Yes. Year round. Never be without them.

[@larsedik]

@@Agapy8888I'm not going to wait for Christmas to make these, but I think they would be perfect for Easter as well.

[@Agapy8888]

[@Jellybeanifyer]

I saw this on your Greek channel and I really wanted to make it and now this English video makes it so much easier!!

[@MIGHTYRIVERS19]

LOVE MELOMAKARONA , AKIS YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY , THANK YOU , BEST WISHES **

[@robertlazar]

I did this as well, but half of the quantity. Also, I reduced the amount of sugar, as it was a bit too much. Also, I added a twist to the recipe: ground ginger. I know it's not Christmas in May but with this recipe and the lockdown it's just like in December. Goes well with mulled wine. Thanks Akis for the recipe! I love Greek cooking!

[@pm5095]

Have you halved the syrop ingredients too? Good job!

[@anxhelamarku9872]

Greetings from Albania Akis😍 I tried this recipe today and they are veryyy delicious. I always wanted to cook these, but didn’t know how,until I found your channel. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I suggest everyone to try it. You will not be disappointed ☺️ Keep it up with the great work😊😍

[@lougiaki123]

Πωπωπω!!! Ακη γελαω με τη προφορά!! Επισης η μελωδικη ελληνικη φωνη δεν αλλαζει με τίποτα ειτε μιλαμε αγγλικα, γερμανικα, γαλλικαα... Χιιιιλια ευχαριστω που ανεβαζεις συνταγες στα αγγλικά! Thanks for sharing it in English!! Χρονια πολλα, νασαι καλά!

I onced had a similar recipe. But this one Akis.... I just made them and they are mind-blowing. Huge thumbs up for this one!

[@lanad.4647]

Bravo Akis! Your recipe is the best one online that I've come across. Great instruction too! The semolina is key. I also like to add a little Cognac to the dough, but unlike you (and so many others on KZbin)--I just toss everything into my Kitchenaid and the dough comes out perfect ever time. Even if it's not perfect (sometimes a little on the dry side), it really doesn't matter b/c they get dipped in the honey/orange/lemon rind/cinnamon stick syrup... Just made them for my Serbian family and everyone loves them. Kali orexi to all!

[@YamiHikariHime]

Ευχαριστώ πολύ! I hope my Γιαγιά will be proud when she tries them this year!

[@lindaliestman4397]

I love making and eating these delightful Greek cookies. Sometimes I buy them from a Greek restaurant. They freeze well too.

[@roho1087]

Great Video, quick and well explained. Very good easy to understand with no extar bla,bla,bla...👍

[@tyxeri48]

I love how your recipes are always a success!!! Your melomakarona and your baklava were the hits of Christmas this year too!!!. Thank you, Akis!

[@KitaTheFae]

My Yaiyai use to make everything from scratch or fresh, this recipe was one of them as a kid she had a whole tub of them and i would eat a ton straight away haha, they are just too good.

[@femmesusan1]

Ella! My mouth is watering like crazy. I love these cookies!!!! I worked w/ Greek girls for many years and they had me loving them! I never realized how hard to was to make them!!! I DO make good Glalaktoburiko though... :) Thank you so much for your demonstration!!

[@angeliki5135]

Glalaktouburiko (the Greek custard dessert) is the most difficult dessert to make. If you can make that, cookies will be easy peasy.

[@seriouslyscrapping]

did u marry one of them to continue the long steady flow of them?

[@tolisbergidis2347]

Way to go Akis you re from few men presents so amazing the fantastic Greek kitchen bravo excellant recipe

[@thegatesofdawn...1386]

Hi Aki! I just made your recipe for the first time and the melomakarona turned out great...Eftharisto! and Merry Christmas!

[@Cakeliciousss]

This recipe reminds me so much of traditionel turkish cookies called kalburabasti!:)) Turkey and Greece have very similiar cuisines, as a turk I love greece and greek food:)) great channel!

[@konstantina8098]

Even though it may not be Christmas I want to make these now! Thank you for this wonderful recipe Aki! It definitely will taste even better if I make these in Greece this summer!

[@akispetretzikisen]

All time favorite Christmas treat !

[@chrismylonas764]

I'm hungry all the time!,thats the problem with watching Akis videos. Well done mate, awesome work.

[@kiriap1]

WOW honestly you make it look so easy, I have never made these, mostly because I thought they would be too fiddly to make having watched my Yiayia make them as a child, it always seemed like it took them all day long to make them, it may not have actually been that way at all, but its never inspired me to make them, but having watched you I will give them a go this year......I feel inspired......lol thank you, as always Akis, Happy Christmas to you and your family, God bless you all xxx 😍

Your melomakarona look like my Greek mom's and I like that you measure ingredients by weight. I don't have a single written recipe from my mom and I have to cross-reference and use my memories to cook like her, so this is very helpful.

[@amlhassan4565]

So lovely. Thanks, I'll try it as soon as possible

[@sheriade6740]

I always come back to this recipe :D

[@mkalime]

Just made them with success. Thanks for sharing. A small comment. When the first set of, say 20 of them, comes out of the oven, dipping the first couple of them in the syrup goes according to plan. However after 4 or 5 have gone into the liquid, the syrup is not anymore cool. Yet you can't wait for it to cool down again as the cookies have to be soaked while warm. So an alternative would be to either separate the liquid in parts or better shower them from the top... (?)

[@Eleni_Datsika]

Put the syrup in the fridge. In this way, it becomes cool faster and you won't have to wait for 4 hours. The syrup will be cold by the time you prepare and bake the cookies. Plus, in this way, no matter how many hot cookies you dip inside the syrup, its temperature won't rise up too much. :)

[@angeliki5135]

There is an alternative to this. Me and my mom have done it this way for years and thought Akis was crazy for doing it the other way around. We let the cookies cool down, and dunk them into the warm syrup. We find this way works better because the cookies have a less chance of crumbling, and the warm sryup seeps it's way into the cookies. The cookies absorb it weither they are cold or warm. Just remeber: Cold syrup, warm cookies. Warm syrup, cold cookies. That's the only two ways it will work. So, if your cold sryup ever gets warm, try it out! Let the cookies get cool, then warm up the sryup on the stove top. Although they might take 2 hours to cool down. So yea fridge is best bet if you already went the cold sryup route.

[@georget.9496]

Just made them and they came out fantastic. Everyone loved them. Only one thing I only dipped them in the syrup for 2-3 seconds, otherwise they fell apart.

[@adrianakarayannopoulos2906]

Love your recipes. Could you provide the conversion from grams to lbs. or cups as I am in the USA? just want to make sure that I measure correctly. Can you freeze 1/2 of the dough and use it at a later time? Also, what Greek desserts do you recommend to make for a crowd (at least 15 persons) for Greek Easter? Thanks you so much. Efxaristo.
