Greece, a culinary paradise

The much-renowned loukoumades, ladies and gentlemen!!!!!! I got puzzled by the dumplings on the title!

You have a very handy and beautiful helper

Finally we got to see Katerina too. Very cool!

The Italian version is called strufoli or pignolata and is traditionally served during the xmas holidays. Orange and lemon zest is added to the honey syrup at the end of boiling and then tossed with the fried dough balls. They usually are tossed with candied fruit and colored sprinkles. When I make them I try to give a lot away because I can eat the whole tray.

I might have to add this to my menu next week. My husband and I honeymooned in Greece 20 years ago and because of covid we can not celebrate at a restaurant. Instead I am going to make a Greek feast based on Akis recipes I have seen on this channel. Efcharistó

One of the best greek deserts ever! Thank you so much for this recipe 🥰

yum - yum Akis!

Absolutely the best Greek cooking channel! Yiasou Arki!

Akis, I have to say I like them made both ways with the honey and with the way you're making it in this video. Thank you again for sharing your lovely videos. By the way I have always loved the Greek accent speaking English.

It is always a pleasure to see our common cultures, how it is influenced so long. I love your channel. Lovely greetings from a turkish girl from Germany 😊

My all time favorite

So you can make dumplings like this! Amazing! I would definitely want to try some if I could visit Hellas some day.

Eating them without counting 👍👍👍😋😋😋😋

Loukoumades 4 Life

reminds me of funnel cakes, or even a recipe for "sweet & sour chicken" definitely I will try with a cookie press or a piping bag 😋 Thank you!

I like baklava. I usually make my own, with honey, no sugar. I haven't tried this on every trip to Greece. I've been to some of the islands, a little bit.😋

This is indeed THE BEST Greek cooking channel ! These honey dumplings looks sexy and super delicious😋 ! Definitely gonna try to make those but I have to be careful, because if I get the stove dirty like that my wife will kill me 🤭🤭

Akis, I love those, absolutely yummy. Cat eat too many of those otherwise my belly would get big, LOL

BRAVO AKIS , DELICIOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I like that you chose honey instead of sugar as in other cultures! You can enjoy them guilt free!

My next goal is to make this. Everyone I know loves these. I will become very popular if I learn how to make this. Efaristo para poli!

We have the same in Egypt

Yum😁😊

I love,love,love your accent! I'm Serbian Russian, and listening to you reminds me of my family ,just love you! BTW, do you have a recipe for Greek cookies? My Mother would make them every Christmas! Thx! ❤

The cookies you're referring to are probably kourabiedes. Akis does have a recipe on KZread.

The Greek Loukoumades are very similar to the Siculo-Neapolitan struffolli. I'd like to eat both 🇬🇷😋🇮🇹

Love the idea to double fry! Have you ever frozen or stored dough? Like if you needed to make it ahead and fry later so they're fresh for parties?

In arabain gulf we call it "luqymat" we dip them in cool syrup,,then it become crunchy,,we serve it in ramadan🥰😍

Αυτά τα λουκουμαδακια είναι πάντως καιρού.... Με κρύο με ζεστη, μετα από πίκρα, με τον καφέ, μετά από φαγητό.... Είναι είναι ΕΊΝΑΙ ΜΟΝΑΔΙΚΑ στο είδος τους!!!!! 😘....

Μπράβο ρε μάγκα

Than you so much Aki you’ve done it again 👏👏👏. I have a very important question for me though, we often have gatherings with large groups and I will have to make Loukoumades the day before as I won’t have time on the day (other things to do and cook) my worry is though that I want them to stay crispy when I serve them… please help

I need to show my Yiayia this video of the metal fork in the honey, she’s convinced to only use wood or plastic in the honey jar not to ruin the honey 😂

It is true. ONLY use wood or plastic spoon. Akis is addicted to sweet food and had NO time or patience to look for wooden spoon. He must be using the GREEK honey, no matter what you use GREEK honey is always best. 🍯🍯🥄🍴🍯🍯

I m living in UAE and they have similar popular luqaimat.

Fantastic and I love when you saying Sexy word when you are preparing and cooking😘❤

OH MY GOD 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

We have a counterpart of that here in the Philippines. It's called buchi but we use glutinous rice flour. Your way though is worth trying out😁 much love, stay safe always ❤️❤️❤️

With the frying, what you are doing is called blanching.

Hi akis can you please share a recipe of trahanas

Porfabor poner la recetas en español estoy suscrita pero no entiendo nada gracias

Thank you for this delicious recipe, God bless your hands, you did it so good once again🙏😊 But this should be counted as a sin what you've done (in the late of night making everyone hungry )😄😋😭🙏 By the way, at least for me politiko is ok...a baklava with lots of pistachio.....is also ok..i apologize from the fans of these two for saying this, but loukoumades may be a very orgasmic dessert if it's done properly; it should not absorb oil, long lasting crunchy outside, then when you bite it, blast of syrup in your mouth follows😭😭 For this reason, as for loukoumades i'm very picky in Turkey, most of them ruin the recipe totally.

Say goodbye to Krispy Kreme.

اللقيمات او العوامة موجودة في ثقافات شعوب المتوسط و خصوصا لبنان و سورية و تركيا و فلسطين و طبعا اليونان .. انتقلت حديثا مع دخول العرب الى سوق النفط الخليجي فاصبحت ضمن الحلويات الخليجية .. تختلف اللقم او العوامة اننا نغرقها بالقطر ( الشيرة ) يبدو انك تصنعها بطريقة صحية اكثر عندما اقتصرت التحلية على العسل

اتمنى لو تكتب المقادير في صندوق الوصف

It's such an old recipe. I hear it's actually ancient greek!

These are a favorite right here yummy 😋😍4 my pansa (tummy).*******🍾💛🤎🥂⚘⚘⚘🥂 ***

Hey sexy!! Your recipes are amazing as are you. I saw a lot a desserts and ice-creams but when I was in Greece on summer vacation in Paralia, I ate amazing Greek ice-cream, can you make Greek ice-cream for me please 😍❤️❤️❤️

@1:21 - that jar with a big glob of honey dripping down the side is stressing me out, Akis...

My weight just jumped up 3 kilos, just by watching. 😆☀️🌻🐝

it looks like "lokma" in turkey. And it's already too sweet. Did you spill honey? I will be diabetic.

I tried them today but something is wrong with my recipe i guess, they are full of bubbles and a wierd taste like its uncooked, what i did wrong? I did every single step with right amount of ingredients 😑

Maybe you should fry them more time. Be careful with the temperature of the oil.

Where are the ingredients?

Hello Abla El-Farouki, regarding your question. Kindly note that Akis includes all his recipes in his description (under each video) . If you click on the little arrow under his video you will see that Akis has added a link with the recipe. I wanted to copy/paste it here for you but wasn't able to. Hope my instructions are clear and will help you to find the recipe. If you need any further help just let me know.

Batter is too runny!

Akis'in yakışıklılığını izlemekten yemek yapamıyorum. Because i am watching his handsomeness, i cant cook. Even if i had, i would burn all the house. Love

That wasn't a pinch of salt lol.

Hello Akis. - First, why not use a piping bag instead of the messy way you are showing us? - You look so stressed out & you make me out of breath after watching this. Like you need to make this very quickly or something. Relax! Cooking should be relaxing & fun. thank you.

You cook to shabby man. At least close the honey lid cleanly and drain the oil properly before putting them on the platter or tissue. You need to learn to be not to shabby.

Akis, what happened? They are the worst loukoumathes I have ever seen.

Can we stop calling loukoumades sexy? Seriously ...
