Authentic Greek Moussaka & Greek Salad | Akis Petretzikis

[@831zumbando]

OMG, for all the haters criticizing how he speaks don’t watch give it a rest and appreciate this young mans cooking.

[@BM_100]

His English is good, he just only has an accent. He is still easy to understand.

[@solofilmproduction]

I only listen to chefs from their native countries - I want my Greek chefs to sound Greek! ❤

[@UmarGhuman]

How is it that this guy doesn't have a million subscribers? His recipes are INCREDIBLE

[@2002alexandros]

He's mainly a TV personality, he's a Ramsay/ Jamie Oliver tv type of chef but for greece

[@__pallavi__]

Alexander T. Ohhhh I had no idea! I was wondering why he isn’t more popular so KZbin, that explains it! Thank you! What is his show called? Is he insanely popular in Greece?

[@2002alexandros]

@@__pallavi__ Almost everyone knows him, he's like the Jamie Oliver of Greece. His shoes is called Kitchen Lab, he also has a few restaurants here in Athens. And the funny thing is that he became known because he was the winner of the first ever MasterChef Greece in 2010

[@__pallavi__]

Alexander T. Thanks so much! Last question, I promise - if you’re Greek, can you tell me if his recipes are actually what you’d see and make in the average Greek household, especially in the context of the oil and the ingredients used. I’m asking because in my country, most of the celebrity chefs you see use a lot of oil and a ton of ingredients and prepare their dishes, although delicious, in fancy ways you usually wouldn’t see in the average household.

[@Liz5144.]

Pallavi Rawat he basically has adjusted his recipes so that they can be easy to follow from an average Greek person. Actually most people do his recipes because they are so well explained , with not that many ingredients and always tasteful!

I have tried greek moussaka once... then i sent the link to my mom... my mom sent it to my sisters... and now its a family dish or tradition that we all love and enjoy very mush.... thank you.

[@creativecook100]

Amazing recipe! I'm Italian but I am here because I love Greek food.

[@shirleypizzuto7488]

Akis, I agree with those commenting about the ladies voice for this recipe. It is not a pleasant addition to your presentation. My husband agreed. We love your vitality, your accent, your love of food. It’s not important whether or not some think you should pronounce words to their liking, it’s not about putting you in a box. You are doing what you are called of God to do.❤️❤️❤️❤️ Stay who you are and keep the cooking and presentation YOURS alone.😘 No music needed either. It’s distractions from what you are cooking and saying. God Bless and long yrs of health. I cannot eat much of what you cook, because I have cancer, but I am copying recipes and will make them for pleasure later👏💃🏻 We love your attitude and the love you share with us for so much healthier food than shown elsewhere😍😍😍😍

[@miloudabouichou]

Moussaka is the Yummiest. I think that voice-over is not necessary.

[@marketcernikova7024]

The voiceover doesn't match with your channel, Akis! It becomes so iunnatural ...It should always be you who names the ingredients

[@CJ-rx5fi]

Great recipes - agree the voiceover is unnecessary. It kinda takes away from the charm of Akis and his fantastic accent ;)

[@vetou20]

Wasn't it pronounced moussakà?

[@MariaMonaSilvia]

I must admit, this is the best mousakka I have ever made! Delicious! It is the second best I have ever eaten, the best one was in Greece! I have been eating and cooking Mousakka my whole life, Romanians have importend this dish from Greece a few centuries ago, but it changed somehow in our country. I have always liked it, but since I have tasted it in Greece it became a favourite dish of mine. I have searched and searched for a recipe, but this is the one!!! I have always thought it was the meat, it was lamb in Greece when I ate it in a restaurant. But it is the recipe. Thank you! Such a perfect and sexy dish! :))

[@Leolioness44]

I lived in Athens Greece and travel to several islands. Never ever came across moussaka that was made with lamb meat. What island or region did you eat moussaka with lamb?

[@cookietime2635]

ohhh lamb...im sold

[@aabidadar5532]

Akis where were you, when I was in Greece for years? Wish I had found you on KZbin then. I would have loved to make all these dishes there. Because everything was fresh and pure. Miss Greece so much. 😘

[@turboplazz]

Preach to the world. Greek cuisine is not complicated because the ingredients local to Greece have been kissed by the Gods. Simple and tasty. I will take that over anything and everything else.

Akis...Thanks for the list of ingredients in the beginning of the video. Easy to pause & follow. Great idea to blend Bechamel Sauce into the chopped meat mixture before adding the Bechamel topping. Did it and it added another depth of flavor to the dish. Also I always added a pinch of sugar for acidity (even in my tomato sauce)...and some friends reacted in horror. Go figure. Thumbs Up....

I just love this Greek salad! It is absolutely refreshing & the ingredients are always readily available in the kitchen. I do add some sunflower seeds & use ciabatta to soak up the left over liquid / dressing. Yum!

[@gingerbreadhaus3700]

I have made your moussaka recipe a few times already and it's always loved by family and friends. I must admit, we prefer the fried veggies over the baked method. The baked veg in moussaka still taste good but this recipe of moussaka with fried vegetable tastes so much better. The best moussaka ever, bar none.

[@jaytlamunch4459]

Yes, two wonderful delicious recipes. Thank you, Akis

[@ΓιώργοςΑ-ψ7ψ]

you foreigners can't cook moussaka by yourself. you don't know how to cook it and someone Greek has to show you otherwise you're making a mess especially in England and America where your food is boiled in water without taste.

Am going to try . I did before let me try again. Thank youGreece for Akis

[@keelfly]

The authentic Greek moussaka has no zucchini and some claim not even potatoes. The potatoes according to many, were added in restaurants because they were cheaper than eggplants. The zucchini were added in the 1990s by people who felt Moussaka had become boring, (crazy people, how can moussaka be boring) and wanted to innovate. If you do not put potatoes and/or zucchini add more eggplants. It tastes AMAZING no matter how you make it as long as you keep the same Mornay/Bechamel sauce and the classic minced beef recipe.

[@tyxeri48]

For me, as a moussaka purist, zucchinis in the moussaka is a sacrilege, while potatoes damage the texture of the eggplants. Period.

[@M23Z1974]

This recipe is really extremely delicious!! I made it first for my own family and then for my brothers family, with feta cheese bread on the side. As Akis always says: they will love you! And they really did 😁😁
