Hi there, just saw your Greek greeting and spelling in Greek and English at the beginning of this video, also shows up in the transcript. Thank you for adding that. I am not and don’t speak Greek, but find it interesting to learn the greetings in the videos.😁🤗💖 Enjoy your recipes, love Za’tar and Sumac spices in Greek and Turkish recipes.

Thanks for all of your videos! But I need to share something with you. The pita bread in the air fryer worked great. But everyone needs to know that the excess flour can catch fire....

[@vinettechisholm5135]

Very nice. Looks delicious.

[@handle535]

Looks nice but doesn't scampi mean shrimp or prawn?

[@joypolk3093]

Would love to have you make a video on Greek coffee using your ‘ expresso pot’ sitting on your kitchen stove.😊

Delicious, but whats about the Scampi? The combination seems interesting. 😋

[@susanburton2857]

That’s what I was wondering 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@harrymason1053]

I grew up in a small city with a Greek and an Italian minority. Greek food wasn't well known so many Italian Food Restaurants were run by Greeks. By far, the best Italian Food was made by the Greeks.

[@bm1006]

Dimitra, I've been making your chicken shawarma recipe and it was a huge hit with my family. It is absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing high quality Greek/Mediterranean recipes on YT. In another video you mentioned that you are located in Houston and couldn't find bread flour anywhere. I am in Houston as well and am having the same problem. Where have you been getting your bread flour? Or do you only use all-purpose now? Do you host in person cooking classes as well for advanced recipes? By the way, have you been to Phoenicia (on westheimer)? It is amazing! Thanks!

[@nejlaaltay6822]

I don't know Houston but here in Austin I find King Arthur's Bread Flour in HEB markets and whole foods market.

[@bm1006]

@@nejlaaltay6822 I can't find bread flour in any HEB near my area. Guess driving to whole foods once a month will have to do thanks!

[@richardjordan8054]

Gonna try this tomorrow... BUT PLEASE clarify if it's Extra Virgin or not. It wasn't til I paused it at 10:24 that I noticed you used extra virgin! Can't wait to try make it! I've been on a pasta kick!!

Ok, but why scampi pasta? Where are the scampi?

[@Kenny49ERS]

Is this piccata or scampi? Why so much lemon? I’m confused

It's not the middle East but Africa. I have some things to tie up and will let you know. Think black hawk down...

Every industry has these terms. Okay. Zest. I thought it was soap, but okay. Lemon peel / skin? I will try to not put soap in my dish. ha ha I see this in recipes. Is it really tasting good? So, I guess only the outside yellow portion.

Looks delicious
