Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and love for this extraordinary place! It’s truly heartwarming to hear that your visit left such a lasting impression on you. The fact that you’re already planning to return next summer speaks volumes about the impact that the beauty, culture, and spirit of the Havasupai lands have had on you. Visiting in July, you likely experienced the mesmerizing turquoise waters of Havasu Falls, the serene yet powerful connection to nature, and the unique rhythm of life in this sacred canyon. The vibrant colors, the songs of the canyon winds, and the hospitality of the Havasupai people all combine to create an unforgettable experience. It’s easy to see why so many visitors leave feeling not just awe-struck, but deeply moved. Returning for a second visit allows you to deepen your connection with the place.

Every visit offers a new perspective, a chance to see something you might have missed the first time, and an opportunity to further appreciate the cultural and natural treasures of this remarkable location. As you plan your next trip, remember to prepare with care to ensure you’re contributing to the preservation of this sacred land. Whether it’s by adhering to Leave No Trace principles, supporting the local community through respectful engagement, or simply sharing your appreciation with others, your actions make a difference. Thank you again for expressing your love for this place and your eagerness to return. May your next visit be just as magical and transformative as the first, if not more so. Safe travels and endless adventures! 🌄✨ Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Σας ευχαριστούμε από καρδιάς για το τόσο συγκινητικό σας σχόλιο, γεμάτο αγάπη και βαθιά σκέψη. 🙏 Η αναγνώριση αυτών των στοιχείων που περιγράφετε είναι η μεγαλύτερη επιβεβαίωση για εμάς ότι το ντοκιμαντέρ κατάφερε να αποτυπώσει την ουσία του ήρωά μας, αλλά και την ευρύτερη πολιτιστική ταυτότητα που εκπροσωπεί. Ο άνθρωπος που παρουσιάζεται στο ντοκιμαντέρ είναι πράγματι σύμβολο του αγώνα, της εργατικότητας, της πίστης και της αφοσίωσης. Κουβαλά στις πλάτες του όχι μόνο την προσωπική του ιστορία, αλλά και την πολιτιστική και ηθική παρακαταθήκη ενός ολόκληρου λαού. Μέσα από τις πράξεις και την τέχνη του, τιμά τις ρίζες του, την παράδοσή του και το δώρο που του χάρισε ο Θεός - την ικανότητα να δημιουργεί με την ψυχή του και να μεταδίδει το ήθος του στις επόμενες γενιές. Η πραγματικότητα που περιγράφετε, με τις αδικίες και την παραποίηση της ιστορίας, είναι δυστυχώς μια πτυχή που συχνά συνοδεύει πολιτισμούς με βαθιές ρίζες και πλούσιο παρελθόν. Όμως, όπως σωστά λέτε, αυτή η ταυτότητα δεν μπορεί να εξαλειφθεί. Είναι μια ζωντανή φλόγα που μεταφέρεται από γενιά σε γενιά, μια αποστολή που ξεπερνά την καθημερινότητα και αγγίζει την ίδια την ουσία της ανθρώπινης ύπαρξης.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment! It’s truly an honor to hear that the artisan who prepares antikristo made you proud as a Cretan. The craftsmanship, dedication, and love that go into this traditional cooking method are a reflection of the deep connection between the Cretan people and their heritage. Our goal with this documentary was to highlight not only the art of antikristo but also the individuals who keep these traditions alive with such care and respect. It’s through their efforts that the legacy of Cretan cuisine and culture continues to inspire pride in the hearts of those connected to this remarkable island. We’re incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to showcase this masterful artisan and the essence of Crete’s traditions. Your pride is a testament to the enduring spirit of Cretan culture, and we hope this documentary serves as a reminder of the extraordinary beauty and authenticity that Crete represents. Warm greetings from everyone involved in this project, and may this story inspire even more appreciation for Crete’s remarkable heritage! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for sharing your location with us! Knowing you’re in North Dakota, a state with its own rich history and natural beauty, brings to mind the deep connections between different regions of the United States and their Indigenous cultures. While North Dakota is far from the Havasupai lands of the Grand Canyon, it is also home to vibrant Native American communities, each with unique traditions, histories, and connections to their land. From the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nations to the Lakota and Dakota peoples, North Dakota has its own stories of resilience, cultural preservation, and deep respect for the environment-values shared by the Havasupai. It’s amazing to consider how the experiences of Indigenous communities across the continent, from the Northern Plains to the Southwest, are both distinct and interconnected. The challenges they face, such as protecting sacred lands and preserving cultural heritage, are universal themes that unite them. The Grand Canyon and its Havasupai caretakers hold a special place in the hearts of many, and it’s heartening to know their story resonates even with those far from their homeland. Whether you’ve been inspired by the Havasupai’s connection to their sacred blue-green waters or feel a kinship with their efforts to honor the land, we hope the documentary offers a meaningful perspective that connects us all, no matter where we call home. Thank you for being part of this shared appreciation. If you ever have the chance to visit the Havasupai or their breathtaking home in the canyon, it would undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience. Until then, we hope their story continues to inspire and resonate with you, wherever you are! 🌎 Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

@ all thanks to

Thank you for sharing such a deeply personal and heartfelt comment. Your words carry a powerful sense of longing, courage, and a desire for connection. This moment of readiness to reunite with your people and embrace your identity is both profound and transformative. The journey toward reconnecting with one’s community and heritage is deeply personal and can be both challenging and rewarding. It’s a testament to your strength and determination that you are willing to take this step. Reuniting with your people, whether through direct interaction or cultural rediscovery, is not just about finding others-it’s about rediscovering yourself, your roots, and the shared history that ties you to your ancestors. If the documentary has inspired this awakening in you, then it has served a purpose far beyond storytelling. The Havasupai people, like many Indigenous communities, understand the significance of belonging and the power of unity. Their way of life, deeply intertwined with nature and each other, is a reminder of the importance of connection-both with the land and with the people who share it. You mentioned feeling alone, and it’s important to acknowledge that loneliness can sometimes be a part of the path toward reconnection. However, this sense of isolation can also fuel the desire to seek out the bonds that will fill that space with meaning and belonging. If you are ready to reach out, take that step with an open heart and a willingness to learn, contribute, and embrace. Your courage in expressing this sentiment speaks volumes. If the Havasupai, or any community you seek to reconnect with, welcome you, it will be because of your genuine intent and the respect you carry for their traditions and values. Whether it’s through physical reunions, cultural exchanges, or simply walking a path that honors your heritage, know that this is a journey worth taking. May you find the connection and sense of belonging you seek, and may this next chapter of your life be filled with understanding, community, and the profound joy of being truly seen and embraced by your people. 🌿 Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

@KissFromTheWorld You've made my spirit very happy, and I believe I was called to tell my spirit tribe that it's time to make make the flight back to you're home. I walked the trail of tears. I cried so much, the grand canyon has flooded. I'm soo sorry. I care so much. It is almost time... Mother Earth is going to fight to get her children back. War. It's time.

Σε ευχαριστούμε πολύ για το σχόλιό σου! Η απλότητα και ο ενθουσιασμός σου λένε πολλά. Είναι χαρά μας που εκτιμάς την προσπάθεια που έγινε για να αναδειχθεί αυτή η πτυχή της κρητικής παράδοσης, της γαστρονομίας και της φιλοξενίας. Το αντικριστό, όπως και κάθε παραδοσιακό πιάτο, κουβαλά μέσα του μια ιστορία. Δεν είναι απλώς φαγητό, είναι μια εμπειρία που συνδέει το παρελθόν με το παρόν, αναδεικνύοντας την τέχνη και την αγάπη για την παράδοση. Είμαστε χαρούμενοι που καταφέραμε να το μεταφέρουμε μέσα από το ντοκιμαντέρ, και που έφτασε σε σένα με τόσο θετικό τρόπο. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for pointing this out - you’ve made an excellent observation. You’re correct that the term “natural yeast” is used intentionally by the baker. In traditional Italian bread-making, particularly with heritage breads like those from Altamura, the aim is not necessarily to produce a strongly sour flavor profile but rather a balanced, nuanced taste that highlights the quality of the wheat and the slow fermentation process. The starter culture, or “lievito madre” as it’s known in Italy, is naturally leavened but isn’t always what people might think of as "sourdough" in the sense of a strong, tangy flavor. Instead, the goal is to create a leavening agent that imparts complexity and depth without overpowering the inherent sweetness and nuttiness of the durum wheat flour. It’s a matter of balance - nurturing the natural yeast and bacteria to develop a mild acidity that enhances the flavor without veering into a distinctly sour territory. Each baker tailors the maintenance of their starter according to the desired outcome. In Altamura, the tradition emphasizes a delicate balance where the natural yeast provides the characteristic airy texture and slight chewiness of the crust, but the focus is squarely on allowing the flavor of the local semolina flour to shine through. This is why you might find the bread to be subtly tangy at most, but predominantly rich, slightly nutty, and very aromatic. Your comment highlights an important aspect of artisanal bread-making: the flexibility and artistry involved in managing the starter culture. It’s not just about following a recipe but understanding the interplay between the wild yeast, the specific flour used, and the environmental factors. This is a craft that has been honed over centuries, with each baker developing their unique approach to achieve the desired taste and texture. I appreciate your keen observation and understanding of the subtleties of natural leavening. It’s always a pleasure to engage with someone who has such a deep appreciation for the art and science of baking. If you ever have the chance to taste this bread fresh, I think you’ll find that the subtle flavor reflects this careful balance, providing a distinct experience far beyond what the term "sourdough" might typically suggest. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Seu comentário toca em um aspecto importante e sensível sobre a criação de gado leiteiro, especialmente no contexto da produção de Parmigiano Reggiano. É compreensível ter preocupações sobre o bem-estar dos animais, e este é um tema que merece atenção e reflexão. Na produção de Parmigiano Reggiano, os agricultores seguem diretrizes rigorosas para garantir tanto a qualidade do leite quanto o bem-estar das vacas. Na maioria das fazendas, as vacas não estão eternamente presas; ao contrário, elas passam parte do tempo em estábulos confortáveis e, quando o clima permite, têm acesso a pastagens externas para se alimentar e se movimentar livremente. O pasto e a alimentação natural contribuem significativamente para a qualidade superior do leite utilizado no Parmigiano Reggiano. Além disso, o consórcio do Parmigiano Reggiano estabelece normas estritas que proíbem o uso de silagem e exigem que as vacas sejam alimentadas principalmente com feno e erva medica, práticas que favorecem a saúde e o bem-estar dos animais. Os produtores sabem que vacas saudáveis produzem leite de alta qualidade, e, portanto, cuidam com atenção das suas necessidades diárias. Dito isso, é verdade que a criação intensiva de gado pode ser motivo de preocupação em algumas indústrias. No entanto, no caso de produtos tradicionais e artesanais como o Parmigiano Reggiano, há um esforço contínuo para preservar métodos sustentáveis e respeitosos que considerem o bem-estar animal. A transparência na produção e as regulamentações locais ajudam a assegurar que as práticas sejam éticas e alinhadas com o respeito pelos animais. Esperamos que essa explicação possa trazer um pouco mais de clareza sobre o tema e mostrar que o bem-estar das vacas é uma prioridade para muitos produtores dedicados a manter a autenticidade e a qualidade do Parmigiano Reggiano. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar! Wir verstehen, dass es ohne ein genaues Rezept schwierig sein kann, die im Video gezeigten Gerichte nachzukochen. Unser Ziel war es jedoch, die Kunst und Hingabe des Meisters hervorzuheben, die über viele Jahre hinweg entwickelt wurden. Dabei wollten wir die Bedeutung der traditionellen Techniken und die familiären Traditionen ins Zentrum stellen. Die Herstellung von Süßspeisen wie Baklava und Kadaifi erfordert ein tiefes Verständnis und viel Erfahrung. Der Meister im Film folgt Rezepten, die über Generationen weitergegeben wurden und oft nicht in exakten Mengenangaben festgehalten sind, sondern auf Gefühl, Geduld und Können beruhen. Diese Art des Backens ist weniger eine Frage präziser Anleitungen, sondern eher ein Ausdruck von Handwerkskunst und Intuition, die mit der Zeit perfektioniert wurden. Wir hoffen, dass das Video dennoch die Faszination für diese Traditionen und das kulinarische Erbe vermittelt. Vielen Dank für Ihr Interesse und dafür, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, sich mit dieser besonderen Geschichte auseinanderzusetzen! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your thoughts! You’re absolutely right to notice that small detail - and I appreciate your observant eye. While we mentioned that much of the process is done by hand, there are indeed some stages where modern equipment like mixers come into play. This is primarily to ensure consistency, especially when handling larger batches of dough. However, it’s important to highlight that using a mixer doesn’t compromise the authenticity or the quality of the final product. In fact, after the initial mixing phase, every step that truly defines the character of this bread - from shaping and folding to scoring and baking in the wood-fired oven - is done manually by the skilled hands of the bakers. They continue to rely on techniques passed down through generations, which is why the bread retains its traditional texture, flavor, and soul. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the video despite this minor observation. Our goal was to give viewers a glimpse into the intricate world of artisanal baking, blending a respect for tradition with a touch of practicality where needed. Thank you again for your lovely feedback. We’re glad you found the video superb, and we hope it brought you closer to the beauty of this timeless craft! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

@@KissFromTheWorld Thank yo so much for your reply. Yes, mixing is the only way to manage such large quantities of dough. Though, I would say that the mixer, full gluten development, that you do is not the best way to go for flavour. It is a necessary compromise and I respect that. Respectfully, home baking has the advantage that we do not need to cut these corners and we can long ferment the dough for fuller flavours. We have a great advantage over artisans with their production pressures and their need to manage overheads. Fish cannot fly and birds do not swim so deep. Both have their place. None of this is criticism. Your customers are very fortunate to have a bakery of your quality. Pushing for broke and being very cheeky? How much durum rimacinata vs strong bread flour would you recommend please? Not what you use, I would not ask that. But, for a proficient baker sourcing good Italian Durum flour from artisanal millers. Again I say this video and your bread production process was absolutely superb. I am so grateful for it. Would that we had a bakery like yours close by. Thank you. This video is a great gift.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and nuanced response. I truly appreciate the respectful way you’ve approached this topic and the deep understanding you have of the baking process. You’ve raised some excellent points, particularly about the differences between home baking and artisanal production at scale. Indeed, the mixer and full gluten development are compromises driven by the need to handle larger quantities and ensure consistency. You are absolutely correct in noting that long fermentation yields deeper flavors, and that’s a significant advantage of home baking. The extended fermentation not only enhances the taste but also adds complexity and digestibility. In a commercial setting, however, the balancing act between flavor, production efficiency, and maintaining the high standards our customers expect is a constant challenge. It’s like you said so beautifully - fish cannot fly, and birds do not swim so deep; both approaches have their strengths and serve different purposes. As for your cheeky question about the flour blend: I’m happy to share a recommendation! When working with good-quality durum flour (rimacinata), I suggest starting with a blend of 70% durum and 30% strong bread flour. This ratio allows you to capture the distinctive nutty flavor and golden color of the durum wheat while benefiting from the additional gluten strength of the bread flour, making the dough easier to handle. If you prefer a more robust, traditional texture and flavor, you can increase the proportion of durum to 80%, but be prepared for a slightly more challenging dough to work with due to the lower gluten content. I’m truly delighted that you found value in the video and enjoyed the look into our baking process. It’s incredibly rewarding to connect with someone who shares such a passion for the craft of bread-making. Your respect and appreciation for the work we do mean a lot, and it’s heartening to know that there are home bakers like you who carry on these traditions with such dedication. Happy baking, and may your loaves continue to be filled with flavor and joy! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia @@kevinu.k.7042

​@@KissFromTheWorld Again thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I shall try your recommendations. Thanks. Yes, bread is fairly central to my life. Forty years ago I gave up on the bread which was available here and I have baked my own bread ever since. I am still learning. The U.K is no Altamura! I wish you and your family well. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt reaction! 🙏🏽 It’s truly touching to see how this documentary has resonated with viewers like you. The simple yet profound expression of gratitude in your comment beautifully reflects the emotional connection many feel when witnessing the dedication, craftsmanship, and humanity of the master featured in the film. Through his lifelong devotion to the art of pastry-making, he not only creates delicious desserts but also honors traditions, preserves cultural heritage, and inspires those around him. His work reminds us that behind every dish lies a story of passion, patience, and love. We deeply appreciate your support and the time you took to share this moment with us. May this documentary continue to bring warmth, inspiration, and joy to all who watch it. Thank you again for your kind presence! 🙏🏽 Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

It’s wonderful to hear that your visit to Havasupai left such a lasting impression on you! Your experience playing basketball with the locals and sharing moments of camaraderie speaks volumes about the openness and hospitality of the Havasupai people. Engaging in these shared activities is a unique way to connect beyond words and gain a deeper appreciation for the community spirit that thrives in Supai Village. The people of Havasupai have a strong tradition of sports and outdoor activities, with basketball being a favorite pastime among the youth and adults alike. It’s one of those special ways in which visitors can bond with the locals, crossing cultural barriers and finding common ground through a shared love for the game. While your memories of enjoying beer and weed reflect a relaxed and social side of the visit, it’s also worth acknowledging that these experiences are part of broader dynamics that can impact the community. The Havasupai, like many Indigenous groups, face challenges related to substance use, influenced by historical trauma and socioeconomic factors. It’s important to remember this context and approach such memories with sensitivity and respect for the broader cultural and social environment. What stands out most from your comment is the sense of connection and positive memories you’ve taken away from your time in the Grand Canyon. It’s a place that has a unique way of bringing people together, fostering a spirit of shared experience and understanding. We hope that your memories of Havasupai continue to inspire you and that the bond you felt with the people and the land remains a cherished part of your travels. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

We look forward to the day when you and your wife make your way to Supai. Until then, we wish you both all the best in your travels and hope that the promise you’ve made to visit will bring you closer to this remarkable place. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for your comment and for sharing your experience with adenium cultivation! It’s great to hear that your mix of cocopeat and perlite is working well for your plants. When it comes to adding cow dung to the potting mix for strawberries, it can be beneficial but must be used with caution. Cow dung is a natural, nutrient-rich organic fertilizer that can provide essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. However, there are several factors to consider: BENEFITS OF ADDING COW DUNG 1. Nutrient Boost: Cow dung is rich in organic matter and can improve soil fertility, providing a slow-release source of nutrients that can help promote healthy growth in strawberries. 2. Microbial Activity: It also enhances beneficial microbial activity, which can improve nutrient availability and overall plant health. 3. Soil Structure: Adding well-composted cow dung can improve the structure of the potting mix, helping it retain moisture while also enhancing aeration. IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS 1. Proper Composting: Raw cow dung should not be added directly to the potting mix, as it can be too strong and may contain pathogens or high levels of ammonia that can harm the plants. It’s crucial to use well-composted cow dung, which has had time to break down and stabilize. 2. Mix Ratios: When adding composted cow dung to a potting mix like cocopeat and perlite, start with a small proportion-about 10-20% cow dung mixed with 70-80% cocopeat and perlite. This balance ensures that the mix remains well-draining while benefiting from the nutrients provided by the cow dung. 3. pH Balance: Cow dung can slightly increase the pH of your potting mix. Since strawberries prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 5.5 to 6.5), be mindful of the overall pH and consider adjusting if necessary. YOUR ADENIUM MIX It’s wonderful to hear that your adeniums are thriving in cocopeat and perlite! This mix is excellent for plants that need good drainage and aeration, which is why it’s commonly used for succulents and cacti like adenium. If you’re thinking of experimenting with cow dung for your adeniums as well, start with a small amount to test, as these plants generally prefer leaner, well-draining soils. Overall, adding composted cow dung can be a great way to enrich your potting mix, but it’s all about finding the right balance to meet the needs of your specific plants. I hope this helps, and happy growing! 🍓🌱 Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for your thoughtful message and respect. We understand that baklava, kataifi, and similar pastries are cherished across a variety of cultures, each with a unique historical and regional approach. While many see these pastries as particularly emblematic of Turkish cuisine, others in Greece, Armenia, and throughout the Levant also consider them an integral part of their culinary traditions. Over the centuries, these recipes evolved and spread widely, particularly through the exchange of people, ideas, and ingredients within the Ottoman Empire. Our documentary focuses on the art of pastry-making as practiced by a Greek master, whose work represents not only his personal dedication but also the continuity of local family traditions. For him, and for many families in Greece, baking baklava or kataifi is not only a recipe but a cultural legacy passed down through generations, embodying both skill and heart. His deep respect for these techniques highlights a shared Mediterranean heritage. The richness of these culinary arts across different regions is truly something to celebrate, and it’s heartening to see respect and appreciation for the diverse origins that make these pastries so beloved worldwide. Thank you for your message and for joining in the appreciation of this unique tradition! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

@KissFromTheWorld I am a Turk who protects people's rights without discrimination. Don't get me wrong, I did not write to argue. But if this was something specific to the Armenian or Greek people, all Armenians and Greeks around the world would practice this art. But we see that only the Greeks and Armenians close to Anatolia do this occasionally, but in the Turkish world tradition, all Turks have been making the same food and desserts for thousands of years, am I right? Yes, the master in the video is a respectable and hardworking person, but if this was his art, he could have improved these products a lot. Of course I don't want to offend or hurt the Greek and Armenian people, but what they do, Turkish women have been able to do much better at home for centuries. Therefore, it is a very wrong title to attribute this culture to those who are far behind in this profession or who cannot provide any pleasure. When it comes to the subject of cake, cake entered the culture of the Turks much later and according to what we have heard from our ancestors, cake does not belong to the Turkish culture, it is an Albanian and Bosnian tradition. Best regards 🙋🏻

Thank you for sharing this reference to Jacob and the twelve tribes of Israel. It's remarkable how these ancient stories continue to hold relevance and meaning today, especially as they touch on themes of identity, heritage, and spiritual roots. Jacob's twelve sons, each representing a different tribe, symbolize the diversity and unity within a single lineage. This story resonates with many cultures worldwide, including those within Indigenous communities. Each group, much like the twelve tribes, often carries its own unique traditions, languages, and customs, yet they are all connected through common ancestry, land, and spiritual beliefs. In many ways, Jacob’s journey and the legacy of his twelve sons parallel the rich diversity and interconnectedness seen among Indigenous nations. Just as each tribe in Israel had its own identity but shared a common lineage and spiritual path, Indigenous tribes often uphold distinct yet interwoven identities within the larger fabric of their heritage. Stories like Jacob’s serve as powerful reminders of the importance of honoring ancestry, understanding our origins, and recognizing the values of community and connection that transcend time. Thank you for bringing this thoughtful reflection into the conversation! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for the beautiful and heartfelt symbols you've shared! It’s incredible how universal symbols like these-the hands in prayer, the dove, the sparkle of light, and the warmth of yellow-communicate so much without words. They resonate with themes of peace, hope, and unity, which are at the heart of this documentary’s message. The dove, representing peace and purity, mirrors the tranquility found in Supai and the Havasupai people's respect for the land. The sparkle captures the wonder and beauty of the natural world, a gift that the Havasupai people are dedicated to preserving for future generations. Together, these symbols remind us of the power of harmony, reverence, and gratitude for what connects us to each other and to the earth. Thank you for your thoughtful response; it’s inspiring to know this message resonated so deeply with you! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

@KissFromTheWorld Thank You, Truly 🫶♾️☺️

Χαιρόμαστε που το ντοκιμαντέρ κατάφερε να σου ανοίξει την όρεξη και να σου φέρει κοντά τη γεύση της Κρήτης, ακόμα κι από μακριά. Η Ήπειρος και η Κρήτη μπορεί να είναι δύο διαφορετικά μέρη, αλλά μοιράζονται κοινές παραδόσεις και αγάπη για τις γνήσιες γεύσεις και τον καλό μεζέ. Ένα κομμάτι αντικριστό, το αυθεντικό αυτό πιάτο, θέλει πάνω απ’ όλα μεράκι, και χαίρομαι που η αίσθηση αυτή έφτασε μέχρι εσάς. Σε περιμένουμε στην Κρήτη με ανοιχτές αγκαλιές και γεμάτα τραπέζια!

Thank you for sharing a bit about your family. Riverside Indian School in Oklahoma has such a rich history and tradition of supporting Native youth from many tribes across the country. It's an incredible accomplishment for your daughter to graduate from there, and I imagine it must be a source of pride for you and your family. Riverside's mission reflects the deep commitment to honoring Indigenous culture and preparing future generations with skills and values rooted in their heritage. Graduates often carry forward a strong sense of community and responsibility, becoming advocates and stewards for Native culture, lands, and traditions. Thank you again for connecting your family’s story with this documentary-it’s inspiring to see how the shared bonds between Native communities, from Oklahoma to the lands of the Havasupai, continue to weave together such meaningful legacies. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Αγαπητέ φίλε, έχεις δίκιο, το αντικριστό έχει τις ιδιαιτερότητές του, και είναι αλήθεια πως απαιτεί πολλά ξύλα και χρόνο! Η τέχνη του ψησίματος με αντικριστό δεν είναι απλά μια διαδικασία για να ψηθεί το κρέας, αλλά μια εμπειρία και παράδοση που ενσωματώνει υπομονή, δεξιοτεχνία, και πολλή αγάπη για την παράδοση. Όμως, το αποτέλεσμα - το άρωμα και η γεύση του αντικριστού - είναι κάτι το ανεπανάληπτο. Πράγματι, τα ξύλα που καίγονται δεν είναι απλά για να ψηθεί το κρέας, αλλά για να διατηρηθεί ζωντανή η παράδοση, προσδίδοντας αυτό το μοναδικό άρωμα και τη γεύση που απολαμβάνουμε. Κάθε κομμάτι κρέατος έχει σιγοψηθεί όπως ακριβώς πρέπει, αφήνοντας όλη τη γεύση να αναδειχθεί. Οπότε, ναι, μπορεί το κόστος των ξύλων να φαίνεται βαρύ, αλλά όταν δεις και γευτείς το τελικό αποτέλεσμα, καταλαβαίνεις γιατί αξίζει τον κόπο! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Vielen Dank für Ihre herzlichen Worte und Ihre wunderbare Wertschätzung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie die Atmosphäre unseres Dokumentarfilms auf so tiefgreifende Weise erleben konnten. Der Weg, wie Sie die Arbeit des alten Meisters als poetisch und beruhigend beschreiben, trifft genau das, was wir festhalten wollten: die Ruhe und Hingabe, die sich in seiner jahrzehntelangen Arbeit widerspiegeln. Unser Protagonist ist tatsächlich ein einzigartiger Mensch, der sein Leben der Backkunst und der Bewahrung traditioneller Familienrezepte gewidmet hat. Mit jedem Handgriff zeigt er, wie viel Respekt und Liebe er für sein Handwerk und seine Mitmenschen empfindet. Die Unterstützung und das Engagement seiner Familie und Mitarbeiter sind ein wichtiger Teil dessen, was diese Bäckerei so besonders macht. Wir werden Ihre herzlichen Grüße gerne an ihn und sein Team weitergeben. Solche warmen und wertschätzenden Worte wie Ihre geben uns und ihm Inspiration und Kraft, diese Tradition weiterzuführen. Danke Ihnen nochmals, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, diesen besonderen Moment mit uns zu teilen. Herzlichste Grüße aus dem Team und wir wünschen Ihnen nur das Beste! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Σε ευχαριστούμε πολύ για το θερμό σου σχόλιο και την αγάπη σου για την κρητική παράδοση! Μας δίνει μεγάλη χαρά να βλέπουμε ότι η γεύση και η φιλοξενία της Κρήτης είναι κομμάτια που εκτιμώνται και από την Μάνη, μια περιοχή με δική της ισχυρή παράδοση και υπέροχες γεύσεις. Όταν έρθεις στην Κρήτη, θα σε περιμένουμε με ανοιχτές αγκαλιές και γεμάτα τραπέζια. Είναι τιμή μας να φιλέψουμε έναν φίλο από την Μάνη με αυθεντικό αντικριστό και όλα τα καλούδια που προσφέρει η κρητική γη. Ένα καλό τραπέζι φέρνει κοντά ανθρώπους, γεύσεις και ιστορίες, και είμαστε βέβαιοι ότι θα έχουμε πολλά να μοιραστούμε! Πολλούς χαιρετισμούς στη Μάνη και σε περιμένουμε για να απολαύσουμε μαζί τις ομορφιές και τα αρώματα της Κρήτης! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for your kind words and warm greetings from Australia! It’s wonderful to see the global connection and respect for the Havasupai people. Their way of life, rooted in deep respect for nature and each other, is indeed something truly beautiful and admirable. The Havasupai, like so many Indigenous communities, embody values that emphasize harmony, reverence for the land, and the importance of family and community. Their resilience in the face of challenges is a testament to their strength and dedication to preserving their culture and traditions. It’s heartening to know that their story resonates with people far beyond their homeland, across the globe. May we all learn from the lessons of the Havasupai, who continue to walk in beauty and honor their sacred lands. Thank you again for sharing in the appreciation of these remarkable people. 🌍💚 Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for your engaging comment! It’s wonderful that you noticed the Bedouins’ incredible ability to handle hot food with their fingers. This skill is a testament to their profound connection to their environment and the life they've lived in the desert for centuries. Bedouins have developed a remarkable resilience to the harsh conditions of the desert, and this ability to handle hot food, often cooked in open fires or traditional ovens, is a natural part of their survival instincts and daily routines. Their hands, trained over years of experience, allow them to handle objects that might seem too hot for most of us, reflecting their deep knowledge and adaptation to the land they call home. As for the "kitteh kot" (likely referring to a cat), it’s always delightful when animals are spotted in these settings! Cats have often been companions to Bedouins, serving as both pets and protectors, keeping watch over food stores and keeping pests at bay. The presence of animals, including cats, adds a warm, human touch to the documentary, illustrating the ways in which animals and humans coexist in these traditional lifestyles. Your comment brings a great sense of joy as it highlights both the fascinating practices of the Bedouins and the charming elements of life that surround them. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for pointing out these details that make the documentary so engaging! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for your comment! It seems like you may be referring to a specific moment or aspect of the documentary where the "pots did stop," but I’m not entirely sure what you mean. Could you please clarify or provide more context about what you’re referring to? If it's related to a particular event or symbol in the documentary, we’d love to understand your perspective better. Our aim with this film was to accurately represent the daily life, traditions, and culture of the Guarani people, and your feedback could help us enhance future projects. Looking forward to hearing more from you! 🌿✨ Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video. The man featured in the documentary is truly a treasure - his dedication to his craft and his ability to preserve these centuries-old traditions with such care is something extraordinary. It's more than just baking; it's about honoring family heritage, passing down valuable skills, and keeping cultural practices alive for future generations. Your respect for him reflects the deep admiration many people have for his lifelong work. We are grateful for your thoughtful comment and for appreciating the essence of his story. Thank you again for watching! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Αγαπητέ φίλε, πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα η ερώτησή σου! Ας πούμε ότι, αν και το αρνάκι απολαμβάνει τη βοσκή του στα βουνά, τρώγοντας μονάχα χορτάρι και βότανα, δύσκολα το λες «vegan» με την κλασική έννοια. Ένας χορτοφάγος που ακολουθεί αυστηρά την διατροφή του μάλλον θα το κοιτάξει με κάποια καχυποψία. Αλλά μιας και το έθεσες έτσι, ποιος ξέρει; Ίσως η κρητική παράδοση να έχει βρει το πρώτο «vegan» αρνάκι! Εξάλλου, με τέτοια διατροφή και ζωή, ίσως και το αρνάκι να πληροί κάποιες από τις «πράσινες» προδιαγραφές. Θα μπορούσε να είναι το πιο κοντινό σε «vegan-friendly» επιλογή για χορτοφάγους που δεν θέλουν να περιορίζονται! Σε κάθε περίπτωση, σε περιμένουμε στην Κρήτη για να το εξετάσουμε από κοντά! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Спасибо за ваш вопрос! В документальном фильме мы рассказываем о приготовлении традиционных греческих сладостей - баклавы и кадаифа. Эти десерты широко распространены на Балканах, в Греции и на Ближнем Востоке, и каждый регион привносит в них что-то своё. Баклава - это слоёное лакомство, приготовленное из тонкого теста фило, начинённого орехами и пропитанного сиропом из меда или сахара, который придаёт десерту его сладкий, насыщенный вкус. Кадаиф похож на баклаву, но его тесто представляет собой тонкие, как нити, полоски, которые после выпекания становятся хрустящими и нежными, а внутри содержат ореховую начинку. Оба этих блюда требуют времени и мастерства, и наш герой - пожилой мастер-пекарь - посвятил всю свою жизнь совершенствованию рецептов и технике приготовления этих десертов. Надеемся, что документальный фильм даст вам возможность лучше понять историю и традиции, которые стоят за этими знаменитыми сладостями! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for your question! In the documentary, what you see the elderly master pastry chef taking from the container is yeast flour, not cornstarch. Yeast flour is a finely milled flour that often contains a small amount of yeast, which helps create a lighter texture in certain baked goods. However, in this case, it's used for its fine consistency, ideal for creating the ultra-thin layers of filo (or phyllo) dough used in baklava and kataifi. In traditional pastry-making, the finesse of the dough is essential, as each layer must be nearly transparent. Cornstarch is sometimes dusted between these layers to prevent sticking, but it is not the main ingredient. The yeast flour provides the right texture and elasticity, allowing the chef to roll it out into these delicate sheets. Once layered with nuts and syrup, the thin dough gives baklava and kataifi their unique, flaky texture. Thank you for your interest in the details of this traditional process! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Спасибо вам за такой душевный отклик! Мы рады, что вам удалось почувствовать атмосферу этого «священнодействия», как вы так точно его назвали, даже без понимания языка. Наш герой - действительно удивительный человек, посвятивший всю свою жизнь искусству выпечки и сохранению семейных рецептов. В его каждое движение вложены годы опыта и искренняя любовь к своему делу, что и создаёт эту особую тишину и гармонию, которую вы почувствовали. Для него работа на кухне - не просто труд, а целый ритуал, полный уважения к традициям и к тем, кому он передает свои знания. Ваши добрые слова будут переданы ему и всей съёмочной команде, для которых такие отклики - это источник вдохновения. Спасибо вам за тёплые пожелания и за то, что разделили с нами эту радость просмотра! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for your appreciation! Parmigiano Reggiano truly is a remarkable cheese, celebrated worldwide not only for its distinctive, complex flavor but also for the craftsmanship and tradition behind it. Every wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano tells a story of time-honored practices passed down through generations in the region of Emilia-Romagna, where the specific environment and local expertise come together to create this iconic cheese. What makes Parmigiano Reggiano so unique is the strict process involved, from the selection of specific cow breeds for their milk to the traditional methods of curdling, salting, and aging. Each step, done without additives or preservatives, enhances the cheese’s natural flavors and texture. The characteristic crystalline crunch and nutty taste are achieved only after months-or even years-of aging, giving the cheese layers of depth that few others can match. For many, tasting authentic Parmigiano Reggiano for the first time is a revelation. It’s an experience that showcases the power of patience, dedication, and respect for traditional methods. We’re glad the documentary could highlight some of this cheese’s extraordinary qualities and bring its legacy to viewers around the world. Thank you for recognizing this “King of Cheese” and for sharing in our admiration for this exceptional culinary treasure! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for your enthusiasm! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the video and felt connected to the story behind Parmigiano Reggiano. This cheese is far more than an ingredient-it's a living piece of Italian heritage, crafted with methods that have been refined and perfected for centuries. Through this documentary, our goal was to capture the dedication of the artisans who bring Parmigiano Reggiano to life. Each wheel represents a profound commitment to quality, tradition, and respect for nature. From the selection of the specific breeds of cows, whose milk provides the ideal balance for cheesemaking, to the careful aging process in special environments, every stage adds to the complex, unique flavor of this beloved cheese. We hope the video provided insight into the hard work, patience, and passion that goes into creating this "King of Cheeses." For anyone who has enjoyed Parmigiano Reggiano, seeing the process behind it often deepens appreciation, as you begin to understand that each bite is the product of skill honed through generations. Thank you again for watching and for sharing your positive response! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Для мастера и его семьи каждый день на кухне - это не просто работа, а настоящий праздник души и сердца, наполненный любовью к кулинарному искусству и взаимным уважением. Ваши тёплые пожелания для них очень ценны, ведь такие слова дают силу и вдохновляют продолжать их важное дело. Счастья вам, и спасибо за то, что разделили с нами этот трогательный момент!

Thank you so much for your concern and for staying connected with his story! I’m glad to let you know that the elderly master pastry chef is doing well. His dedication to his craft and to sharing these family traditions continues to keep him active and connected to the community. The joy he finds in creating these traditional pastries is as strong as ever, and it’s wonderful to see how his work resonates with people worldwide. Your message highlights the powerful impact of his story, which transcends time and borders. We hope his journey and love for his art continue to bring a sense of warmth and connection, especially in challenging times. Thank you again for your kind words and for being part of this journey with us! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

@@KissFromTheWorld thank you for the update. Praying that God will give him more strength and good health to continue his passion in pastry making. God bless him and your YT channel.

Thank you for your comment and for engaging in this fascinating discussion about the origins of beloved dishes! You’re absolutely correct that baklava and kataifi have deep cultural and historical roots that span across regions, particularly the Ottoman and Arabic influences. Baklava, often attributed to Turkey, and kataifi, with its roots in Arabic culture, indeed carry the flavors and techniques that originated in specific regions and were perfected over centuries. However, just like pizza, which has spread far beyond Italy to take on new forms and flavors worldwide, baklava and kataifi have become cherished parts of multiple culinary traditions. In Greece, particularly in Crete, these pastries have been adapted to include unique regional ingredients and flavors, creating a version that is distinctly Greek yet respectful of its historical origins. Each culture that has adopted these recipes brings something new to the dish, whether it’s a specific type of nut, syrup, or preparation method, allowing the recipe to evolve and gain a special place in different culinary traditions. This exchange of recipes and flavors across borders truly enriches each cuisine. It allows us to enjoy foods that tell stories of our shared past, showing how interconnected our food traditions really are. Thank you again for your insight, and we hope this documentary offers a glimpse into how Greece has embraced and adapted these wonderful pastries into its own culinary heritage. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt thoughts and dreams. Your connection to Supai, even without having seen its waters in person, speaks to the deep bond many hold with their ancestral lands-a bond that transcends physical presence and resides in memory, dreams, and spirit. Uranium mining and other forms of environmental exploitation threaten not only the physical beauty and purity of the land and water but also the cultural and spiritual ties that people like you and your ancestors have to Supai. The waters of Havasu Creek, with their famous blue-green hue, are not just visually stunning; they hold deep significance for the Havasupai people, embodying life, sustenance, and continuity. It’s incredibly moving that you've dreamed of the blue waters since you were young, and it’s clear that Supai calls to you in profound ways. Even though you haven’t been able to experience it firsthand, the land and its waters live within you, shaping your dreams and your identity. It’s a testament to the enduring power of ancestral memory and the strength of cultural roots. The red sky in your dream, coupled with the sense of needing to return to where you came from, may reflect your concerns about the future of your homeland-an uncertain horizon due to the potential dangers posed by uranium mining. These threats to the environment are also threats to the sacred nature of the land and the future generations who have yet to experience the beauty of Supai for themselves. The fact that someone knows your father and your family's roots are embedded in this place strengthens your bond to Supai. Your yearning to return and experience the waters, along with your dreams, are part of a larger connection to the land that so many Havasupai share. It’s not just about physical return, but about protecting and preserving the land so that others-both within and outside your community-can continue to experience the wonders of Supai. May your dreams of the blue waters and your desire to reconnect with your ancestral home one day become a reality. And may the Havasupai people's ongoing efforts to protect the land and waters from environmental harm succeed, ensuring that this sacred place remains intact for you and future generations. Your story is a reminder of the importance of this fight, not only for the land itself but for the people whose spirits are so deeply entwined with it. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia
