The recipes are not always original and sometimes they are just special for a specific region of a country but not representative for the whole country, but most of the time they taste very good. It's the same thing that every American thinks that they yodel in any state of Germany but in reality it's just in a small region in the south of Bavaria in the mountains.

I'm from Turkey and we call it cacık, and the zucchini cake he mentioned at the end, we call that mücver. Whether you call them zucchini cakes/balls, mücver, tzatziki, cacık, gyros, döner etc. doesn't matter to me. I love them all.

Immer wieder ein Freude....

ΟΚ, a Greek feedback: if you want to be a purist, a) we don't grind pepper in the tzatziki, b) we use one source of acidity, and 80% of the times it's gonna be vinegar (mind you, in Greece our mainstay vinegar is the red wine variety), c) we add significantly more olive oil to the same amount of yoghurt, most probably more cucumber as well, d) the cucumber we traditionally dice more instead of grating, and when we grate it's usually done a bit more diagonally, so that its chunks are lengthier and help tzatziki become a bit more dense, e) lemon zest is highly uncommon. Finally, we don't strain strained yoghurt apart from disposing of the excess fluid covering the top surface in the container, what we do instead is shove a rusk or a piece of stale dry bread somewhere in the tzatziki to absorb humidity while keeping it stored in the fridge. So all in all, not what I'd call a traditional Greek tzatziki recipe, but a creative approach nonetheless and one I bet must taste amazing!

Good day to all, peace.

I have been involved in the restaurant industry my entire life, you have re-inspired me to reach a different level of professionalism. For the past month I've been watching your shows and I must say my skill level has increase. Thank you

Oh my goodness I can't WAIT to watch this and then make it. When I was in my 20's, I was stationed in Berlin courtesy of the USAF. My friends and I joked that there were Italian restaurants on every other street corner and the street corners in between had Greek restaurants. This is when I discovered Tzatziki and it got to the point that we could no longer share it, we each had to get one of our own, and sometimes a third that we'd fight over. I LOVE good Tzatziki! The stuff I've usually had since is simply not the same.

Yes! My kind of thing. Delicious. Watching from South Africa and perfect for hot summers.

I make a weight watcher zero point version. Fat free, plain Greek yogurt, a whole English cucumber, minced (I keep the peel, and there aren’t usually a lot of seeds), minced garlic, fresh dill, salt and pepper to taste, the juice of one lime. Probably not quite as tasty as yours, but definitely faster and doesn’t use every appliance and bowl in the kitchen. I will use it in place of ranch dressing for a veggie dip, or even in place of dressing for my salads. I am diabetic, with a fatty liver, and gluten intolerance.

His variation is delicious and I’ve never had anything but complimentary reviews . There are purist and then there are the rest of us. As Chef said, “ It’s really a matter of opinion my friends”.

As a Greek cook I never need to strain the Greek yoghurt, it's always thick enough. The cucumber I do squize and I also don't add any vinegar or lemon, just olive oil, salt, pepper and occasionally dill or mint. It then goes into the pita with meat, tomato, parsley and red onion. Of course it is delicious with many more mezedes! Greetings.

Nailed it! I picked up ingredients tonight after watching this two days ago! Nice work

The best sauce ever

First time I had that was while in college and we went to an gyro shop and I fell in love with it.

You earned my subscription today Chef! Can't wait to try making this, I'm salivating and feeling like Greek food tonight!

It was nice to hear balsamic in the recipe. I’m a chef and years ago a friend worked for a Greek bar/restaurant. Their tzatziki was the best but the recipe was secret, made only by the wife of the owner. I figured out the recipe by asking my friend, what ingredients were ordered that weren’t used in the kitchen. It was balsamic vinegar, not white like Chef suggested but regular balsamic. My tzatziki has been on point ever since. I’ve never used zest so now I have a new recipe to try out. Thank you Chef ❤

I love Tzatiki. My Cypriot friend showed me how to make this over 40 years ago. I can eat it on its own, it’s so delicious! Thanks Chef for making my favorite condiment.

This is one of my favorite sauces in the world. I've tried to make it myself so many times but it never tastes nearly as good as the restaurants. I'll be trying this one tonight. Thanks, Chef!

After I take out the seeds, I salt the Cucumbers with Gros Sel, then after an hour, rinse them, and pat them dry. Then they are easier to grate.

I make Tzatziki all the time. My girlfriend asks me why I make so much? You always need a great Tzatziki!!! Looks fantastic Chef!! 🥰

I drain the yogurt for at least 8 hours, use at least 3 grated cucumbers, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and dill (sometimes mint). I store it in a tightly covered jar and use it as dressing.
