Alexander T. Thanks so much! Last question, I promise - if you’re Greek, can you tell me if his recipes are actually what you’d see and make in the average Greek household, especially in the context of the oil and the ingredients used. I’m asking because in my country, most of the celebrity chefs you see use a lot of oil and a ton of ingredients and prepare their dishes, although delicious, in fancy ways you usually wouldn’t see in the average household.

Pallavi Rawat he basically has adjusted his recipes so that they can be easy to follow from an average Greek person. Actually most people do his recipes because they are so well explained , with not that many ingredients and always tasteful!

Amazing recipe! I'm Italian but I am here because I love Greek food.

Akis, I agree with those commenting about the ladies voice for this recipe. It is not a pleasant addition to your presentation. My husband agreed. We love your vitality, your accent, your love of food. It’s not important whether or not some think you should pronounce words to their liking, it’s not about putting you in a box. You are doing what you are called of God to do.❤️❤️❤️❤️ Stay who you are and keep the cooking and presentation YOURS alone.😘 No music needed either. It’s distractions from what you are cooking and saying. God Bless and long yrs of health. I cannot eat much of what you cook, because I have cancer, but I am copying recipes and will make them for pleasure later👏💃🏻 We love your attitude and the love you share with us for so much healthier food than shown elsewhere😍😍😍😍

Finally, someone shows what a true Greek salad is. I have tried to convince family members that there is NO lettuce in a Greek salad. They didn't belive me. Eff kareesto paropalee!!

The authentic Greek moussaka has no zucchini and some claim not even potatoes. The potatoes according to many, were added in restaurants because they were cheaper than eggplants. The zucchini were added in the 1990s by people who felt Moussaka had become boring, (crazy people, how can moussaka be boring) and wanted to innovate. If you do not put potatoes and/or zucchini add more eggplants. It tastes AMAZING no matter how you make it as long as you keep the same Mornay/Bechamel sauce and the classic minced beef recipe.

@tyxeri48

For me, as a moussaka purist, zucchinis in the moussaka is a sacrilege, while potatoes damage the texture of the eggplants. Period.

Aki son, you are the High Priest of cooking. 👍👍👍.

I want this guy in my kitchen

"And ladies and gentlemen, once again; I resent you Mr Greek Salad!" 😂😂😂 I'm not mocking; this man taught me how to make an authentic Moussaka... Thank you!

I must admit, this is the best mousakka I have ever made! Delicious! It is the second best I have ever eaten, the best one was in Greece! I have been eating and cooking Mousakka my whole life, Romanians have importend this dish from Greece a few centuries ago, but it changed somehow in our country. I have always liked it, but since I have tasted it in Greece it became a favourite dish of mine. I have searched and searched for a recipe, but this is the one!!! I have always thought it was the meat, it was lamb in Greece when I ate it in a restaurant. But it is the recipe. Thank you! Such a perfect and sexy dish! :))

This guy cooks in style. Loving him.

Akis, you are the hero of Moussaka and Greek Salad! All the BEST!!!

I have tried greek moussaka once... then i sent the link to my mom... my mom sent it to my sisters... and now its a family dish or tradition that we all love and enjoy very mush.... thank you.

Just made this and it was absolutely STUNNING

Akis...Thanks for the list of ingredients in the beginning of the video. Easy to pause & follow. Great idea to blend Bechamel Sauce into the chopped meat mixture before adding the Bechamel topping. Did it and it added another depth of flavor to the dish. Also I always added a pinch of sugar for acidity (even in my tomato sauce)...and some friends reacted in horror. Go figure. Thumbs Up.... Ephateestoh Parapolee!

I made a few Moussaka's in my life. But this one, oh my goodness. It's absolutely amazing ❤️

I’m in love with this channel…I fell in love with Greek food while living in NYC, and I want to master some of these recipes so I can enjoy them as often as possible! Thank you Akis, you’re so lovely and cute 😍😍😍😍

Very explicit, as usual. I've never made something following his recipe that didn't come out as good as shown. Thank you!!!! You're the best.

Yes, two wonderful delicious recipes. Thank you, Akis

I tried your recipe and it was great. Allthough i didn’t use capris and the bread. I also used Halkidiki olives instead of Kalamata. Great channel. Cheers from 🇸🇪

One of the best moussaka's i've ever had. This recipe compares to one of the best moussakas i have ate in Crete. I substituted ground lamb for the ground beef and it was gobbled up by my entire family. Excellent Excellent recipe!!

I,ve lived in Kifisia Athen 14 yrs ago..! I love their Lyki ..! Every things are fresh and good..! ❤️🇬🇷

I love that he uses Greek basil- you can tell from the smaller pointier leaves. Basil is actually a Greek word stemming from the Ancient Greek Basilisk- a dragon of mythology with a forked tongue. That’s a very simplified version of the story- but you get the picture!;) in Ancient Greek mythology it grows the best if you plant it while ranting and raving!

Oh, is so charming how he is presenting it 🎉 , very nice .. and his Greek accent is adding more charm.. and recepie is fantastic, eating Greek salat all my life 👍👌

you foreigners can't cook moussaka by yourself. you don't know how to cook it and someone Greek has to show you otherwise you're making a mess especially in England and America where your food is boiled in water without taste.

Sometimes I think how our life would be if we were to end up together (akis and I), we would live somewhere in Greece and have 3 to 4 mini akis running around the house... But then I remember that it can never work out between us because I only use Extra Virgin PORTUGUESE Olive Oil
