@@KissFromTheWorld Chuckle, I’ll bet his hands still tell him more than a machine can. I have seen automated bakeries making filo, and they are certainly more productive but the skills of this family are born in love of their craft.

What a beautiful record and tribute of the legacy this family has created. I only expected to watch a couple mins and here I am at the end- I make baklava every Christmas and I admire this family so much- there’s nothing that can replace the old ways- and I for one don’t think there’s much of the new that equals replacing the old.

The enduring charm of crafting baklava using traditional methods not only preserves a culinary legacy but also embodies a profound connection to cultural heritage. In a world that's rapidly evolving, there's a certain magic in holding onto the timeless practices that have defined generations. It's heartening to know that you, too, find solace and appreciation in the old ways, recognizing their irreplaceable value.

[@silvergirl7810]

In a world that is technologically changing so rapidly, the Covid crisis that put many old businesses out and with the malaise that seems to be ever looming over everyone’s heads politically, I’m noticing that people are forgetting past histories or never learning them- the people, culture and skills/traditions - and by doing this, not only are uninformed people buying into ‘anything’ they are also missing out on rich culture, wonderful skills that people knew/know (like in this amazing documentary) and valuable lessons that we don’t want to repeat. Several things stood out to me in this wonderful video, but I loved that there were older people sharing their skills that they were proud of. They were working and had a ‘purpose’. That is so valuable to the family unit and why people go on living longer- there were many lessons to be gained from the video - making the most from whatever job you have and doing it to the best of your ability. I was just thinking nothing he did was ‘fast’- it took effort and it was a ‘process’. All good lessons and many that kids are very much missing out on today. I connected to the video because my grandmother taught me many things growing up- I loved her very much. She taught me my first cooking lessons right from the garden that we planted. Nothing was rushed and I always cleaned up after myself. I found that there is a process to everything. Her words of wisdom still ring in my ears today. I feel that our shortcomings as a society are directly related to the disconnect in family life so when I saw this it reminded me of my grandma- she had so much to offer no matter her age. Thank you for making this video.

Wow!!! I met this man years ago in a trip to Crete! He's still working..! His laboratory was in a beautiful ancient Venetian house - Crete is been a Venetian harbour for centuries, many houses are in Venetian style - and he left me look and take pictures about his amazing work with giant sheets of fillo paste!!! Unforgettable!

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Wow! What an incredible encounter you had with him during your trip to Crete! It's truly remarkable that he's still hard at work, continuing to hone his craft over the years. The setting of his laboratory in a beautiful ancient Venetian house adds another layer of fascination to his story. Crete's longstanding history as a Venetian harbor, with many houses reflecting Venetian architectural styles, must have provided a picturesque backdrop for his work. It's fascinating to imagine the intricate process of working with giant sheets of fillo paste, and I can only imagine how mesmerizing it must have been to witness firsthand. The fact that he graciously allowed you to observe and capture his artistry through photographs speaks volumes about his generosity and pride in his work. Encounters like yours are what make travel experiences truly unforgettable, offering glimpses into the rich tapestry of culture and tradition. Thank you for sharing this captivating story with us!

What a beautiful film! He reminds me of my grandmother…she made the most amazing food by how it felt, tasted, and looked. And after making things thousands of times she just knew when it was right. I saw much of her in this man. Sadly we did not learn her skills and they have been lost. How amazing that three generations of this family are keeping this tradition and skill alive. He was so handsome as a young man and what an amazing life he has led yet he stays humble and grounded. If only more of the people in this world lived so well. ❤

Like her, the master pastry chef in the film embodies a rare combination of intuition, experience, and skill that can only come from a lifetime dedicated to their craft. Your grandmother's ability to create delicious meals by instinct and intuition, honed over years of practice, mirrors the mastery of the pastry chef featured in the documentary. It's a testament to the value of traditional knowledge passed down through generations and the importance of preserving these skills. It's indeed remarkable and inspiring to see three generations of the family continuing the legacy and keeping the tradition alive. Their commitment to preserving and sharing their culinary heritage is admirable, especially in a world where such traditions are often lost or forgotten. The humility and grounded nature of the master pastry chef, despite his remarkable life experiences, are truly admirable. His dedication to his craft and his family's legacy is evident in every aspect of his work. Your reflection serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of cherishing and preserving family traditions and skills.

[@foretb1162]

Thank you soooo much for this! I have wondered for a long time how phyllo pastry was made! I now have the answer. It is a tradition in my family to get together to make Baklava every Christmas to give as a gift to emergency first responders to thank them for their service. We have done this for over 30 years. We are not Greek but the sweetness of the pastry is a reminder that giving of our talents and kindness sweetens our thoughts towards others, unleashing compassion and gentleness. Crafting of sweet food is a generational delicate form of love. I pray this also helps others viewing this recognize the importance of the lesson intricately woven throughout this film: family ties, shared talents, traditions and willingness to learn is what keeps families together. There is a sense of pride of work as well as legacy here that is missing in our society. May this film bless others.

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt story and connection to the tradition of making Baklava. It's truly inspiring to hear how food, especially something as culturally rich as Baklava, can bring families together and foster a sense of community and gratitude. Your tradition of making Baklava for emergency first responders as a gesture of appreciation is a beautiful testament to the power of food to express gratitude and spread kindness. It's remarkable how a simple act of generosity can have such a profound impact on those who receive it, as well as on those who participate in the process. The sentiment you expressed about the sweetness of the pastry serving as a reminder of the sweetness of kindness and compassion is deeply moving. Indeed, the act of crafting sweet food, like Baklava, can be seen as a delicate form of love, passed down through generations as a cherished tradition. Your reflection on the importance of family ties, shared talents, and traditions resonates strongly. In today's fast-paced world, where societal values sometimes seem to prioritize individualism over collective well-being, it's essential to recognize and celebrate the enduring power of familial bonds and cultural heritage. This film serves as a poignant reminder of the significance of these values and traditions, as well as the importance of preserving them for future generations. May its message continue to resonate with viewers, inspiring them to cherish their own family ties, celebrate their shared talents, and embrace the richness of their cultural heritage.

Благодарим за ваши теплые слова по поводу этого замечательного фильма. Этот документальный рассказ о трех поколениях мастеров-кондитеров, работающих вместе в кондитерской на Крите, действительно касается души. Их драгоценные традиционные рецепты для баклавы и катаифа передаются из поколения в поколение, а фило (или слоеное тесто) и тесто катаифа являются важными ингредиентами в их работе на протяжении всей жизни. Этот фильм приоткрывает завесу над искусством, заложенным в каждой детали приготовления сладких деликатесов. Мастерство, стоящее за каждым изгибом теста, выражает не только профессионализм, но и уважение к традициям и искусству, которые они представляют. Ваши слова стимулируют эту замечательную семью кондитеров продолжать свое великолепное творчество. Спасибо за ваш интерес и теплоту ваших комментариев! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

He's a national treasure like so many of these old craftsmen who once they are gone the younger generation won't work this hard.

[@KissFromTheWorld]

You've touched upon a poignant truth that resonates deeply with many. The master pastry chef featured in the documentary is indeed a national treasure, embodying not just culinary excellence but also a rich cultural heritage. His dedication to his craft is a testament to a bygone era where hard work, passion, and tradition were deeply ingrained values. It's a bittersweet realization that as these old craftsmen pass on, a part of our cultural heritage fades away with them. The younger generation may not always have the same appreciation for the hard work and dedication required to master these artisanal skills. In a world where convenience often takes precedence over craftsmanship, it's essential to recognize and honor the legacy of these craftsmen while they are still with us. Their work serves as a bridge between the past and the future, reminding us of the importance of preserving and passing down traditional knowledge and skills. While the future may bring changes, it's our responsibility to ensure that the legacy of these national treasures continues to inspire and shape generations to come. In celebrating and recognizing the contributions of craftsmen like the master pastry chef, we honor not just their individual achievements but also the collective heritage they represent.

This underscores the intrinsic value of intergenerational relationships and the invaluable lessons we glean from our elders. Turning to the master pastry chef showcased in the documentary, his unwavering dedication to his craft and steadfast adherence to traditional methods, eschewing modern machinery in favor of his skilled hands, is undeniably commendable.

Для теста фило используют соль и уксус?

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Да, для приготовления теста фило в рецепте используется соль и уксус. Эти ингредиенты придают тесту нужную консистенцию и влияют на его вкусовые качества. В процессе приготовления фило-теста, соль и уксус помогают достичь желаемой текстуры и обеспечивают уникальный вкус теста. Если у вас есть ещё вопросы или вы хотели бы узнать больше, не стесняйтесь спрашивать! Уксус - обычный ингредиент в ручном производстве греческого слоеного теста (или теста phyllo). Добавление уксуса в тесто - традиционная практика, которая служит различным целям: 1-Эластичность: Уксус помогает улучшить эластичность теста, делая его более управляемым во время раскатывания и многократного складывания. 2-Хранение: Кислотность уксуса может помочь сохранить свежесть слоеного теста, особенно если оно готовится в больших количествах и должно быть сохранено. 3-Вкус: Уксус также может слегка повлиять на вкус слоеного теста, добавляя характерный оттенок. Важно отметить, что рецепты могут варьироваться, и могут существовать варианты слоеного теста без уксуса. Тем не менее, использование уксуса довольно распространено и может рассматриваться как традиционный элемент во многих рецептах греческого слоеного теста. В документальном фильме мастер-кондитер не использует уксус. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia. @@alexanderpyshchev5149

Πήγα το καλοκαίρι του 23. Ό,τι πήρα απο εκεί ήταν υπέροχο. Όσο για τη διαδικασία, μαγική!❤

Απολύτως εκπληκτικό! Η επίσκεψή σας στο ζαχαροπλαστείο το καλοκαίρι του '23 ακούγεται σαν μια θαυμάσια εμπειρία.

We should to say the Ottoman baklava and kataifi.

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Indeed, when discussing the origins of baklava and kataifi, it's crucial to acknowledge the historical context. The Ottoman Empire played a significant role in shaping the culinary landscape of the region, and many traditional recipes, including baklava and kataifi, have roots in this era. However, it's important to recognize that culinary traditions often transcend political boundaries and are influenced by various cultures and civilizations over time. While the Ottoman Empire certainly made significant contributions to the development of these desserts, their origins may trace back even further, with influences from different regions and cultures. The true value of these culinary traditions lies not only in their historical origins but also in the dedication of those who continue to preserve and pass them down through generations. It's the artisans, like the master pastry chefs featured in the documentary, who keep these traditions alive through their sacrifice, love, and commitment to their craft. Without their efforts, these ancient recipes would risk being lost to history, depriving future generations of the opportunity to experience and celebrate them. Therefore, while acknowledging the Ottoman influence on baklava and kataifi, it's equally essential to honor the artisans who safeguard these traditions and ensure their continuity for years to come. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

These sweets derive from populations that lived for millennia in cities. They aren’t recipes of nomads. Nomads as people of livestock and shepherds are excellent in the cooking of meat and in the production of cheese and yogurt. Turkic tribes came relatively recently in the Mediterranean as nomads, wonderers. They came without an alphabet or agricultural knowledge, they came as paganists/shamanists and coming towards the Byzantine Greeks of Asia Minor they stopped to say hello to the poor Persians who were butchered mercilessly(nomads know how to butcher brilliantly because they are shepherds). The encounter with the Persians and the Arabians, civilised the turkic tribes a bit. It gave them the Arabic writing and Allah as their god. Also many recipes of the people of the primordial empires of the middle and near east were appropriated by the audacious newcomers. This audacity continues today. We are all sons and daughters of nomads but the most recent in the Mediterranean are the turks. So the least that they can do, is to search in the terrabytes of books, scrolls, instructions and traditions that the previous civilisations left behind to find that the foods (savoury and sweets) that they think as turkish are actually recipes of the people that lived upon the lands that they conquered. You took the best part of the greek world. You live upon it. You make billions from the monuments that these people left behind (temples, ancient cities, pottery, statues, gold, ivory, churches, monasteries, picturesque villages etc) and you have the audacity to claim that you have a national character and psyche. Show some respect to the spirits of the people that you erased from the face of this world and study their traditions. It’s what makes you wealthy and important today.

Baklava Türkiye Gaziantep indir. Kadayıf ise Türkiye Hatay'ındır

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Kesinlikle! Baklava, özellikle Gaziantep mutfağına ait nefis bir lezzet. Kadayıf ise Hatay'ın gurur kaynağı tatlarından biri. Ancak burada önemli bir nokta var: Geleneksel mutfak, yalnızca coğrafi sınırlarla sınırlı değil; aynı zamanda kültürel etkileşimlerden beslenen bir zenginliği temsil ediyor. Türk mutfağı, tarih boyunca çeşitli medeniyetlerin etkisi altında kalarak kendine özgü bir karakter geliştirdi. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun geniş coğrafyası, farklı kültürleri bir araya getirerek Türk mutfağını zenginleştirdi. Bugün, Türk mutfağı sadece bir ulusal kimlik değil, aynı zamanda küresel bir miras haline geldi. Bu bağlamda, Baklava ve Kadayıf gibi ikonik lezzetler, sadece Türkiye'nin değil, aynı zamanda kültürler arası etkileşimin bir ürünüdür. Bu lezzetler, insanları bir araya getirme ve kültürler arasında bir köprü kurma potansiyeline sahiptir. Geleneksel mutfak, sadece sofralarda değil, aynı zamanda kültürel etkileşim ve anlayışın bir yansıması olarak da önemli bir role sahiptir. 🌍🇹🇷 Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Evet kardesim aynen oyle. Hatay'da Turkiyemize aittir.

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Hatay bölgesi, Türkiye'nin güneyinde yer alan, tarihi ve coğrafi konumu nedeniyle zengin ve çeşitli bir mutfağa sahiptir. Hatay'ın tarihi, Romalılar, Bizanslılar, Araplar, Haçlılar ve Osmanlılar gibi farklı kültürlerin etkisi altında kalmıştır. Bu çeşitli etkiler, yerel yemeklerin çeşitliliğine yansımıştır. İşte Hatay mutfağının tipik yemeklerinden bazıları: Künefe: İnce kadayıf katmanları arasına peynir konularak yapılan ve çıtır bir kıvam elde edilene kadar pişirilen geleneksel bir tatlı. Genellikle tatlı bir şurup ile servis edilir. Muhammara: Kırmızı biber, ceviz, sarımsak ve zeytinyağı temelinde yapılan bir sos. Genellikle et yemeklerinde veya ekmek için sos olarak kullanılır. Beyaz Peynir: Feta peynirine benzeyen, bölgede oldukça popüler bir peynir türü. Genellikle ekmekle birlikte veya salatalarda tüketilir. Antakya Kebabı: Kuzu veya dana eti ile yapılan, genellikle ızgarada veya fırında pişirilen Türk kebabının bir varyantı. Genellikle pilav veya ekmekle servis edilir. Labneh: Genellikle zeytinyağı ile tatlandırılan ve genellikle bir atıştırmalık veya yan yemek olarak sunulan yoğurt bazlı bir ürün. Mansaf: Pilav, kuzu eti ve yoğurt içeren, Arap mutfağına özgü bir yemek. Genellikle özel günlerde hazırlanan geleneksel bir yemektir. Za'atar ve Ekmek: Ortadoğu mutfağına ait bir atıştırmalık; ekmek zeytinyağına batırılır ve ardından za'atar adlı bir karışıma batırılır. Kuzu Tandır: Baharatlar ve aromalar ile yavaşça fırında pişirilen kuzu eti. Sonuç, yumuşak ve lezzetli bir et olur. Hatay mutfağı, bol miktarda taze ve aromatik malzeme kullanımı ile bilinir ve biber, patlıcan, ceviz ve baharat gibi malzemelerin bolca kullanılmasıyla karakterizedir. Hatay'ın zengin mutfak geçmişi, Akdeniz, Doğu ve Arap mutfaklarından gelen lezzetleri harmanlayarak benzersiz bir deneyim sunar. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia @@yildizkiz8038 Annulla Rispondi

Özür dilerim, ancak saygılı bir dil kullanmak önemlidir. Sizinle aynı fikirde olmayabiliriz, ancak farklı kültürleri anlamak ve paylaşmak önemli bir deneyimdir. Türk mutfağı zengin bir geçmişe sahiptir ve bu kültürel mirası takdir etmek önemlidir. Herkesin kendi kültürüne saygı göstermek, anlayışı artırmak için önemlidir. Baklava ve kantaifi'nin kökenleri, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun tarihine sarılıdır. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ne kadar büyük olduğunu biliyor musun? Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, 1299'dan 1922'ye kadar gelişen, tarihin en geniş ve uzun ömürlü imparatorluklarından biri olmuştur. Yüzyıllar boyunca sürekli evrim geçiren coğrafi sınırlara sahip olan bu imparatorluk, başlangıçta Osman Gazi tarafından kurulmuş olup çeşitli aşamalardan geçmiş ve bölgede giderek hakim bir konuma gelmiştir. En geniş sınırlarına ulaştığında, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu Güneydoğu Avrupa'dan Batı Asya'ya ve Kuzey Afrika'dan Orta Avrupa'ya kadar uzanan geniş bir bölgeyi kapsamaktaydı. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun coğrafi sınırları, çeşitli toprak ve nüfus çeşitliliği ile karakterize edilmiştir. Doğuda, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu günümüz Irak, Suriye ve Filistin topraklarına kadar uzanmakta olup Bağdat ve Şam gibi önemli kültürel ve tarihi merkezleri kapsamaktadır. Kuzeyde, Osmanlı toprakları Balkanlar boyunca uzanmakta olup bugün Yunanistan, Bulgaristan, Romanya, Sırbistan ve Bosna-Hersek'in bir parçasını içermektedir. İmparatorluğun başkenti İstanbul (önceki adıyla Konstantinopolis), stratejik olarak Avrupa ve Asya arasında, Boğaziçi'nin kıyısında yer almaktaydı. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, Arabistan'ın önemli bir kısmını da kapsamakta olup Arab Yarımadası'nda ve Kızıldeniz kıyı bölgelerinde etkili bir varlığa sahipti. Kuzey Afrika'da ise imparatorluk Cezayir, Tunus ve Mısır'ın bazı bölgelerini kontrol altında tutmaktaydı. Ancak, yüzyıllar boyunca Osmanlı İmparatorluğu savaşlar, antlaşmalar ve jeopolitik değişiklikler nedeniyle sınırlarında dalgalanmalar yaşamıştır. 19. yüzyılda, dış baskılar ve iç ulusal hareketler nedeniyle genişleme süreci kademeli olarak daralmaya başlamıştır. Birinci Dünya Savaşı'nın sonunda, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun sınırları Sevr Antlaşması (1920) ve ardından Lozan Antlaşması (1923) ile drastik bir şekilde küçülmüş, imparatorluğun sonunu getirerek Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin kuruluşunu işaret etmiştir. Hala baklava ve kantaifi'nin sadece Türk özel bir şey olduğuna, sadece Türkiye'de yaratıldığına, sadece Türkiye'de yenildiğine, sadece Türk mülkiyetinde olduğuna ve sadece Türk kültürüne ait olduğuna mı inanıyorsun? Baklava ve kantaifi gibi gıdaların kökenleri genellikle birkaç kültür arasında paylaşılır ve etkileşim içindedir. Bu tatlılar, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun zengin mutfak geleneğinde şekillenmiştir ve zamanla farklı coğrafyalara yayılmıştır. Birçok yiyecek gibi, baklava ve kantaifi de zaman içinde çeşitli kültürler tarafından benimsenmiş ve özümsenmiştir. Yiyecek kültürü, bir toplumun tarihini, coğrafyasını ve etkileşimde bulunduğu diğer kültürleri yansıtan dinamik bir süreçtir. Bu lezzetlerin yalnızca bir bölgeye veya millete ait olmadığı, aksine zaman içinde farklı yerlerde adapte edildiği ve evrildiği söylenebilir. Bu, gıda kültürünün sınırların ötesinde yayılan, değişen ve zenginleşen bir özellik taşıdığı anlamına gelir. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia @@TrTc1976

The effing music is a bit dramatic. We're making pastry boys, not solving the deep mysteries of the universe.

[@KissFromTheWorld]

We understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to music, and what may seem dramatic to one person might not feel that way to another. We strive to choose music that enhances the viewing experience and complements the visuals and emotions portrayed in the documentary. Music plays a crucial role in setting the tone and atmosphere of a film, helping to convey emotions, build tension, and create a sense of immersion for the audience. While some may perceive the music as dramatic, others might appreciate its ability to add depth and emotion to the storytelling process. That being said, we acknowledge that not every piece of music will resonate with every viewer, and we do our best to cater to a diverse audience. Our goal is to strike a balance that appeals to as many people as possible while staying true to the overall theme and message of the documentary. Our aim is to create a compelling and engaging viewing experience that leaves a lasting impression on our audience.
