Most home authentic greek recipes handed down is usually better than restaurants. I have never found a restaurant that had better Spanikopita than my family’s. Or Avgolemono soup. Never enough lemon at most places. And some make their sauce way too salty. Overwhelms the flavor. I find the best come from tiny little mom and pop places

Every time I watch one of your videos it messes with my vocabulary, I keep confusing 'trying to diet' with 'dying to try it' 😀

I cannot wait to try this. I’m Italian and a few years after my mom passed I was looking through her recipes and I found one for this! She had never made it as far as I remember but we lived in a section of Boston that had a lot of Greeks. I think one of her friends gave it to her. I made it one night and right after it was finished the power went out. We ate by candle light and my husband and 2 sons (at the time) loved it! I made it a few months later but the power was on and they took one look at it and said ewwww! So I turned off the lights and we ate by candlelight and once again they loved it. This was 20 years ago and I still make it 2-3 times a year and our tradition is to eat by candle light. I have tweeked it to be more authentic but I can’t wait to try this recipe!

As a Greek (from Greece lol) i have to say that this is indeed a legit pastitsio recipe. Exactly how my mom does it, with two small differences. She alternates two layers of pasta/meat sauce (kimas) and on top of the bechamel she sprinkles toast crumbs. The crumbs are the small detail that makes the difference because they a)prevent the bechamel from being overdone b) they give a nice crunchy feel.

MyFavouriteFoods ChristineCushing Hi Christina, thank you so much for acknowledging my comment. I’m back to let you know my husband and I made your/your father’s Pastitsio recipe last night, and oh my gosh is it amazing. Truly a labor of love, but worth every step and effort along the way. We used an equal mix of ground chuck and ground lamb because our palates crave that extra little boost of Greekiness. I posted photos of our finished product on Facebook and - W😮W - people came out of quarantine to comment. I think we did a pretty good job. Even my 93 year old mother who’s been to more Greek festivals than I can count and has probably eaten her weight in Pastitsio, said it was one of the best she’s ever had. Thank you for that. And today we will devour some leftovers. ❤️

Holy Moly I must make this! Thank you soooo much for sharing🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏❤️

Dear Friends of God......................Please research God's Time/Calendar in Genesis 1:14 before a False Sabbath law is enforced! Actions are in progress to honor a Sabbath day, “Green Sabbath”, “Laudato Si, par. 237”, etc. Already today, there are Sunday laws written on government books. The true Sabbath Is not Friday, Saturday, Sunday, etc. The true Sabbath is calculated by true time, Genesis 1:14. An example of God’s Time: The first week.....the new moon day, the six work days and the Sabbath day. The second, third and fourth week........six work days and then the Sabbath day. There is never, ever, ever five weekly Sabbaths in any one of God’s given months as it is on other calendars. Genesis 1:14 is a commandment from God. We are to use the sun, moon and stars to calculate the Sabbaths, etc., not the Gregorian calendar or any other man-made time. ((((((( I understand, under this world system, we use the Gregorian time for work days, doctor’s appointments, etc. )))))) The Sabbath commandment is one of the Ten commandments listed in Exodus 20 and It is just as important as the other nine commandments. It is to be kept! God has three category of days in the Bible, the new moon day, the six work days and the Sabbath day. God’s months start with the new moon day, which is the first day of the month, the beginning of the month. The Gregorian calendar do not start its months with the new moon day. The new moon day falls anywhere and everywhere on the Gregorian calendar. Sometimes, on the famous Gregorian calendar, the new moon day falls on the “Gregorian Seventh day Saturday Sabbath.” How can it both be the first day of the month and the seventh day Sabbath? This along should help a person see that the Gregorian calendar is not true time and that the Biblical Sabbath should not be calculated by it. The Sabbath is a sign between God and I His people Israel and whosoever join themselves to them. One law is to Israel and to the stranger. Exodus 12:48,49 ********* Now, we who keep the Sabbath by the lights in heaven, do not claim to always be on the true Sabbath day. We know that there are times we are not on the right day. But we do believe that Genesis 1:14 is the method to calculate God’s Sabbath. We do not fully understand God’s Time yet. God will give more light.********** ====================================== Also, research the "Seven Noahide Laws" and Education Day U.S.A. From my research online, these laws are Jewish laws taken from their writings, namely the “Talmud.” The first law in “The seven Noahide laws" forbids the worship of idols. According to Jewish writings, the worship of Jesus, Yahushua, etc........is idolatry and is punishable by death, decapitation. Will these laws be enforced on all nations??? Research the connection between the United Nations, The Presidents, President Bush, President Trump, etc. and “The Seven Noahide laws" THESE "SEVEN NOAHIDE LAWS". SEEMS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS TO CHRISTIANS AND TO ALL MANKIND!! ====================================== Lastly, there is much talk online that the Jewish people occupying the land of Israel today are not the true Israelites and that the true Israelites are today now scattered throughout the nations, is this true? There are also other groups of people who say that they are the true Jews. Jesus said in Revelation 2:9 & 3:9 that someone is saying that they are Jews but are not but are the synagogue of Satan. If Jesus warns us about a synagogue of Satan in Revelation 2:9 & 3:9, should not we be concern? If the people residing in the land of Israel not true Israel, then who are they and what is their agenda for the world? Who are the true Bloodline Jews? HAVE A GOOD DAY FRIENDS OF GOD..........GLORY TO THE FATHER AND SON!

Oh yes. It’s going to be a hit I predict. Happy Thanksgiving

So amazing, as usual. I hope to visit Greece someday. Mediterranian foods speak to me, for sure. Thank you.

Many thanks. Yes, I agree there is something about the food from Greece and all around that I love also.

Forget it. Greek food excels mainly in North American, otherwise it's drenched with olive oil. Avoid restaurants that don't include the price column otherwise, the Greeks will ripped you off royally as they do in many places.

Food of the God,s Christine looks scrumptious 👏

Christine, I came across your authentic recipe just in time! I needed to make a Greek dish and a pastitsio is perfect!

I love pastitsio, my yiayia makes this for every holiday! She sometimes puts dill in the beef while she cooks it!

She says, “Everybody playing Nicey.....nice”. Lolol cute!
