in a desert, I'm so envious of your grandma's garden. Ευχαριστώ πολύ!
I just realized that my TH-cam had a incredible algorithm. I was find content like this in Greek food for a long time because I’m so obsessed with Greek culture especially food and now I found it I’m so grateful 🥺thank you for your precious and gorgeous video keep it great work
Αγαπημένο σπιτικό "μαμαδίστικο" φαγητό! Πολύ όμορφο βίντεο με υπέροχη ελληνική κουζίνα & φύση! Πόσο θα ήθελα να μένω σε ένα τέτοιο μέρος αντί για την πόλη!
Greek cuisine is so close to Armenian cuisine as well as Turkish cuisine as they all lived together for centuries. I’m Armenian and I cook everything that she cooked with some minor differences in spices as I was born and raised in the Middle East. One day I want to try to make the tomato dolma stuffed with rice and pine nuts and parsley which is an authentic Greek dish. I had it back home in an Armenian family from Greece and I loved it. I went online and found the recipe but I don’t think it is the same dolma that I had back home. Nothing online is authentic, they make changes to it and it doesn’t taste the same. Have a good day everybody.

This reminds me of such good memories of my American Grandmother who grew up during the great depression. She made cucumbers and tomatoes in apple cider vinegar all Summer, bean soup with “tomato” sauce (she used a little ketchup), and scrambled eggs and potatoes for breakfast. Whiting was the only fresh fish we ate as well. I’m amazed! Thank you for sharing with us. ❤
Very inspiring! I’ve got leftover beef and shall make a big salad of romaine, red onions, feta, tomatoes and fresh clementine. The only dressing will be lemon juice and olive oil. Your nona is brilliant.
Much enjoyed the beautiful scenery and homemade old world greek food that was for a week's menu in Greece. Very appetizing and healthy. Anthony Joseph Lucchese
Your grandma's food looks so healthy, nourishing and tasty. Some of the dishes are quite typical in my family in Georgia too, like stuffed veggies, stuffed cabages, salads. The video was very pleasant to watch too.
Enjoyed so much..such a wholesome vlog it is...Just a request..if u can please put up all the ingrediants name along..when your grandmas cooking.. i so want to make these delicious cabbage rolls but i dont know the meatballs and lemon sauce recipe...

@AprilR7100 It’s probably why a glass of water is served alongside it. ( or it used to be ). 😁
I swear every nonna, Yia-Yia, and nanna has the same tiny vegetable paring knife 😂
They have dollar stores and hucksters that go to the villages with Made in China utensils; that's why they appear familiar.
Iam hoping i get one .... middle aged i need one
They don't need a lot of equipment and a knife block. Just one tiny little thing. 😍
😂😂😂😂
It is NOT "TINY". The definition of a PARING KNIFE is a KNIFE 3-4 INCHES.For slicing, skinning, chopping, peeling fruit and vegetables and cutting up meat God you people are morons.

this video reminds me of my childhood and my grandma`s cooking .I can recognize every dish .Nice cooking and fresh ingredients . It can`t get better than that . Love from Turkey .💗💖
Everything looks so good and so fresh! Those fritters...😍 Also, that dark chocolate cake with the crushed biscuits didn't look too bad either! I think every Mediterranean country has a version of that. Living in a desert, I'm so envious of your grandma's garden. Ευχαριστώ πολύ!
Очень вкусная домашняя еда. Мое восхищение хозяюшке! ❤
The bean soup with a fried egg in top and bread on side is EPIC
I just realized that my TH-cam had a incredible algorithm. I was find content like this in Greek food for a long time because I’m so obsessed with Greek culture especially food and now I found it I’m so grateful 🥺thank you for your precious and gorgeous video keep it great work
Αγαπημένο σπιτικό "μαμαδίστικο" φαγητό! Πολύ όμορφο βίντεο με υπέροχη ελληνική κουζίνα & φύση! Πόσο θα ήθελα να μένω σε ένα τέτοιο μέρος αντί για την πόλη!
Greek cuisine is so close to Armenian cuisine as well as Turkish cuisine as they all lived together for centuries. I’m Armenian and I cook everything that she cooked with some minor differences in spices as I was born and raised in the Middle East. One day I want to try to make the tomato dolma stuffed with rice and pine nuts and parsley which is an authentic Greek dish. I had it back home in an Armenian family from Greece and I loved it. I went online and found the recipe but I don’t think it is the same dolma that I had back home. Nothing online is authentic, they make changes to it and it doesn’t taste the same. Have a good day everybody.

This food all looks amazing, and I love how much fresh veg there is! I will definitely try making briam! Also, the scenery is gorgeous 😍
Greetings from the south west side of turkey. all of these look so delicious with simple ingiridients and also fulfilling!
This reminds me of such good memories of my American Grandmother who grew up during the great depression. She made cucumbers and tomatoes in apple cider vinegar all Summer, bean soup with “tomato” sauce (she used a little ketchup), and scrambled eggs and potatoes for breakfast. Whiting was the only fresh fish we ate as well. I’m amazed! Thank you for sharing with us. ❤
Very inspiring! I’ve got leftover beef and shall make a big salad of romaine, red onions, feta, tomatoes and fresh clementine. The only dressing will be lemon juice and olive oil. Your nona is brilliant.
I love my country,my village ,my grandmother and her beautiful house with her beautiful garden!!!The most delicious food was by my grandmother!!!!❤🇬🇷❤
Much enjoyed the beautiful scenery and homemade old world greek food that was for a week's menu in Greece. Very appetizing and healthy.

All those gorgeous fresh vegetables! Yummy!
I hope everyone helped her wash up afterwards. There must have been a mountain of dishes to wadh every day 🙂
Your grandma's food looks so healthy, nourishing and tasty. Some of the dishes are quite typical in my family in Georgia too, like stuffed veggies, stuffed cabages, salads. The video was very pleasant to watch too.
